{"product_id":"identity-identity-is-what-somebody-is-made-out-to-be","title":"IDENTITY : Identity is what somebody is made out to be","description":"\u003cp\u003eIDENTITYIdentity is what somebody is made out to be, socially, racially, culturally, nationally etc., by the outside world. In brief, it is how the world does or chooses to know an individual human being. It, therefore, is a construction, with identity politics as its by-product. Ironically, most humans would find themselves strangers if they were to accept the identity constructed for them. When an entire lifetime falls short for one to know oneself, how can one know the other, let alone give it a name? Thus, identity is an impossibility.Yet, we all yearn to know and let the world know who we are. In our quest for ourselves, we discover opposites cohabiting rather than confronting. At times, we are not what we think we are. We love what we hate and hate what we love. And so on. Who we are continually flows into what we become. It is this fluidity that makes all illogicality, implausibility about identity pale into nothingness when we colour them into painting or poetry. And they morph into music..The poems in the volume are an attempt towards portraying the puzzle that identity is rather than make sense of it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"notionpress.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45871492890822,"sku":"DADAXB0BNL7C677","price":3.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0695\/9389\/1014\/files\/61pNpe1Em6L.jpg?v=1779477047","url":"https:\/\/ergodemedia.com\/products\/identity-identity-is-what-somebody-is-made-out-to-be","provider":"Ergodemedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
