Özet
The aim of the present study is to discuss the concept of identity formation in relation to Louis de Bernières’ novel Birds Without Wings. Primarily, this study presents the development of identity theories which investigate the social construction of identity with its impact on self, society and social structures. The postmodern novel Birds Without Wings depicts the stringent issue of identity construction in a period of global crises, when any identity markers are easily removed, changed and, therefore, destabilized as a result of the play of power. The characters of de Bernières’ novel confront the agonizing truth of the fluid and changeable markers of identity revealing that any “certitudes” are easily deconstructed and re-constructed anew as a result of identity politics which deprives one of a stable sense of selfhood.
