As a result of the learning, the student will know the main problems involved in narratives that have as their core content the identity, as well as theories that have dealt with them, will have the conceptual and methodological tools to address them, will be able to handle the bibliography On the subject and to elaborate a brief work on the issues involved in the subject with the pertinent academic and conceptual rigor.

This course presents the ways in which they present the relationships between identity, difference and otherness in the various literary genres (narrative, dramaturgy) and other practices of cultural and visual representation. Identity as a nuclear concept of contemporary culture has dimensions in various ontological orders ranging from the individual to the social, from the real to the imaginary, from the structural to the contingent and historical. The program develops these aspects with the aim of familiarizing the student with an interpretative concept of the dynamics of modernity that continue to act as constitutive processes of our societies. UNIT 1: The Substrate of Identity In this theme the dimensions of personal identity and the historical dynamics that lead to their formation as explanatory concepts that interpret people's behaviors are developed 1.1. The dissolution of the subject as a theme of contemporary culture 1.2. The secularization of a concept: mind, subject, person. Fragments of a cultural history 1.3. Identity as substrate: body and memory 1.4. Identity agent: autonomy and action 1.5. Social identity: people and collectives UNIT 2: The identity between opacity and transparency Personal identity is treated as a normative process that develops between an internal component, the self and an external one, the action of the self on the environment. This duality is expressed as a complex of tensions that shape identity in a social space of recognition. 2.1. Mental opacity and self-deception 2.2. The divided self: the psychoanalytic tradition 2.3. Rational Paths and Emotional Landscapes 2.3. The presentation of the person UNIT 3: The Story of Experience This theme develops what has historically been considered as the result of a well-formed identity: experience is the concept that interprets the processes of interaction with the environment as processes that contribute to the development of personal identity. In this subject, the "I" is treated as an achievement of the capacity to take charge of the commitments and plans, but also of the memory and structuring of the past time as a time with meaning. 3.1. Narrative identities 3.2. Memory Pictures 3.3. Experience and subjectivity 3.4. The conquest of the self UNIT 4: imagined identities Collective identities are formed by generating plans and shared knowledge that produce identifications and cooperative mobilizations of individuals. These processes are produced in part through stories in which idealized identities are used in the past (ethnicity) or in the future (utopias) that act as group cements 4.1. Imagined Communities and Dystopias 4.2. Power Reports 4.3. Resistance stories 4.3. Mourning, trauma and resentment UNIT 5: Material identities: 5.1. Development Environments 5.2. Symbolic niches 5.3. Extended Minds
