- Summary:
- Throughout its history, Europe has been torn by the violence of ethnic and nationalist struggles which legitimated in the name of identity. This anthology explores the assumptions of identity by disassembling old myths and fictions of unity in relation to the subject, politics and art. Other than Identity offers the possibility of rethinking the concept and introducing instead notions of self and other, identity politics, and aesthetics. Through theoretical and concrete examples, this study exemplifies the best of current thinking concerning identity. It marks a new venture in multi-disciplinarity bringing together writers from different fields and visual artists to produce work specifically for this publication.
