LECTURE ABSTRACT
My talk is an attempt to define the identity of Odessa in the late Imperial
period, and its impact on the multiple identities of its citizens. It is
based on a research project for writing a book on Odessa, its ethnic
diversity and how its inhabitants shared the spaces of the city and shaped
their relationships. It refers to a historical period during which the
Empire by failing to integrate ethnic minorities transformed their
identities from ethno-religious to national/nationalistic. I propose types
of identities, such as the compound/aggregate, the univocal/mutually
exclusive and I also observe new, hybrid identities such as the political
identity.
