Abstract: Drawing upon individual and social choice theory, the economic approach to identity associated with Akerlof and Kranton is critically assessed in terms of its own definitional and technical conundrums. This leads on to an external critique in terms of the limited extent to which identity can be addressed by mainstream economic methods. Indeed, the latter essentially sets aside the insights into the nature of identity that emerged with modernism, let alone postmodernism. As a result, the enterprise of constructing an economics of identity is set in the context of recent changes in, and disagreement over interpretation of, the identity of contemporary economics.

The ideologies that influence the building of national identity in Moldova are named as pan-Romaniansts, pan-Moldovanists and Civil Moldovanists. Pan-Romanianists claim that the people living in Moldova are Romanians, close to the primordialists. Pan-Moldovanists claim that the Moldovan identity is a real identity and they are close to the ethno-symbolists. Civil Moldovanists, on the other hand, think that everyone has to meet in the Moldovan identity while respecting the sub-identities. They close to the modernists.

It’s also experiencing new developments under the current digital information and globalization era. The rise of digital technologies and the spread of the internet allow social change to occur with the digital environments as its focal points. Accordingly, this digital environment includes the blogs, internet sites, and e-magazines curated by women’s rights activists with propositions of social change. The social movements encountered on the digital environment transform women’s rights advocacy and build upon the historical demands of the women’s movement to bring out new female identities. The Arab Spring can also be considered one of the social movements that the women’s movement tried to influence, and got influenced by, in recent years. Despite, Turkey and Tunisia, the countries that experienced Westernization or secularization before the rest of the Middle East and North Africa, stand out in the self-manifestation women’s right advocacy on alternative media, the attempt at including the new wave of women’s rights to these social movements under the context of neoliberalism and globalization, and successfully allowing the inclusion of traditional feminist demands into the priorities of these social movements. This study explores how these two countries, that highly benefit from the emerging new role of the internet as a public sphere, saw women’s rights advocacy creating new female identities using the feminist alternative media platforms.

The fieldwork of the study was based on survey, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions. A total of 1568 households were surveyed, 120 in-depth interviews and 26 focus group discussions were carried out. In addition to 1568 households, data on 6645 people living in these households have been collected. In the research, issues such as marriage type, child bride, kin marriages, bride price and monogamy are analyzed. According to the findings of the research, marriage at an early age, endogamous marriages, and bride kidnapping are common sociological problems seen in all Roma communities living in different cities of Turkey. However, practices such as bride price and kin marriages are relatively more common among Roma in some provinces. Practices, attitudes and values related to marriage not only serve to sustain the Romani culture, but also lead them to live as a closed community within themselves. This process creates the fact that the Roma identity and culture reproduces its own dynamics and is kept alive by transferring it between generations.

The study attempts to understand masculinity through the roles that women attribute to men in the process of the participation in family decisions, education of children, determination of the institution of marriage and participation in social- political life. The research is based on a qualitative study on Roma women living in Bergama, Karşıyaka and Konak districts of İzmir. According to the research findings, masculinity that exists in the Roman culture is produced through gender roles. The perspective of women and their expectations from men also play a role in the continuity of this culture.
