Identität im Zeitalter des Chamäleons

Is identity in fact just a fiction? Is it possible to live in a society of ever more complex variations and remain an individual and autonomous person? Everyone talks about the split personalities of modern times, but doesn´t variety also represent an immense chance for further personal development?

In this volume Eric Lippmann explains to us the five pillars of identity: relationships, work, body, possession, meaning. These are the core elements of our lives corresponding to the fragments of our self. The clear chameleon paradox of adaptation and autonomy are underpinned with examples from Woody Allen´s film Zelig.
