About this listen
Welcome to Critical Culture!
Today's episode examines both identity politics and the phenomenon of politics as a form of identity.
In the well-known concept of identity politics, political or social activity is undertaken by or on behalf of a group sharing a particular identity (such as ethnicity, race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or disability), but also examines how individuals anchor their own identities within the political landscape.
The discussion highlights how personal experiences and group affiliations shape political interests and how, in turn, politics can influence one's sense of self. It further explores the potential for identity politics to foster both solidarity and division, and how it can be utilized as a tool for political mobilization and social change.
