Las mil caras de la identidad: identidad narrativa y reconocimiento

Abstract

The matter of identity is an interdisciplinary issue, which means that no single approach to the question can be made as the topic has been addressed in many different ways: i.e. culturally, socially, digitally, and genetically. Identity could also be approached from a gender standpoint and, by all means, from a philosophical stance, which I shall be looking at. More specifically, I will take up a few of the most innovative contributions developed by Paul Ricœur from a hermeneutical angle, when he presents the concepts of narrative identity and the sameness-ipseity dichotomy.
