Kommentar/Beschreibung

In the recent years, the dominant political model, the nation-state, is being challenged by new identity movements. Globalization and liberalism, migrations and diaspora formation, new information and communication technologies, lead to the building of postmodern identity claims, in diverse societies. Political, social and even economic mobilization are built upon identities and their characteristics, and challenge old models, in national and transnational spaces. In this course, we will discuss the concept of diversity with regards to digital technologies, political spaces, social mobilizations, to reflect on the questions: what is identity? Are identities political and to what conditions do they become politicized? Is diversity and identity compatible with a societal project? What role do new technologies play in identity politics? How does it relate with power and domination?

Objectives
• Discuss the identity transformations and political revendications off- and online, in given institutional contexts
• Recontextualize identity politics and diversity in their historical, political and economic contexts
• Question identity and politics critically
• Approach these topics with examples and empirical evidence
