(Auto)percepcja tożsamości w ujęciu współczesnej młodzieży na podstawie Oblicza Szymona Kołody

The author, by taking into account popular and scientific discourse about “liquid”, “globalized” identity (viewed in the context of various social and family roles), attempts to reconstruct an image of a contemporary teenager’s identity, referring to “The Face”, a 2-minute impression by seventeen year old Szymon Kołoda. On this basis she shows areas of participation of contemporary young people, who balance between two realities: the real and the virtual one. The author supports her reasoning with the concept of hybrid identity by Zygmunt Bauman and the global teenager / culture of diffusion by Zbyszko Melosik. The aim of this article is to make a subjective, socio-psychological interpretation of identity creations present in Szymon Kołoda’s picture, rather than psychological diagnosis of the teenage actor’s “inner integrity”.
