Abstract :

This paper is addressing and reconsidering the concept of identity in sociology and social anthropology, since both of these disciplines are interrelated and connected. By discussing the usefulness of concept in the field of sociology and anthropology, this paper attempts to discuss the problematic of the ‘concept’ and identity in both disciplines. This work is starting to review the unconsciousness of the use of concept and continuing to explore the rise of identity discourse and closing it with the term identity in a globalized world. It will show why we should defend the idea of identity in social sciences and culture.
