Sažetak
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley analyzes the concept of identity at, at least, three levels. At the very first one the core things are being postulated, which enable the process of identification – and that is the level of philosophy of identity. At the second level, elements which garantee individual integrity are being postulated – and that is the level of psychology of identity. Finally, at the third level we postulate the historical frame in which the individual integrity is being realised – and that is the level of the politics of identity. In this paper the analysis and interpretation of the identity categories is a starting point for a discussion about contemporary understanding and consequential conceptualisation of identity. In this manner we show that the identity politics is above other levels of identification, wheras the historical frame is reduced finally onto the manipulative space of selfsurvival.
