Research often focuses on the socio-political dynamics that influence collective identities, including migration, urbanization, and the impact of public policies. - Cultural Narratives:

Trending and Emerging
- Digital Collective Identities:
There is an increasing focus on how digital platforms shape collective identities, particularly through social media activism and digital narratives, reflecting the rise of online communities. - Precarity and Identity:
The theme of precarity—how economic instability affects identity formation—is gaining traction, particularly in relation to housing and social movements. - Intersectionality in Identity Studies:
Emerging research is increasingly addressing intersectionality, examining how various social categories (race, class, gender) intersect to influence identity experiences. - Urban and Rural Identity Dynamics:
A notable trend is the exploration of identities in both urban and rural contexts, particularly how socio-economic changes impact collective identities in these settings. - Migration and Transnational Identities:
The journal is increasingly addressing migration and the formation of transnational identities, highlighting the complexities of belonging in a globalized world.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional National Identities:
Research on traditional national identities appears to be waning, as the journal shifts towards more fluid and hybrid concepts of identity that account for globalization and transnational movements. - Historical Narratives of Conflict:
While historical narratives related to political conflicts were once a central theme, there is less emphasis on these topics, possibly due to a broader interest in contemporary issues and collective actions. - Static Identity Models:
There seems to be a decline in interest in static models of identity that do not consider the dynamic and evolving nature of identities in response to social changes.
