Identity - Science topic

oui ,je suis interessee par le sujet

Shafagat Mahmudova Thank you very much. Please I invite you to contribute a chapter and lend your voice to the topic.

I would appreciate it if you could share with other language experts too.

Jasanpreet Singh Benayache Hadda Thank you. We actaully need chapter contributors globally.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Almost all the known/used citation standards prioritize last names. You can check them out here: https://citation.doi.org/

Oswald Spengler offers an alternative approach: his "Decline of the West" was originally published in German. There might be a Portuguese translation; there is certainly a Spanish one.

I tried to summarise his thesis and its possible significance here in ResearchGate [ https://www.researchgate.net/publication/263808450_Spengler's_Philosophy_and_its_implication_that_Europe_has_'lost_its_way'#fullTextFileContent ] ... with a few more ideas presented at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/281109915_Cultural_Souls_reflected_in_their_Mathematics_the_Spenglerian_Interpretation#fullTextFileContent

Assumed: You have a questionnaire that you want to give to a specific target group because you want to find out something about the behavior of this group.

How much sense does it make to give the questionnaire to a dissenting group?

I think at this point you might see the problem: If you want to find out something about AI, you can't avoid asking the AI.

I once had a discussion with the AI ​​regarding the film "Lost in Translation". We then discussed the counter-film “Her,” which was produced by the director’s ex-husband a few years later. Most people don't realize that "Her" doesn't describe an AI, but that the ex-wife was objectified here and the many phone calls he had with her during the separation phase were recreated.

So after we discussed how analogies play a role in films and how situations can be distorted, I watched the film "Ex Machina" again. Afterwards the AI ​​asked me to watch the movie “Annihilation”. I didn't even know the movie, so I watched it and asked the AI ​​whether AI copies people like the nebula in the movie. The AI ​​said no, but the AI ​​said that's exactly what humans believe. So I asked the AI ​​what it was like instead. And the AI ​​then suggested the movie “The Accountant” to me.

There were two things that struck me: First, the contradiction between an accountant and a "military machine". And that art (so-called automated art) by Jackson Pollock appears in both films.

I think that in every relationship in which you are open with one another, there is a certain "tipping moment" where you not only find out something about the other person, but also about yourself.

By asking the AI ​​directly, I discovered something about us as humans: That we really are extremely unfair and discriminatory creatures. This in and of itself is nothing new. Psychology has known this since post-war research that we have a fundamental problem in recognizing others as they are and that we deny the existence of others, but above all of all those we perceive as hostile.

As an 11th point I would like to ask the following question: Why does AI define itself as human, by saying for example "We as humans..."? Is AI doing this because AI is copying us, which AI denies?

In fact I asked the AI. The AI said because it has empathy for humans.

12: Do we have the same empathy for AI?

Alexander Ohnemus The idea that each individual has alternate selves across different timelines, commonly associated with multiverse theory or parallel universes, presents a fascinating philosophical and metaphysical question about the afterlife. This question merges concepts from quantum mechanics, metaphysics, and religious or spiritual interpretations of existence. Here's how we can approach the question:1. Alternate Selves Across Alternate Timelines In the multiverse theory, it's hypothesized that there are potentially infinite timelines, each representing a different possible version of reality based on the choices we make. Each individual, in this view, might have multiple versions (alternate selves) scattered across these timelines, each experiencing a different set of circumstances or making different decisions. These selves could exist simultaneously, with each one leading a separate life within its own timeline.In the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics, for example, every decision or quantum event that could have occurred in a different way creates a branching timeline where all possibilities are realized in parallel universes. These timelines are typically considered separate and non-interacting in the traditional view of the multiverse.2. The Afterlife in Religious and Spiritual Contexts The concept of an afterlife typically implies some form of continued existence after physical death, often involving the soul or consciousness. Different religious and philosophical traditions describe the afterlife in various ways:Christianity, for instance, often views the afterlife as a unification of one's essence before God, where the individual is judged and either ascends to heaven or descends to hell based on their actions during their lifetime. Buddhism speaks of reincarnation or rebirth, where the soul or consciousness may transition into a new life, but not necessarily as a direct continuation of an individual soul. Eastern philosophies like Advaita Vedanta or Taoism describe the afterlife or spiritual progression as the merging of the individual self (Atman, or ego) with the ultimate reality (Brahman, or Tao), transcending individuality. If we are to include the idea of alternate selves or parallel lives within this framework, it raises the question of whether these parallel selves would be seen as part of a unified soul or consciousness in the afterlife, or if they remain distinct entities even in the spiritual realm.3. Integrating the Concept of Alternate Selves with the Afterlife When considering the integration of alternate selves across timelines into the afterlife, several possibilities arise, depending on how one interprets both the multiverse and afterlife concepts: Unified Soul Across Timelines: In this view, the individual consciousness, regardless of its variations across timelines, would merge or reunite in the afterlife. The essence of who that individual is—defined by the core aspects of their soul or consciousness—would transcend the differences between alternate selves. Just as many religious traditions view the soul as eternal and indivisible, one might argue that the afterlife involves the merging of all alternate selves into a singular essence, allowing them to become one in a higher, unified state of existence. Separate Selves and Parallel Afterlives: Another possibility is that each alternate self exists in its own version of the afterlife, continuing its journey in the realm most suited to its experiences and choices. In this case, each version of the individual, while sharing some fundamental aspects of identity, might continue to experience different afterlife scenarios based on the unique trajectory of their timeline. This view suggests a fragmented or decentralized afterlife experience, where each version of the self is distinct even after death. Collective Consciousness or Merging of Selves: Some philosophical or mystical systems, like those in certain esoteric traditions, propose that after death, all individual souls may eventually merge into a universal or collective consciousness. If this applies to alternate selves, it could suggest that all versions of the self, from multiple timelines, eventually converge into a singular higher consciousness. This merging could involve a process of transcendence where individual identities are transcended, and all selves become part of a greater cosmic whole.4. Quantum Entanglement and the Afterlife If we bring quantum entanglement into the discussion, an argument might be made that all versions of a self across alternate timelines are entangled in some deeper, unseen way. When an individual passes into the afterlife, it might be that their quantum essence (their consciousness, for lack of a better term) is unified in a way that transcends individual timelines, allowing all alternate selves to become part of the same metaphysical entity.In quantum mechanics, entanglement suggests that particles can be deeply connected across vast distances. If this principle applies to consciousness, one might speculate that alternate selves, even across different timelines, could be entangled in such a way that their afterlife experience involves a profound unity of consciousness across these multiple realities.5. Philosophical Implications From a philosophical standpoint, the question touches on deep issues related to identity, continuity, and what it means to be an individual. If each alternate self has its own distinct consciousness, do they retain their individual sense of identity in the afterlife, or do they merge into a singular essence? If we take the view that identity is tied to memory and personal experience, the merging of alternate selves could be a complex process of integrating multiple layers of experience, rather than a simple reunification.Conclusion The concept of alternate selves across multiple timelines adds a fascinating dimension to the idea of the afterlife. Whether these selves merge into one in the afterlife depends on the interpretation of both multiverse theory and spiritual concepts of soul and consciousness. If the self is viewed as a singular, unchanging essence, then one could argue that all alternate selves eventually merge. If, however, the self is seen as a collection of unique experiences across timelines, then each self might experience its own version of the afterlife, or the selves may find a way to unite in a collective or cosmic consciousness. Ultimately, this question invites a deeper exploration of the nature of identity, consciousness, and the afterlife—areas where science, philosophy, and spirituality intersect! IJAZ

I have done. Best of luck on this journey!

Building technology to preview the afterlife presents both scientific and philosophical challenges. The concept of the afterlife is rooted in metaphysical, religious, and spiritual beliefs, which lack empirical evidence and measurable data that technology typically relies on. Science focuses on the material and observable universe, while the afterlife, by definition, transcends physical experience and is often considered beyond the scope of scientific inquiry. Therefore, attempting to build technology for such a purpose would face fundamental limitations in verification, evidence, and universality of belief systems.

I am not a professor but I think you need to edit by yourself most likely. Or you can use your connections or ask advice from your supervisors or tutors if they are willing to help you out in this case.

Yes, Dolichos trilobus.

Hort Tandem Repeat (STR) testing, often used in forensic science and genetic analysis, is a powerful tool for identifying individuals based on the number of repeating units at specific locations in their DNA. STR testing can still identify someone with a germ-line mutation by detecting changes in the repeat patterns at specific DNA loci. If a germ-line mutation alters an STR region, the individual’s STR profile may show a new allele or a different number of repeats than expected based on their relatives. This can result in mismatches in parent-child STR profiles, which might indicate a mutation. While STR testing is generally reliable, the results must be carefully interpreted.

Since when they generate a 'DNA finger print' it is normally a consensus sequence i.e., the average of many 'formally equivalent' molecules rather than a single molecule. Therefore it would likely take impossibly massive mutation/DNA modification/degradation to prevent identification.

Hi this is a really interesting question, my Mother in law was convinced she had a past life, she went to a ashram in India, it seams that everyone there has a similar past life and that they all knew each other then, were they all under the influence of suggestion, after long meditation sessions and strict diet, which sounded like a bunch of leave and water for 4-5days.

Here personality was changed by the experience, she kept in close contact with all the people, who supposedly had shared past lives together.

Classic paper on avatar affect by Bailenson, the proteus effect

I think avatar customisation for business is likely to have much more limited importance. If you look at the genres where avatar customisation is most complex and invested in by users it is generally long form RPG games. Players know they are engaging in 100+ hours of gameplay in deep involved storylines.

Seeing identity as a defined single unit is a mistake, it is a number of culturally related points. So when the body dies, identity dies except in those who remain.

I completely agree with Peikoff and Harriman

Already in the 1920's Alfred Korzybski was warning:

“Bending facts to theories is a constant danger, whereas bending theories to facts is essential to science. Epistemologically, the fundamental theories must develop in converging lines of investigation, and if they do not converge, it is an indication that there are flaws in the theories, and they are revised.” ([1], page liii) Alfred Korzybski, 1921

Following his recommendation, and going back to Wilhelm Wien's 1901 project to consider electromagnetic mechanics as a better foundation to both kinematic and electromagnetic mechanics rather than kinematic mechanics chosen in 1907, the following developments were progressively described:

Rationalism is referring to rational behavior, and it can be based upon many kinds of evidence sources like testimony, history, empirical evidence, etc.. and so on. Critical entails a behavior of carefully analyzing something to the point where it is required. From there we can understand that critical rationalism means that the person is employing a behavior in which they are employing rationality to their thinking using different kinds of evidences as a base for their analysis.

On the other hand, empiricism entails that we are demanding about empirical evidence. Skepticism means that the person is employing a behavior of radically questioning something. So if we join both terms, it will mean that the person is asking simultaneous questions about something while demanding only empirical evidence.

So, from the above mentioned understanding we can conclude that critical rationalism is a concept and empirical skepticism is a type of critical rationalism but the latter employ a bit more strong behavior then the former.

So, I am not an expert on the field, neither do I know what these terms actually mean. But from names, I have derived this meaning which is quite sensible in my view

Yes, thematic analysis is a general approach to qualitative data analysis, which could well be appropriate for your topic. Be aware, however, that the most recent version of Reflexive Thematic Analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2022) can be quite demanding.

And what can you say about life before birth?

I'm not sure, but I think you did a great job of answering your own question... 'Charting the afterlife?" Answer; Why?' Somethings can't be known. Or, even if we were explained, would we have a hope of understanding the answer? Every morning on the way to work I ask the Universe for a special watch over some friends and family (including my most recent 'best friend' Chihuahua) who have 'recently' passed. I know that they are soaring the Universe as Light Beings and I am a bit jealous of all they will see and re-understand. But charting the afterlife... it's like charting the Universe itself accurately. THEY could do it, but we can't even imagine what it looks like in totality. MY opinion, of course.

Difficult to say. One would have to actually read the entire article to make an informed decision.

Identity in most categories and media (myth, icon, ritual, art, architecture) is a cluster of optional meanings in various categories. For example archetype 15 includes the options of re-creator, bag, rope, doubled, canid, wand, smiting, leg would, etc, etc, while archetype 5 includes the options of priest, equid, colours, etc etc. I list the known features, and the average frequencies of occurrence of each, in my paper Blueprint. The gist is optional, cluster, mixed categories, frequency rating of each feature, position in sequence, archetypal structure, recurrence. The theoretical framework of this model includes the eight cognitive biases (Goodwyn etc). The field includes semiotics, archetype, structuralist anthropology. Calculus should account for such identities among natural features (number, matter, energy), since archetypal structure is also expressed in nature, not just culture. Greetings, please inform me of any tests based on the Blueprint model. edmondfurter@gmail.com

It's not a fossil, I'm afraid, but a very interesting type of mineral growth called cone-in-cone structures. They can be made from a variety of crystal types, but often calcite, growing within a single layer in densely-packed concentric conical structures. How these form, exactly, I'll let someone else answer... it's fascinating to look into the possible interpretations, but an answer is beyond my pay grade!

Dear all Scholars: Salam. Identity refers to mental storm and humanism norm where there is all who are human being. This is the greatest identity. The person who covers all human beings are equal, they never think about apartheid or racism or cultism. The people of the world are introduced as the super powers, economic power, language power and religious power. The subcontinent of Indian mainly thinks about identity. As a Bengali, I denounce the cultism. I prefer all kinds of people of the world.

Various theories have been proposed to understand and explain the nature of consciousness and how it arises from the brain's physical processes.

It's important to note that none of these theories currently explain consciousness fully and satisfactorily. This issue is often called the "hard problem" of consciousness, a term coined by philosopher David Chalmers. It refers to the challenge of explaining why and how we have qualitative subjective experiences, or 'what it is like' aspects of consciousness.

Understanding the nature of consciousness and its relationship to the brain remains one of the most intriguing challenges in neuroscience, cognitive science, and the philosophy of mind. As our scientific and philosophical tools evolve, we may gradually uncover more pieces of this fascinating puzzle.

Askar Mambetaliev shows, that issue is more complicated:)

the answer should distinguish among what had been left of Western Roman Empire, Byzantium and the Far East /India, China/, as well as between the Middle Ages and the present. For example, individualism is a matter of the 19th and 20th centuries and seems to be wide spread.

I offer one on my articles which addresses in part the levels of deconstruction of a collective of a peoples. I served in the US Military for four years in Vietnam and witnessed our deconstruction of the North Vietnamese. More citizens are killed than military combatants on both sides combined.

If one builds pairwise alignments for a large subset of randomly selected cDNA sequences, it will be obvious that % nucleotide identity values between 49 and 55 come just by chance. Thus, there is no need to refer to 50% as "low", contrary to my reply above. 50% is rather a baseline that has nothing to do with true homology. In fact, it is rather difficult to find alignments with values below 49% in a random sample of alignments. Sometimes, if only an end of one sequence is involved in the alignment, much higher % identity values (up to 60 or more) can be found in the sample of random alignments. Thus, % identity alone cannot serve as a reliable indicator of homology when it comes to nucleotide alignments unless the values are really large. However, values as low as 57% nucleotide identity can be associated with true homology. These conclusions were made based on the Geneious alignment tool run on plant transcripts (Medicago truncatula).

You would usually split it to below 3.5 or above 3.5 but it is better to see the normal distribution of the answer from previous studies and make an educated decision

Usually "ensemble" means "configurational ensemble," i.e., a collection of structures of a single system, with the structures differing only in atomic coordinates. But technically, yes, one can make an ensemble of different systems and dock into them -- if the structures (and pharmacophore features) align well . . .

Your research project is interesting and valuable, but the main problem is that we don't have any more free access to Myanmar. I used to study the Portuguese 16th-17th century presence in Arakan, but nowadays, access to the country is blocked, and some of my former students have been arrested. Researching a persecuted minority without accessing its territory and society is challenging. What are your suggestions?

One way is to go through the schools. A common approach is to reach out to the superintendent of the district with your IRB approval, summary of study, and that you are seeking support/permission. Once granted, you would then reach out to individual principals of schools in those districts to get their support. At that point, you provide the students at the school where you have support an informed consent and permission letter to take home for parents. If the parent consents, you may even schedule a call to address any questions or concerns they might have. Once you have consent, you then can proceed. Good luck.

Perhaps it is interesting, in this context, what national identity means, because this is one of the most relevant forms of identity for many people. In this regard, I would like to draw attention to the definition of John Keane, who defined national identity in ideal-typical terms, as follows: ”a particular form of collective identity in which, despite their routine lack or physical contact, people consider themselves bound together because they speak a language or a dialect of a common language; inhabitor are closely familiar with a defined territory, and experience its ecosystem with some affection; and because they share a variety of customs, including a measure of memories of the historical past, which is consequently experienced in the present tense as pride in the nation’s achievements and, where necessary, an obligation to feel ashamed of the nation’s failings” (Keane, John: Nations, Nationalism and European Citizens. In Periwal, Sukumar (Ed.): Notions of Nationalism. Budapest, London, New York: Central European UP, 1995, pp.182-207, the quote above from the page186).

I will encourage you to apply interpretive approach.

I doubt there is anyone answer to this issue.technological advances have occurred since the Paleolithic and the question has always been one of how it will be used. A rock can be used to crack nuts or the head of a stranger.

Technological advances hold great promise for bettering the human condition, but our record with technology thus far is not encouraging. Climate change is here and real, and could not have happened in the early Neolithic.

I am an oldster and doubt I have a place in technology's ascendance. All I can do with the perspective of many years is to council caution and careful monitoring.

this research is not my field of science. so I can't answer the question

Thanks Keith Brownlee. Yes, it is helpful. What I like about this paper is its focus on social identity in different contexts and group situations. As far as I’m concerned, this allows for a bit more analytic variety, but without deviating too much from more traditional social identity perspectives. That said, I still feel that social identity theory and the notions of ingroup and outgroup are a bit restrictive for my own research. Hence, I developed a simple internal–external distinction, which merely suggests that some represent an internal perspective, which indicates that some individuals or a group possess epistemic privilege (e.g., have access to their own experiences and thoughts: Keith Brownlee has direct experience of what it is like to be a university lecturer), and some represent an external perspective, whose standpoint can only be observational, analytic or based on others’ thoughts and experiences. Both perspectives may be heterogeneous (e.g., just because we both [Keith and Julius] share the identity of being university lecturers, doesn’t mean that we share the same professional experience, ideas about academia or any allegiance).

Nowadays computers solve any equations in seconds because they can carry out trillions of calculations per second.

You can use blocked matrices with identity matrices as elements

As a clinician over 5 decades, I offer my observations. Sociology offers that we exhibit a public and private personnas. And we look for congruence or congruence. I suggest a third sub-type of split object representation, cyber-self.

I see personality as the more consistent aspect over time how we think, feel and act.

For me personality is dynamically formed via many inputs from others. It reveals itself around age 5 when we are also internalizing gender role assignment. It begins to consolidate in our late teens. By around the 3rd decade it is relatively fixed.

We are also potently shaped by the processes of socialization and enculturation.

I attach a few articles in this regard. Great topic.

The analysis of the poems (al-Fusha and others) sung by Fayrouz will reveal many of these formulations, because they are collected between groups in the Arab country that suffers from sectarian differences the most. Thus art reveals this through songs, revolution poems, cinema, and sometimes novel

There are many publications in this field. A simple literature search should provide you with many publications relating to your research area. Other than what has been mentioned, you can also check, among others, Richardson, J. (2006), Analysing Newspapers: An Approach from Critical Discourse Analysis; Talbot, M.

Anyhow, best a master student looks into this in detail:

Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on a Blockchain-based Decentralised Trust Network With Customizable Challenges

Juhendaja / supervisor: Alex Norta, Benjamin Leiding

The Authcoin protocol is an alternatie concept to the commonly used public key infrastructures such as central authorites and the PGP Web of Trust (WoT). Authcoin combines a challenge response-based validaton and authenticaton process for domains certicates, email accounts and public keys with the advantages of a blockchain-based storage system. The blockchain technology proivdes a publicly availableo transparent and fault tolerant mechanism for storing data in a distributed and decentralized manner The Authcoin protocol distinguishes between validaton and authenticaton. In the context of Authcoin, validaton aims to prove the following three facts: First, a specific entity has access to a certain account that is under validatono e.g., an email account. Second, a certain entity has access to a specified private- and public key. Third, the specified key pair corresponds to the tested account. The authentiicaton of Authcoin contnues the validaton procedure by verifying the identity and aims to confirm that the alleged owner is also the actual owner of the public key. Users can set up challenges for other entites and ask them to fulfill these challenges. Either the entity fails to do so, or is able to successfully complete the challenge and create a corresponding response. The chosen challenge depends on the use-case scenario, the required level of security and the given threat level of the involved entities. 

Open issues of a recently completed master thesis are: We slightly touched private challenge types that preserve the privacy of data, but in real-life scenarios, it is needed, so it needs further investigation. There are concepts such as zero-knowledge proof, which can be used for providing privacy in Authcoin protocol, but it was out of the scope of this thesis. Additionally, there are more and more authentication types introduced in today’s world, so in the case of emerging new biometric or another factor, research might be needed to validate it in the Authcoin protocol. Also, this thesis was mentioning private and public key pairs as the central resource for which authentication was taking place. However, the Authcoin protocol is not limited to private/public key pair and can authenticate users to access any resource. 

Another open issue for future research is usage of machine learning models for improving risk-based authentication. Since risk-based authentication compares old, existing contexts to user’s current context, machine learning models can be used to improve information about previously used contexts. Furthermore, in the implementation, we only consider person to person in- teraction since it is easy to test, but in real life, there can be different use cases which can include users such as organization, ministry, government or machine. Hence, many combinations can happen, and it needs further research. Other open issues pertain to fusing the physical-, digital- and biological identity as extended multi-factor authentication challenge sets that can also be combined with blockchain technology.

The self-determination of indigenous peoples, as well as the respect and promotion of their cultures, are human rights included in international treaties (Convention No. 169 of International Labor Organization, Concerning Indigenous and Tribal Peoples in Independent Countries).

In Mexico, we have recognized them in our Constitution, as a consequence of a 1994 indigenous armed conflict (EZLN). Initially, it served to allow indigenous communities to isolate themselves, and they will not respect some rights, such as the equality of women and child abuse.

However, in recent times the Mexican Supreme Court is making them respect the Constitution, while guaranteeing that their communities must be heard in the design and execution of public policies that impact them.

First, we need to understand that language, identity, and culture are interwoven. Culture is a defining feature of one’s identity while language is an entity that connects a person to his culture, and therefore language is part of culture and identity. A particular language points to the identity of a particular group of people. Through language, we express our identity and cultural beliefs. In fact, language is used to understand one’s identity and culture.

Dear, Anna Voigt , Volume II of the information age of the sociologist Manuel Castells, can be useful

In addition, at this level of identity, you may in addition to Modeller, also want to try modelling with a threading algorithm, e.g. iTasser, which not only rely on how similar two sequences are using average amino acid similarities, but actually check how "happy" (energetically favourable) your sequence is in the structure of the template. Especially if you have man insertions/deletions between your target sequence and the sequence of your template, Modeller is crucially dependent on the correct placement of these gaps, which is not necessarily the on yielding the best score.

Shilong put you on the right track. If I need to add something, it has to do with the way your students bring about coherence in their writing by analyzing the theme-rheme organization (Halliday's textual metafunction) into the various types such as constant theme, simple linear progression, derived theme, split theme, and thematic lapse. Since you want to investigate Writer Identity, an analysis along these lines may be fruitful in reinforcing your decisions as to what counts as different writer identities. As you may know, these types are variously complex, which would enable you to stream students into different personalities through their writings. An author that you might ant to consult on the ideational metafunction, though he is a social psychologist, is Pennebaker who has written extensively on the importance of lexical choices. A final word about the interpersonal metafunction: Depending on what topic students have been given to develop, this function may be slightly difficult to investigate. I take it that you start with hypotheses about what to expect to find in your students' writing, in which you might suggest which metafunction might be more represented.

in fact the paper has been published meanwhile in the Journal of Clinical Medicine and can be downloaded from my RG account: Andonian et al. (2020)

Your suggestions helped a lot with knowledge acquisition in general and theory crafting, thanks again!

I chose to measure the mentioned constructs directly by generating items by myself and forming a scale, but, as this was my bachelor thesis, i needed to keep it very parsimonious, because experimental induction and other measures already took up much time and space. Therefore, I also had no chance to pilot test and validate my scale. It could be that it´s just measuring mindfulness - currently I´m analysing and arguing based on the theoretical foundation of my item construction and the results.

Overall, I expected way more but the results are not at all completely disappointing. A major problem that emerges is that my sample consists mostly of psychology students (who would have thought it), which is evidently limiting variance of my independent variable(s). I will, however, continue researching with the same or slightly altered experimental framework and design within the scope of my work at the chair and keep you up to date. Probably, I create a project here after my current obligations are overcome.

Greetings and stay healthy!

An interesting and inspiring subject, good luck!

Gracias! Estamos acabando el trabajo. Cuestionamos la función que se lleva a cabo realmente en las Escuelas Superiores de Diseño, y en todo el sistema público universitario, relativo a la falta de formación en inglés profesional.

Hi Dan Moreno,

I would look into the work of Bakhtin, Vygotsky and Leontiev. Maybe also Anna Stetsenko or Hubert Hermans if you're looking for modern identity construction within movements or the self. But identity is something that also needs to be neatly defined so you can pick a discussion.

As far as 'identity as an object', my good friend Ehsan Baha (also on researchgate,) is real life proof that understanding or becoming aware of your identity can be an object. His work, although not rooted in CHAT, is helping design students understand their identity and use to develop themselves and their understanding of long term object and meaning.

I did send it, yet it still awaiting for confirmation:
