Summary |
A dense and powerful essay on the notion of identity and national identity, and on how they play in our contemporary world. In contrast with the various attempts to cling to established identities, or to enclose identity within dubious agendas, Nancy shows that an identity is always open: to alterity and its transformations. |
Contents |
Fragments -- Causes and consequences -- Gros Rouge -- Identity is not a figure -- Frankly -- Absolute -- Who? -- Why speak of identity? -- Peoples -- Nations -- Empires -- Identities, intimacies. |
