'Identities and Identifications: Politicized Uses of Collective Identities', Zagreb, Croatia
18 April 2013 - 18 April 2013
Croatia
A conference entitled 'Identities and Identifications: Politicized Uses of Collective Identities' will take place from 18 to 20 April 2013 in Zagreb, Croatia.
In psychology and sociology, identity is a person's conception and expression of his/her individuality or group affiliations (such as national identity and cultural identity).The identity is conceived to provide unity and recognition while it also exists through separation and differentiation. Few concepts were used as much as identity for contradictory purposes. From the fragile individual identities as self-solidifying frameworks to layered in-group identifications in families, orders, organizations, religions, ethnic groups, regions, nation-states, supra-national entities or any other social entities, this concept always shows up in the core of debates and makes everything either too dangerously simple or too complicated.
The conference will discuss collective identities research, to bring once more into debate the processes of identity making, identity building in both constructivist or de-constructivist dimensions. The conference will open the floor to dynamic, multi-dimensional and inter-disciplinary understandings of identities in their historic context and in the way they shape the present and future of organizations or communities.For further information, please visit
