Fragmented Identities

Individuals

The process of fragmentation is a key element of POSTMODERN CULTURE

The way we change, develop and fracture our identites dependant on social context links to the concept of postmodernism.

Communities

In a previous society, life was much more connected/local. Now due to the urbanisation and globalisation of the world, new technologies and rise in reproduction. The world is much more fractured, through polarized class divisions etc. We are isolated and alienated now more than ever.

Richard Hoggart says society was once ‘an extremely local life, in which everything is remarkably near‘
