دور الثقافة في بناء هوية المجتمعات : بين ضرورات التحفظ و دواعي الانفتاح

Abstract EN

Culture expresses the totality of ideas, values, customs, nature of relationships, and even emotional bonds between members of a particular human group.

In this sense, culture is an acquired and not an innate existence in the individual, which makes it subject to change by gaining new values and knowledge and relinquishing others according to the general atmosphere reflected by the nature of the structure Social and economic aspects of society, on the one hand, and according to the degree of the individual's relationship with the community, its orientations and aspirations, and its impact on its environment on the other.

On the other hand, identity is also a normative social compound acquired, capable of growth, development and change based on a set of determinants and in certain temporal and spatial contexts.

Identity is a sentimental feeling that determines the individual's connection to his country, society and community through influential cultural determinants.

In light of this convergence between the two concepts, we examine in this paper the relationship between identity and culture and the role of the latter in building the first.
