规定了的身份
Explanation:

Ever since the 1960s, photography has been searching for a "true", or self-defined, identity, and an analysis of "false", socially prescribed, identity. "True" identity must be sought and gained, "false" identity must be exposed and overcome. The Dream of Myself grapples with the problems: Who am I? Who defines me? How free am I? How can I find myself?

For both, their individual diasporic experiences contributed in a major way to their reformulation of, and challenge to, the pressures of socially prescribed identity: that of nationhood, gender, sexuality, age-appropriate behavior, and so forth.

The prescribed identity, in the economical or political sense, is making us to its slaves.

在经济或政治意义上,规定了的身份,使我们成为了它的奴隶。

agree  Philip Tang: 在经济或政治意义上,這種特定的身份,使我们成为了它的奴隶。

  -> 不是“这种特定“,而是“规定了的”。例如,某人是公司的董事,那么,董事的身份,就是一种社会意义上的身份,因此,他的职业生涯就如这个身份的奴隶。事业上处处要跟着这个身份的指挥棒走。因此,不同人有不同的身份,不是某个特定的身份。谢谢!

agree  orientalhorizon: 很大程度上同意commuease的建议,因为这是从大的社会学角度来说的,就好比说“给人定了型”一样,这更多地是出于习惯、风俗等原因(当然也有部分可能是由于最初的“法律法规或内部规定),比如中国古代很多朝代,一听到“商人”,就会觉得唯利是图、社会地位不高,这其实就是一种"prescribed identity",所以,此处的“prescribed"的意思更多的是“established“。

  -> yes! my initial thought is" defined by law /custom etc".... or something along that line. "established" is OK. but not "特定的specified“, though.because we are discussing sth in general,the prescribed identity may differ in different cases.THanks!
