THE CONCEPT OF IDENTITY AS AN INTERDISCIPLINARY PHENOMENON: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS AND LITERARY REPRESENTATION
Keywords:
Identity, principle of conscious personal integrity, multiple identitiesAbstract
The concept of identity, as a central category in contemporary psychology, sociology, philosophy, and literary studies, constitutes a multilayered phenomenon that demands comprehensive interdisciplinary analysis. This article examines three fundamental principles of identity: the principle of conscious personal integrity (E. Erikson), the principle of multiple identities (H. Tajfel, J. Turner), and the principle of social constructivism (P. Berger, T. Luckmann). Particular attention is devoted to the literary representation of the identity concept in the works of N. Scott Momaday and T. Kaipbergenov.
