SPACES OF IDENTITY 

Starting from the presupposition that introducing the notion of discursive identity in the context of scientific inquiry of art produces crucial changes in understanding the processes of individuation in the creative process of performing arts, interdisciplinary project we proposed serves as the first systematic investigation of that kind meant to be applicable in the field of performing arts. The project includes scientific, theoretical, theoretical-performing and practical-performing exploration of individuation processes on the relational space of culture along with research results gained from identity theories.

Accepting the notion of discourse as intersubjectively organized patterns of functioning whose inner structure is being considered as a topic of discursive anthropology as multi-aspect anthropology of the pluralities of human identities that constitute him as a discursive being – the project examines the dynamics of exchange on the relational space of culture with special emphasis on processes of individuation in the creative process of performing arts.
