About the concept of identity. Traces of reflection. The Author tries to outline a concept of identity appropriate to the variety of often contrasting meanings that identity has as-sumed in the current debate. For this purpose the Author analyses the contrasts that concern the concept of identity on a methodological, logical and political-sociological level. He examines a series of distinctions between identity as a category of analysis and identity as a category of practice, between methodological identity and real identi-ty, between identity as a structure of social life and identity as a product of social con-struction in order to define the problem of identity and its multiple aspects.
In questo saggio l’Autore cerca di delineare un concetto di identità adeguato alla varie-tà di significati spesso contrastanti che l’identità ha assunto nel dibattito attuale. A questo scopo l’Autore analizza i contrasti che riguardano il concetto di identità sul piano metodologico, logico e politico-sociologico. Egli esamina una serie di distinzioni tra identità come categoria di analisi e identità come categoria della pratica, tra identità metodologica e identità reale, tra identità come struttura della vita sociale e identità come prodotto della costruzione sociale, allo scopo di definire il problema dell’identità e i suoi molteplici aspetti.

Abstract
About the concept of identity. Traces of reflection. The Author tries to outline a concept of identity appropriate to the variety of often contrasting meanings that identity has as-sumed in the current debate. For this purpose the Author analyses the contrasts that concern the concept of identity on a methodological, logical and political-sociological level. He examines a series of distinctions between identity as a category of analysis and identity as a category of practice, between methodological identity and real identi-ty, between identity as a structure of social life and identity as a product of social con-struction in order to define the problem of identity and its multiple aspects.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
