Postmodernism and the Role of Identity: Why the Individual No Longer Exists. This paper will address the difficulties inherent in defining and explaining an identity in relation to postmodern definitions. It is hoped that through using postmodern theory that the loose comprehension of an identity will be better clarified, as well as will provide a better understanding of the modern cognitions of "identity", both personal and broad in nature. This paper shall accomplish this goal in three steps. First, it shall define the term of "identity" as it will be used in this paper. Second, it shall apply this term to personal identities. Third, the definition of an identity will be applied to more broad social situations. All of these steps shall rely heavily on the postmodern theory as a foundation for references. 10 pgs. 8 f/c. 5b.
