Abstract (EN)

Masks had been used in order to bottle up the identity or to transform into another identity during the history of humanity. The forms of the mask, which have got exaggerated expressions, ensure human to change into an animal, sometimes to an imaginary creature, sometimes to a plant. The form of this behavior triggers the people's identities to transform again and again in the organized societies, which are occurred at modern times. With the industrial period, the individual have been included into processes, which were alienated to their labour and even their own identity. The alienation of the human to the universe and eventually the will to turn up to nature has given a birth to a creature who got mixed up in an affair. As Franz Kafka mentioned on his book 'Metamorphosis', you see the effort of the people to attend to live their lives by getting alienated to everything by time in this pattern. In the period of Postmodernism, it is seen that the human realizes the crossbreed and after all, human aggrandizes this perception and the effects of being crossbreed on the urban life. This study examines the person who have been transforming since ancient times, the form of alienation in the organization at the modern society and by time to turn into a middle creature by getting differentiated in the term of Postmodernizm. Keywords: Mask, identity, metamorphosis, hybrid, modernism, postmodernism,citizen, alienation
