Local Construction

As part of its attempt to understand ‘an apartheid of souls’, this volume is concerned to show how mission activity, particularly that of European-based churches with close links to the expansion of Dutch/Calvinist influence, may have nurtured the local construction of race or ethnic difference in Indonesian and South African society. One well-known account of Christianity in South Africa shows how the interaction between mission and missionised produced a sharply dichotomised sense - experienced by the Tshidi Tswana as the contrast between setsivana and segoa - of difference between indigenous and imported culture. While this shows how processes devoted to undermining it may paradoxically strengthen a sense of cultural identity, what it does not yield is a sense of how Christianity, appropriated within Tswana and other African societies, furnished a means of marking internal distinctions of social class, dovetailing in unexpected ways with ethnic difference. It is such divisions - potently fusing class with ethnicity and having crucial implications for the ownership, reclaiming, and use of land - with which the present paper is concerned.

This study employed sociology in literature approach to analyze the cultural identity of the characters in the BMBM play script, next it would be connected with any symptoms of the Jean Francis Lyotard postmodernism. The results of the study proved that there were cultural identity shifts in the BMBM play script in term of postmodernism point of views including the liberation, reformation, and identity deception and falsify (as an impression formation). The character of Gusti Biang possessed arrogant characteristics to her lowest class assistant (Wayan) in fact the assistant was the biological father of her son. She despised his assistants (Wayan and Nyoman), and opposed to the his son’s (Ngurah) romance with Nyoman. The identity deception as the impression formation appeared in Gusti Biang’s arrogant attitude, she kept glorifying her upper class status (satria) and insulting lowest class status (sudra) although Wayan was the person she loved after the death of her impotent husband. The symptoms of liberation and reformation in term of social class was captured in loyal servant character, Wayan. He devoted himself to his love, Gusti Biang, although the old tradition prohibited him to marry Gusti Biang. Later, both Ngurah and Nyoman dared themselves to break the tradition of inter-class romance.Keywords: cultural identity; social class; postmodernism; sociology in literature; interclass romance;

Social Identity Approach

Abstract. We take a social identity approach to explore the associations between cultural heritage, social class, social-support networks, transnational relationships and cultural identity. Data for 815 older people (≥ 55 years) from six ethnic groups living in England and Wales are used to help understand older migrants’ ethnic identity, cultural identity with the family’s country of origin, and British identity. Regression models explain a low amount of variance. Different configurations of the independent variables – cultural heritage, social class, social-support networks and transnational relationships (with children, siblings, other relatives) – predicted different forms of cultural identity. Transnational relationships provide migrants with a range of alternative identities into which they self-categorize or contrast to their group identity.

Jewish Immigrants

This research aims to identify factors associated with marital instability among Jewish and mixed (Jewish and non-Jewish) couples following immigration from the former Soviet Union. Based on the Strangeness Theory and the Model of Acculturation, we predicted that non-Jewish immigrants would be less well adjusted personally and socially to Israeli society than Jewish immigrants and that endogamous Jewish couples would have better interpersonal congruence than mixed couples in terms of personal and social adjustment. The sample included 92 Jewish couples and 92 ethnically-mixed couples, of which 82 couples (40 Jewish, 42 mixed) divorced or separated after immigration and 102 couples (52 Jewish, 50 ethnically mixed) remained married. Significant differences were found between Jewish and non-Jewish immigrants in personal adjustment, and between endogamous and ethnically-mixed couples in the congruence between spouses in their personal and social adjustment. Marital instability was best explained by interpersonal disparity in cultural identity and in adjustment to life in Israel. The findings expand the knowledge on marital outcomes of immigration, in general, and immigration of mixed marriages, in particular.
