This research group will be dedicated to the study of collective identities of nation, gender, class and race in a comparative and transnational perspective in the contemporary era (19th to 21st centuries). These areas will be approached from an intersectional perspective, paying attention to the interactions and multiple nature of collective identities. The group proposes to focus the study of collective identities from an interdisciplinary perspective with special attention to the social and cultural history of collective identities. This entails the study of political cultures, social movements, popular and mass culture, written culture and visual culture. The spatial framework of the group encompasses Europe, Americas and Africa.
