O společenských vědách bez identity

Abstract

This essay aims to discuss the concept of identity in critical perspective and in a wider context of the demarcation problem in social science. Following the famous paper Beyond "Identity" (Brubaker, Cooper: 2000) I submit the question whether the "identity" is still usefull and suited as an analytical tool in social science. I pay attention to the origin of the concept of identity and I compare its essentialist, constructivist and deconstructivist approaches that represent various attitudes to social reality, to knowledge (episteme/doxa) and to relation between science and nonscience. I reflect critically all these three approaches and I argue for replacement of the concept of identity but also for more (auto)critical perception in respect of used research tools and of researchers themselves.
