Individual and collective human identities in transition

Human identities, both individual and collective, serve as the narrative framework through which individuals envision an ideal life. Rather than discussing themselves in abstract terms, humans articulate their identities within specific contexts, shaped by social, urban, architectural, cultural, tribal, and religious affiliations. These affiliations play a pivotal role in either shaping or dismantling human identities, and it appears that these organizational structures are undergoing a period of transition.

These transitions are multifaceted, influenced by factors such as environmental changes, prompting some communities to embrace new lifestyles, while others resist such transformations. Consequently, this dynamic gives rise to the emergence of novel forms of local, regional, and urban solidarity, alongside the potential for new manifestations of violence and exclusion. The evolving nature of these organizational frameworks reflects the complex interplay between adaptation and resistance within the ever-changing landscape of human identity.
