THE CONCEPT OF (POST)IDENTITY IN QUEER AND MIGRATION STUDIES Learning from Kira Kosnick (original) (raw)

The paper discusses the impact of Kira Kosnick's work on understanding cultural identity in the context of queer and migration studies, particularly through her ethnographic study of the Gayhane party in Berlin. It critiques traditional approaches that reduce identity to fixed categories and emphasizes the importance of social practices and interactions over static identities. The reflections on these concepts advocate for a dynamic understanding of identity and subjectivity that recognizes their fluid and evolving nature.
