This text intends to approach the question of sexual identity as it has been defined in queer theory, and particularly in Judith Butler's work. The notion of performativity, closely related to a conception of the social as an open field of power relations where all identity is a contingent and precarious stabilization, leads to a politicization of identity that implies a second step further from its denaturalization. Identity is the place from which we can articulate a resistance politics, and its open and incomplete character is what allows its resignification.

Identity conflicts pose a series of problems to contemporary liberal-democratic societies. We deal with claims to the recognition of collective identities. The constitutional State is bound to take these requests for recognition seriously and it must guarantee a politics of consideration of cultural differences. The constitutional State must, at the same time, protect integrity and freedom of individuals, ensuring the possibility of being able to live in the world of their culture, the possibility of taking a critical attitude towards this culture, the possibility of breaking with it. The legal coexistence with equal rights for forms of life implies the mutual respect of the different cultural memberships that form own identity. The recognition of equal dignity requires inclusive social relations, which are established through the communicative discourse and which develop in the public political space only through dialogical confrontation. ; Los conflictos identitarios presentan una serie de problemas a las sociedades liberal-democráticas contemporáneas. Nos hallamos ante pretensiones de reconocimiento avanzadas por identidades colectivas. El deber del Estado constitucional es tomar en serio esas peticiones de reconocimiento y garantizar una política que respete las diferencias culturales. Al mismo tiempo, debe tutelar la integridad y la libertad de cada individuo, asegurándole la posibilidad de poder vivir en el mundo de su propia cultura, de tener una actitud crítica hacia esa cultura y de apartarse de esta. La equiparación jurídica de las formas de vida, mediada a través de los derechos, exige el respeto mutuo por lo que a las diferentes pertenencias culturales que forman su propia identidad se refiere. El reconocimiento de la igual dignidad exige relaciones sociales inclusivas, que se establecen por medio del discurso comunicativo y se desarrollan en el espacio público político solo a través de confrontaciones dialógicas.

Many postmodern authors have claimed the dissolution of identity due to the multiplicity of personal relationships, to the variety of experiences or to the huge social changes in process. Nonetheless, I argue that, in spite of not being possible to sustain an essentialist conception of the subject, there are many elements that preclude an absolute dissolution of identity, anchoring the subject to a certain personal identity, but in a problematic, conflictive, and changing way. Furthermore, the dissolution of identity would not necessarily be beneficial for subjects nor groups, as long as the demand of interaction rights comes close to the maintaining of acknowledgeable identities. The problem would rather be the difficulty to accede to valuable identities in the prevailing life conditions, making difficult to produce positive self-discourses, and thus generalizing processes of identity 'fragilization.'

Is the 21st century the Chinese century? Westernization has changed nearly all facets of life in China, except for politics (Wu, 2009). This has created mass-confusion, enthusiasm, rebellion, romanticism, and idealism. The 1990s manufacturing industries continued to dominate the acceleration of consumerism in the 21st century and created, more than ever, a bizarrely giant, abstract world of identity that is self-created and sustained. This paper examines the politics of abstract desire, hyper-consumerism, and the notion of fantasy in the Chinese fashion industry. Today, hundreds of giant "hyper-malls" found all over China are connected to the distribution of fake "stuff." These commercial emblems have become an integral part of China's visual and social landscape. The marketplace of fake goods using Western brand images (e.g. logos) has grown for centuries to become an abstract superstructure of falsely branded lifestyles and design integrity. The global rise of hyper-consumerism gave China the ultimate opportunity to create a new identity for itself while importing the dream of luxury: The Buying Power. This paper focuses on abstracting the notion of hyper-consumerism and interrogating the relationship between visual advertisement, its materiality, and its representation in the global marketplace. How does advertising contribute to the production of consumer goods? Can we create a cyclical vision for new materials? How is the value of luxury created, displaced, transformed, and consumed through space and time? ; Es el siglo 21 el siglo chino? La occidentalización ha cambiado casi todas las facetas de la vida en China, a excepción de la política (Wu, 2009). Esto ha creado confusión masiva, entusiasmo, rebelión, romanticismo e idealismo.

Este artículo examina la política del deseo abstracto, el hiper consumismo y la noción de fantasía en la industria de la moda china. Hoy, cientos de "hipermercados" gigantes que se encuentran en toda China están dedicados a la distribución de "cosas" falsas. Estos emblemas comerciales se han convertido en una parte integral del paisaje visual y social de China. El mercado de productos falsificados que utilizan imágenes de marcas occidentales (ej., logotipos) ha crecido durante siglos hasta convertirse en una gran estructura abstracta de estilos de vida con marcas falsas y diseño integral. El aumento global del hiperconsumo le dio a China la última oportunidad de crear una nueva identidad para sí misma mientras se importa el sueño del lujo: The Buying Power. Este documento se centra en abstraer la noción de hiperconsumismo e interrogar la relación entre la publicidad visual, su materialidad y su representación en el mercado global. ¿Cómo contribuye la publicidad a la producción de bienes de consumo? ¿Podemos crear una visión cíclica de nuevos materiales? ¿Cómo se crea, se desplaza, se transforma y se consume el valor del lujo a través del espacio y el tiempo? ; O século 21 é o século chinês?

ABSTRACT Formation of the civil nation is the most important task for any state which is related to all-civil identity. Russia faces serious ethnocultural problems connected to the formation of both linguistic identity and civil identity. At the theoretical level, this research investigates the question of important factors of balanced language policy in the multinational states and the preservation of language identity. The linguistic dimension of globalization takes into account the constructive language policy with regard to languages of national minorities and destructive forms of language interaction caused by economic and political dependence on more developed states. RESUMEN La formación de la nación civil es la tarea más importante para cualquier estado relacionado con la identidad totalmente civil. Rusia enfrenta serios problemas etnoculturales relacionados con la formación de la identidad lingüística y la identidad civil. A nivel teórico, este trabajo investiga la cuestión de los factores importantes de una política lingüística equilibrada en los estados multinacionales y la preservación de la identidad lingüística. La dimensión lingüística de la globalización tiene en cuenta la política lingüística constructiva con respecto a las lenguas de las minorías nacionales y las formas destructivas de interacción lingüística causadas por la economía y la política.

Introduction: The development of adolescents living outside the environment of their families and residing in institutional shelters presents peculiar characteristics in the interactions established in their daily lives and the constitution of their identities. Erikson's psychosocial theory studies identity formation, observing exploration and commitment. Identity status can be classified as identity diffusion, foreclosure, moratorium, and identity achievement.Objective: To evaluate identity status of adolescents living in institutional shelters.Methods: Eighty-seven adolescents living in institutional shelters (age 12–17) individually responded to the Extended Objective Measure of the Ego Identity Status II (EOMEIS II). The data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics which included the following variables: gender, age range, schooling, and time of sheltering.Results: There was a prevalence of the identity diffusion status in both genders, regardless of the length of schooling and despite the time of sheltering. There were differences in the results considering age range (p = 0,033).Conclusion: Older adolescents showed greater losses in identity development, with more negative and immature states of identity, indicative of poor preparation for leaving the institution (at age 18).

AbstractIdentity has become a key construct in applied linguistics over the past 30 years, as more and more researchers have heeded Norton Peirce's (1995: 12) call for 'a comprehensive theory of social identity that integrates the language learner and the language learning context'. In this article, my aim is to discuss what I see as issues arising in identity research in applied linguistics. I start with a brief consideration of why identity has become so central in applied linguistics, before discussing the poststructuralist model of identity which has been adopted by the vast majority of researchers. I then move to consider three more substantive issues: (1) the potential benefits of a more psychological angle when most language and identity research tends to be predominantly social; (2) the importance of clarifying the interrelationship between individual agency and social structures in language and identity research; and (3) the potential benefits of including a socioeconomic stratification and social class angle in research which tends to prime identity politics (identity inscriptions such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, nationality and language), over the material conditions of life.ResumenLa identidad se ha convertido en un constructo clave en la lingüística aplicada durante los últimos 30 años, dado que cada vez más investigadores han seguido la llamada de Norton Peirce (1995: 12) en lo que se refiere a 'a comprehensive theory of social identity that integrates the language learner and the language learning context'. En este artículo, mi intención es tratar lo que considero como cuestiones claves en las investigaciones sobre la "identidad" en la lingüística aplicada. Empiezo con una breve reflexión sobre por qué la identidad ha llegado a ser tan importante en la lingüística aplicada, para pasar después a examinar el modelo posestructuralista de la identidad que han adoptado la gran mayoría de los investigadores. En segundo lugar paso a considerar tres cuestiones: (1) los beneficios potenciales de una perspectiva más psicológica en este tipo de investigaciones ya que la mayoría de ellas sobre la lingüística y la identidad tienden a considerar fundamentalmente el aspecto social; (2) lo importante que es clarificar la interrelación entre la agencia individual y la estructura social en las investigaciones sobre lingüística e identidad; y (3) los beneficios potenciales de incorporar la estratificación socio-económica y clase social en investigaciones que tienden a dar prioridad a las políticas identitarias (inscripciones de la identidad como la raza, la etnia, el género, la sexualidad, la nacionalidad y la lengua) sobre las condiciones materiales de la vida.

Urban, juvenile, cultures, are configured as spaces of identity and socialization of youths for youths, and are strengthened with the weakening of the traditional integration mechanisms (school, family, works religion) and the disrepute of the political institutions, in this context, urban cultural studies acquire relevance, where young people emerge as individuals and as productive groups of Culture because of their ways of understanding and taking on the world.The juvenile Cultures are confronting the structuring identity, thus we recognize in them the emergence of instable, mobile, current, rootless identities. which confront the traditional notion of identity: fixed, unique, and homogeneous. The renewed juvenile identities are denominated fragmented identities. pre-formative identities, for the identities developed in juvenile cultures are adapted, disfigured, or reconstructed by the young people: they invent their own identity and even more so, they are unfaithful, that is, they resist to remaining any polished, defined, determined, or structured identity.The collective relationship, juvenile culture-esthetics-identity, opens up a renewed perspective of researching which we are carrying out to the University of Medellin and it pretends to show the core role Which music fulfills as a juvenile identity force which, furthermore, enhances the possibilities of creation and cultural production of the youths for the youths. ; Las culturas juveniles urbanas se configuran como espacios de identidad y socialización de jóvenes para jóvenes, y se fortalecen con el debilitamiento de los mecanismos de integración tradicional (escuela, familia, trabajo, religión) y el descrédito de las instituciones políticas. En este contexto adquieren relevancia los estudios culturales urbanos, donde los jóvenes aparecen corno sujetos y grupos productores de cultura por sus maneras de (entender: y asumir el mundo.Las culturas juveniles confrontan las identidades estructurantes, por eso reconocemos en ellas la emergencia de identidades inestables, móviles, presentes, sin arraigo. que confrontan la noción tradicional de identidad fija, única y homogénea. Las renovadas identidades juveniles son denominadas identidades fragmentadas. identidades perfor­mativas, pues las identidades que se gestan en las culturas juveniles son apropiadas, desfiguradas o reconstruidas por los jóvenes: ellos y ellas inventan su identidad y más aún son in–fieles, es decir, se resisten a permanecer en una forma identitaria acabada, definida, determinada, estructurada.La relación cultura juvenil –estética– Identidad colectiva abre una renovada perspectiva de investigación que adelantamos en la Universidad de Medellín, y pretende mostrar el papel central que cumple la música, como una fuerza identitaria juvenil, que además potencia la posibilidad de creación y producción cultural, de los jóvenes para los jóvenes.Investigación financiada por la Dirección de Investigaciones de la Universidad de Medellín.
