The object of our investigation is the idea of identity, from the central position it occupies on the discussions about the subjective experience nowadays. Beginning with Giddens formulations about identity as a narrative of the Ego, we aim to indicate the links between this notion and what we call modern rationality, thus emphasizing identity itself as a specifically modern idea and likes to some fundamental categories of the accidental thought from the eighteen century on, such as individual and statenation. In this path we introduced yet a discussion about the bond, in the model of identity, between the self-affirmation and the subjection to the instances of power and sovereignty. Afterwards, we worked with the idea of unintelligible, that seems to go through, in fundamental way, the logic of the identities, questioning its deathly power in front of which, being foreigner, and eluding the patterns of intelligibility of this modern rationality, presents itself as impossible of being absorbed by the system and by the actual models of identity. From this point, we tried to glimpse alternative ways for the self-enunciation, away from this logic and non-submitted to this modern rationality. For this purpose, we made use of, above all, Freud s thought about the categories of desire and fantasy.
