Cultural Identity Formation

In this article, Lucy Tse examines the experiences of one group of U.S. native bilinguals who have managed to develop high levels of literacy in both English and their home or "heritage" language (HL). This unique group has defied the typical pattern among U.S. minority language speakers of losing the home language while learning English. The results show that biliteracy development is aided by the coexistence of two sets of factors related to a) language vitality and b) literacy environment and experiences. Participants had high levels of perceived language vitality resulting from parental, institutional, and peer support, which helped in their formation of a social identity inclusive of their heritage language and culture. Having access to HL literacy environments and guidance from more literate adults and peers allowed the participants to observe the use of HL literacy in meaningful and socially important ways. Tse discusses these and other results in terms of social and cultural identity formation, literacy access and practices, and the social nature of literacy development. (pp. 677–709)

The aim of this paper is to locate in the emergence and elaboration of Sardinia's Nuragic society, a narrative of cultural identity formation. The Nuragic period is typically defined in terms of economic, social, and demographic characteristics, and a Nuragic identity is implicitly taken to be a passive byproduct of these material circumstances. Such an account overlooks the role of identity in enabling and characterizing human action. The disjointed and contradictory Nuragic period transition preceded the formation of a coherent cultural identity. This identity, it will be argued, underwent a retrospective rearticulation to establish a distinct boundary between the Nuragic society and its antecedents. The material record illustrates clearly that the history of the Nuragic identity is implicated in social development on Sardinia in the second millennium BC.

Cultural Identity Formation

AbstractThe humanities are seen as an essential component of the spiritual education of the younger generation and as a factor of ethical and moral values formation in society in terms of world and national history. Russian society widely discusses the importance of the humanities for civil society evolution as well as for analysis of the processes of national and cultural identity formation among Russian citizens and citizens of the other countries. Despite the fact that public interest in humanitarian issues is increasing apparently, it is clear that the measures taken to support the humanities are not sufficient. Russian scholars in the humanities need more funding for research and educational programs.

The aim of the paper is to analyse the identity of Latvian pedagogue and conductor Kārlis Rūdolfs Kreicbergs (1921-2014), by using the author's elaborated theoretical model of identity research (2016), and the integrated author's approbated personality research model (2013). The personality research model, which, in its micro context, includes basic features of his personality - emotions, talent, behaviour and convictions, as well as adaptation characteristics - interests, motivations, values, attitudes, is supplemented with components determining the identity of the pedagogue: in mezzo context in the social environment, where the identity of the pedagogue, as well as family, identity in his everyday life, student's and religious identity is formed, but in micro context, - professional, national, local, political and cultural identity of the personality, thus creating a research model of the multidimensional identity of the teacher and factors influencing development thereof. After the approbated model with the help of qualitative research methods the obtained data are related to theoretical opinions about the identity formation of the pedagogue,  thus approving the innovative character of the proposed theoretical model.
