The conference will explore the concepts of identities and alterities, their interrelations and their relevance in current academic, public, and political discourse and practice. The usability of the concepts of identity, identities and identity politics is highly disputed, but it nevertheless functions as an important term for the self-definition, articulation and emancipation of individuals and groups. The concept of "identity" has been much-criticized for its presumed tendency to essentialism, where identity is primordial, given and determinate, as well as for its alleged positing of the subject as a complete, centered, being in complete control of his or her actions.
In recent years, identity has ceased to be an individual, internal term for subjectivity, but has evolved into a collective term with an inextricable link to alterity, making it a highly useful tool for political and historical analyses. Identities are continually re-constructed, re-invented and re-interpreted in the light of political developments (such as decolonisation), in the light of interactions with the actual, external other (intersubjectivity), and in the light of our position in a postmodern discourse.
We want to approach the concepts of identity and alterity from three different angles:

• Intersubjectivity
• Postmodernism
