Identitarianism
[edit]Identitarianism refers to social and political practice that defines people primarily based on social identities like race, gender, class, and religion. It can be considered an application of essentialism, such as in race-essentialism, or ethnic nationalism in the case of ethnicity and nationality.
Critics argue it is an example of tribalism and in-group out-group biases that is incompatible with humanism. They argue identitarianism overlooks and devalues individual difference, denying human agency.
Commentary
[edit]Identitarianism is often linked to identity politics, where shared identity is used to mobilize social and political action, particularly in contexts of inequality or injustice. Nancy Fraser critiques a form of "progressive neoliberalism" where identitarian ideals of diversity and empowerment are used to obscure economic inequalities.
Identitarian movements often focus on experiences of injustice and demand recognition and self-determination for marginalized groups.[8][2][6] However, identitarian frameworks can also create boundaries and potentially exclude those who do not fit within defined group identities.[2]
