Annotation

The relevance of the study is determined by the need for social and humanitarian knowledge to track the process of continuous transformation of the identity of a modern person. The purpose of the study is to identify the essence, content and factors of identity transformation in the modern world. The interdisciplinary status of the object — identity — determines the need to refer to the materials of modern natural and social-humanitarian studies and conceptual philosophical ideas. Methodologically significant perspectives are socio-philosophical and socio-psychological. The theoretical analysis of sources is based on the general principles of dialectics. The main result of the study is a comparison and description of identity models — classical and modern, — which are opposite in their characteristics. Changes in the concept of identity associated with a shift from cognitive to connotative and affective aspects are analyzed. The dialectical mutual influence of the transformation of social reality, new attitudes of rationality and the content of the concept of identity itself is also traced. The main conclusions of the study are as follows. The change in the concept of identity is influenced by the transformation of rationality, changes in the way of thinking and understanding of modern man about himself and his place in the world, changes in the technologies of social influence taking into account the latest research in the field of neurosciences and objective changes in social reality under the influence of virtualization. These changes lead to the leadership of psychology as a science and social practice, which today provides an answer to the trend of increasing individualization, which, against the background of the loss of external supports, leads to the trauma of identity. Psychological practices are becoming technologies for the continuous process of reconstructing the identity of a modern person. These practices are based on a new concept of identity as polyidentity, continuously in the process of reassembly, the starting point of which is trauma, and the supporting framework is a psychological/psychiatric diagnosis.
