| Abstract | In the context of accelerating global change, identity has emerged as a central theme in understanding social transformation. This article explores the dynamic interplay between social transformation and identity formation in contemporary societies. Drawing on interdisciplinary theories from sociology, anthropology, and cultural studies, the study examines how forces such as globalization, digital technology, migration, and urbanization disrupt traditional identity structures and give rise to hybrid, fluid, and contested forms of identity. The analysis identifies key drivers of change—transnationalism, algorithmic culture, and demographic shifts—while also addressing the dual nature of identity politics as both a force for empowerment and a source of division. Through case studies on racial movements, gender identity debates, and religious struggles, the article illustrates the socio-political stakes of identity negotiation. It further considers how individuals and communities develop resilient strategies, and how education, the arts, and inclusive institutions can mediate identity conflicts and foster belonging. Ultimately, the article argues for a reflexive and inclusive approach to identity in order to navigate the complexities of pluralistic and rapidly evolving societies. |
