Global transformations in the nature of social interactions are deeply inscribed in the ‘Self’, which requires significant self-restructuring of individual lives. Postmodern realities have radically changed the established concepts of identity for individuals today possess a wider range of possibilities to determine one’s identity than before. The contemporary reality is fluid, fast-moving and flexible, thus, it is no longer possible to believe in an unchanging and stable identities - they are considered to be multiple, and increasingly fragile and fragmented, to come not from the single source, but to be (re)constructed from a variety of overlapping and sometimes contradictory discourses, practices and positions. In the XXI century, the constant desire to upgrade oneself inevitably becomes a fundamental trend of the contemporary life, that is why, in the situation of the recognized absence of any sustainable worldview, identity must be highly adaptive: everything that previously was immutable becomes short-living and temporary; social patterns, standards, and models continue to change or completely escape from individuals - we all witness the “eternal” process of self-discovery in the new “shimmering reality”.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья посвящена сложной социальной проблеме - идентичности в условиях «нового индивидуализма». Глобальные трансформации в характере взаимодействия глубоко вписаны в чувство собственного «Я», требуя от индивида значительного уровня реорганизации собственной жизни. Реалии постмодерна коренным образом изменили устоявшие концепции идентичности. Индивид стал обладать более широким выбором возможностей определения своей идентичности. В соответствии с текучей, быстродвижущейся, гибкой окружающей реальностью невозможно придерживаться взгляда, что фиксируема неизменная сущность и постоянство идентичности. Идентичности никогда не являются едиными, и в современности возрастает их фрагментированность и хрупкость. Они не происходят из единого источника, а многообразно конструируются из различных пересекающихся и подчас противоположных дискурсов, практик и позиций. В XXI в. постоянное желание обновления себя поневоле становится основополагающим трендом современной жизни. В отсутствие устойчивого взгляда на мир идентичность должна быть высоко адаптивной. Незыблемое ранее стало короткоживущим, временным; а образцы, нормы, модели продолжают меняться или полностью ускользают от индивидов. Происходит «вечный» процесс собственного переоткрытия в «мерцающей реальности» нового бытия.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>identity</kwd><kwd>models of identity</kwd><kwd>individualism</kwd><kwd>postmodern</kwd><kwd>an individual</kwd><kwd>consumption</kwd><kwd>consumerism</kwd><kwd>post-traditionalism</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>идентичность</kwd><kwd>концепции идентичности</kwd><kwd>индивидуализм</kwd><kwd>постмодерн</kwd><kwd>индивид</kwd><kwd>потребление</kwd><kwd>консюмеризм</kwd><kwd>посттрадиционализм</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bauman Z.
