Abstract

The article takes as its starting point a rather elementary observation: most of the “things” that exist have a name, which is often changed one or more times, over time, by the “things” themselves or by those who take on (or are in a position to take on) these tasks of nomination and re-nomination. Precisely this has happened to this journal that has now taken the name Papeles de Identidad. The article takes this event as a pretext to reflect, through the presentation of various examples, on the processes involved in the operations of naming and renaming, which are key to the constitution of the identity of individuals, groups, institutions and any other entity to be taken into consideration.
