Social Identity in Sociological Discourse: Theoretical and Methodological Analysis
https://doi.org/10.26105/SSPU.2023.86.5.023
Abstract
The comprehension of the phenomenon of identity, the establishment of the starting points for the development of the concept of identity are the priority directions of the development of modern sociological theory. However, the interdisciplinary approach of modern socio-humanitarian knowledge in relation to the studied object causes fragmentation and blurring of the concept, which complicates its substantive and structural-logical measurement. The purpose of this article is to theoretically analyze the concepts of identity, clarify the conceptual and categorical apparatus and highlight the basic characteristics for the sociological understanding of identity. It is stated that the focus of sociological research has shifted from identifying the importance of the system of social structure in the processes of formation of human subjectivity as determinants of social integration, consolidation and solidarity to the transformation of the modalities of modern identity as a product of the production of difference and exclusion, overcoming its crisis and fragmentation.
