LUCCA, Juan. Identidad: aristas de análisis para la moderna ciencia política. Revista SAAP [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.2. ISSN 1853-1970.

The notion of identity occupies the center of an extensive debate within the social context and within the social sciences. In contrast, political science has not appealed to this notion as an analytical category, which is why this essay seeks to fill this gap. We explore, first, the different lines of this debate and, second, the diverse approaches on identities in the other disciplines, especially in its treatment of Latin America, to assess, at the end, its usefulness for the purposes of carrying out any kind of study with a political perspective focusing on identities.

Keywords : Identity; Political science; Latin America; Constructivism; Social sciences.
