The concept of culture is often raised as a ‘sacral alibi’, as an appellative that describes everything, justifies everything, encompasses everything; for this has resulted in a re-edification of the concept, where this very sacrality turns it into a way of justifying almost any event or process. We wish to move away from this, and walk the broader course of the concept of ‘lifestyles’ to reach the port of identity, understood as the sum of rationalities that result in a way of understanding the world and of understanding themselves by individuals and communities.
Far from ascribing to structural functionalism, we believe that identity is ontologically a mutant phenomenon, where its foundation lies in allowing us to explain the variable and changing from numerous points of view, among them, the contradictions of the self in perpetual modification and the self constituted by the great historical changes. Therefore, we assume identity as the foundation of individuals and communities that allows them the historical transition and subjective survival.
