Synopsis: Contemporary Cultural Tools for Identities in the Making asks how cultural and artistic practices constitute a central tool for the expression and recognition of individual and collective identities, and how shared creative efforts shape alternative lexical and symbolic languages. Gathering both theoretical discussion and praxis, chapters explore the strong potential of artistic and cultural action and production in the delineation and expression, but also questioning, of identities and the definition of new ones in the making. From literature and documentary to architecture and visual arts, the transmedial analysis centres the expression of stories that demonstrate how creative practices are significant tools to cross domains of belonging and breaking traditional boundaries.This comprehensive and interdisciplinary volume will appeal to a broad audience of postgraduate students, researchers, and scholars in cultural studies, media and visual arts, creative and cultural industries, queer studies, postcolonial and migration studies, literary studies, architecture, and sociology.
