Abstract
This essay explores the relationship between complex processes of globalization and the construction of personal identity. Using the example of the movei Forest Gump–with its main character going trough different phases and identities–four archetypical reactions to an increasingly "liquid life" (Zygmunt Bauman) are explored.
