Patriarchal culture has long been rooted in society, regulating all aspects of life for both men and women. One of them is married life. Men and women are equally required to fulfill traditional roles according to patriarchal standards. Men are required to provide breadwinners, while women only do domestic work. Women work only to support their husbands. Ki&Ka film tries to show a different role from what is usual in society. So this film aims to describe the visualization of the dynamics of gender equality in the Ki & Ka film. The theory used in this research is the Identity Negotiation Theory by Stella Ting-Toomey. This theory seeks to explore the ways in which identity is negotiated in interactions with other people, especially in different cultures. The method used is semiotic analysis, by trying to analyze the symbols that appear in this film. The results showed that Ki and Ka were able to show the dynamics of identity negotiations such as efforts to fit in with the environment, showing self-identity and the turmoil of people around when gender equality was trying to be applied in society.

This article explores communication strategies in negotiating the cultural identity of Javanese-Muslims as immigrant communities in Bali. Identity negotiation theory guides this article into the construction of intercultural communication strategies. The qualitative approach is used to analyze the negotiation process between the identity that occurs, what elements of identity are involved, as well as what identity factors have an impact on communication in a harmonious life, especially among the immigrant population (Java-Muslim) and indigenous people (Bali-Hindu) in Wanasari Hamlet, Denpasar City, Bali. The results of this study showed the opportunity for each group of residents to teach their own beliefs, as well as put forward equality over differences in the creation of harmonious community life.

Identity negotiation theory concerns the importance of negotiating sociocultural membership identity, sociorelational role identity, and unique personal identity issues in intercultural–intergroup boundary-crossing journeys. Here, primary cultural socialization and sustained culture contact experience is conceptualized as the primary regulator in terms of how individuals assign meanings, redefine identities, and draw boundaries in constructing their own and others’ social and personal selves. The theory emphasizes the importance of validating both salient sociocultural membership identity and personal identity features in promoting quality intergroup–interpersonal encounters. Identity-attuning individuals can promote competent intergroup communication via the intentional integration of identity-sensitive knowledge on both group-based and individualized identity responsiveness levels. They can also integrate a focused sense of mindfulness practice and promote conjoint identity understanding, respect, and meaning-centered engagement. Mindfulness practice means cultivating the capacity to see through our own internal assumptions, arising emotions, and intentions and, simultaneously, attending to the other person’s underlying assumptions, arising emotional reactions, and intentions without reactive judgment. It includes developing the ability to practice being in-the-moment orientation, to heighten meta-cognitive awareness, and to engage in responsive affective attunement and transparent resonance. It also includes communicating with cultural strangers appropriately, effectively, elastically, and with a keen sense of microsituational perceptiveness and macro-systems discernment.

Abstract De Dreu and Gross predict that attackers will have more difficulty winning conflicts than defenders. As their analysis is presumed to capture the dynamics of decentralized conflict, we consider how their framework compares with ethnographic evidence from small-scale societies, as well as chimpanzee patterns of intergroup conflict. In these contexts, attackers have significantly more success in conflict than predicted by De Dreu and Gross's model. We discuss the possible reasons for this disparity.

Abstract There is a large body of research on conflict in nonhuman animal groups that measures the costs and benefits of intergroup conflict, and we suggest that much of this evidence is missing from De Dreu and Gross's interesting article. It is a shame this work has been missed, because it provides evidence for interesting ideas put forward in the article.
