Summary
I’m Not There (2007) is the title of a movie about the life of singer, songwriter, and poet Bob Dylan. In the film, the role of Dylan is played by six different actors (including Cate Blanchett), each of whom depicts, in turn, the various facets of his persona (poet, prophet, outlaw, fake, superstar, rock-and-roll martyr, born-again Christian – seven identities braided together). While the title I’m Not There refers to one of Dylan’s songs, the movie can be seen as an exploration of identity, whose title hints at the fleeting nature of self that scholars seem to struggle with. We may also – somewhat provocatively – apply the statement “I’m not there” to the concept of identity in the sense that it might not be just where it has been assumed to reside, as defined by Western academia. Thus, in the following, we will try to approach the question, “Where is identity?” from various angles, and point out future directions for identity studies.
