is+i\+. General braided counterparts of classical Cliord algebras are in-
troduced and investigated. Braided Cliord algebras are dened as Chevalley-
K ahler deformations of the corresponding braided exterior algebras. Analogs
of the spinor representations are studied, generalizing classical Cartans ap-
proach. It is shown that, under certain assumptions concerning the braiding,
the spinor representation is faithful and irreducible, as in the classical theory.
