Abstract

Contemporary world values identities in a very strange manner. Everywhere, every single human being as well as every human group want its identity to be recognized and positively valued. Nonetheless, the author shows that the very concept of identity, whether though as sameness or as ipseity is by definition violent. In order to explain this violence, he analyses the new identities promoted within the fields of "fat studies" and "disability studies" to illustrate that identity is, always already, a king of prison.
