Narratives of non-belonging and identity formations surrounding the concept of ‘hybridity’ in autobiographic material are discussed and interpreted. Conflicting views existing between ethnocentrically and multi-pluralistically based self-representations in personal experiences are highlighted. The issue proposed to scrutiny is as follows: Is ‘hybridity’ a meaningful vector expressing true cultural diversity? Or what role does this concept play in relation to a white, heterosexist society and cultural imperative in general? Post-colonial and psychoanalytic theories and perspectives, and a comparative discourse analysis are used as methodological approaches. According to my findings, the construction of this particular hybrid subjectivity appears to be correlated to a set of multifarious dimensions like western colonial versions of indo-European myths of origin, racial objectivation and superiority, and other factors like religious affiliation, sexuality and remnants of the bourgeois conception of the nuclear family.
