“…The traditional axes of identity used in intersectionality are gender and race (Crenshaw, 1991), to which social class and ethnicity have often been added. Identity formation is not based on each of these factors being independent of the other: they interrelate and intersect to create multiple forms of oppression and discrimination (Ritzer, 2007(Ritzer, [2003). The literature on intersectionality has informed our study by directing our attention to multiple, intersecting levels of place identifications: we assumed that they are structured in part by dimensions of nationality and regionalism, as well as Europeanisation.…”

The article analyses how young people in Croatia conceptualise their identities in terms of "place identifications", a type of social identification that captures membership of a group of people who are defined by their location. It is based on focus group discussions conducted with 68 elementary and secondary school students aged between 11 and 17 in three urban localities in Croatia: Rijeka, Zagreb and Zadar. The concepts guiding the analysis included place identifications, the civic and cultural components of national identity and intersectionality. The study found that students displayed a strong identification with the region they are from through a discourse of stereotypes along the coastal-inland, rural-urban and north-south distinctions. National cultural identities and liminal European-Balkan identities were equally strong providing interesting examples of inclusion and othering. The young people showed a sense of aspiring to be European, of feeling almost European, of being not-quite-yet European, of being "Balkan". There was a common sense of the Balkan-European divide being a line that stood very slightly to the north-west of wherever the students happened to be: there was Europe, generally beckoning -but they were on a threshold and still leaning towards the Balkan side, described as impolite, quarrelsome, underdeveloped and littered. The study suggests complex and kaleidoscopic identity constructions of young people in Croatia in which different and even opposed elements do not exclude each other but rather coexist in various ways.

“…Leadbeater (1997) argues that social entrepreneurs need to lead the way with schemes for self-help, particularly by promoting local, national and international twinning arrangements between projects to share ideas, contacts and staff. For liberal feminists, the optimum level of gender arrangement is one that facilitates the individuals to adopt the life style that suits him or her and also accepted or respected (Ritzer, 2001) by the society at large. However, liberal feminists are not in favor of structural change to a great extent.…”

“…Vistas sus características, y siguiendo a Lankshear y Knobel (2008), consideramos un meme en Internet como un concepto aplicado, y de pretensiones más modes-tas que su original "que describe las rápidas asunción y difusión de una determinada idea presentada como texto escrito, imagen, "cambio lingüístico" o cualquier otra unidad de material cultural" Pero no faltan tampoco las aproximaciones críticas que como la Teoría crítica sobre la co-creación (Ritzer, 2006) ponen de relieve aspectos críticos tales como a quién pertenecen los datos que compartimos en la "nube", quién los explota y se beneficia de ellos, etc. Posturas que ponen de relieve el carácter indeterminado de los datos si carecen de un sentido que los vectoralice: "Para que la información deje de ser solo un conjunto de datos organizados (una granja de datos) y se convierta en conocimiento, es preciso el desarrollo y la actualización de estrategias criticas en los navegantes: selección, procesamiento, análisis, reflexión, reconstrucción, etc.…”
