| Title | Post-Soviet Kaliningraders and Place Identity - an Autoethnographic Approach |
| Summary | This thesis explores how young Kaliningraders navigate their own identities in relation to the mixed heritage of the city they inhabit. Such an exploration, however, is constructed through my own perceptions, and as such autoethnography is used to ensure that the fallacy of the divide between researcher and research is not maintained. The work places the identities of young Kaliningraders within a larger conversation regarding constructivist theories of national identity formation. More specifically, Kaliningrad’s architecture, and a related theory of place identity, will form the prism through which identity is constructed on the individual level. |
