La identidad social o el retorno del sujeto en sociología

Abstract

What is the origin of the sudden interest on the topic of identities in social theory? Giménez points out two different sources of this growing concern: a) the questions that public power poses about the future of local and national singularities in a world that tends to "globalization, b) the natural trend in social research to study new forms of Social crisis, specifically, what the author calls a general crisis of identities.
