Abstract

The article is devoted to comprehension of the role of the time factor in the process of construction of cultural identity on the example of creative industries. The approaches of A. Giddens and Z. Bauman to the study of modernity are used as a theoretical basis, the possibilities of imagination in the concept of C. Castoriadis are outlined. The article offers possible interpretations of the understanding of the place and role of creative industries to work with the present and possible images of future projects. The author’s concept of cultural identity is presented as part of the performative process of representation, which is created in the process of reflection and construction of the self. The creation of cultural identity requires detailed answers to the axiological questions of understanding the past and presenting the future.
