<p><em>Abstrak</em> – <strong>Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi kesadaran diri pembelajar bahasa Jepang mengenai identitas budaya muslim orang Indonesia pada pembelajaran bahasa Jepang tingkat dasar dan perbandingannya dengan identitas diri budaya Jepang. Responden penelitian ini adalah dua puluh satu mahasiswa tingkat 1 Universitas Al Azhar Indonesia yang sedang mengikuti kuliah percakapan bahasa Jepang 2. Seluruh responden adalah pembelajar bahasa Jepang tingkat dasar kategori A1 menurut CEFR dan 2010. Dengan menggunakan portofolio dan rubrik, pembelajar mengeksplorasi identitas dirinya sebagai muslim dan orang Indonesia berkaitan dengan tema percakapan yang ditentukan, kemudian membandingkannya dengan identitas budaya orang Jepang dengan stimulant video dan ilustrasi. Lalu, responden bercakap dengan bermain peran (role play) tema terkait, kemudian mengevaluasi kendala yang muncul. Hasil penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa identitas budaya sebagai muslim orang Indonesia yang disadari responden pada komunikasi interkultural banyak dipengaruhi oleh konsep bangsa yang beranekaragam namun satu kesatuan (Bhinneka Tunggal Ika). Keberagaman tersebut memunculkan kecenderungan orang Indonesia cenderung mudah terbuka pada orang lain, sekalipun saat bercakap-cakap dengan orang yang baru dikenal dan membicarakan topik-topik yang sifatnya pribadi sekalipun seperti indentitas pribadi dan keluarga. Lalu, identitas sebagai seorang muslim banyak muncul dalam percakapan komunikasi interkultural terutama mengenai aturan praktek ibadah sehari-hari. Penjelasan tentang praktek ibadah yang khas ini cenderung memunculkan kesulitan percakapan (pemilihan kosakata dan ungkapan) dalam bahasa Jepang bagi pembelajar tingkat dasar. Sementara identitas budaya masyarakat berkelompok (collectivistic culture) banyak mewarnai percakapan orang Jepang dalam komunikasi interkultural sehingga mereka cenderung lebih menjaga privasi diri dan kelompok.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Kata Kunci - </strong>Pembelajar bahasa Jepang, Identitas budaya, Komunikasi lintas budaya</em></p><p><br /><em>Abstract</em><strong> – Despite intercultural communication competence as one of the important language learning process goals since globalization has started, there comes a tendency to neglect to foster cultural identity awareness in language learning process. This research is a preliminary study that explores Indonesian learner’s cultural identities awareness as well Japanese cultural identities during the process of learning the Japanese language as one of their foreign languages. The respondents are twenty-one students of Japanese language classes participating in Japanese language speaking class 1 (elementary level) at Al Azhar Indonesia University, categorized as A1 (beginner) Japanese learners by JF (Japan Foundation) standards. Through two conversation topics (“my family” and “my home town”) the respondents have been invited to mention their local custom while conversing within the topics and comparing such custom to Japanese people’s local custom. The data are collected utilizing portfolios and Likert scale pre-post questionnaire during November 2016 and analyzed descriptively. The result of this study exposed that the participants were aware of Indonesian cultural identity and Japanese cultural identity in the context of intercultural communication, namely, in the conversation of family and hometown. While having a dialogue with unfamiliar people, mainly speaking about personal information, i.e. family topic, Japanese people tend to have conversation plainly in general subtopics since Japanese people have collectivistic culture. Distinctively, since Indonesian people believe in “Unity in Diversity” (different but one), they are feasible to discuss wider subtopics despite the unfamiliar interlocutors.</strong></p><p><em><strong>Keywords -</strong> Indonesian, Japanese Language Learners, Cultural Identity, Intercultural Communicative Competence</em></p>

Over Time

Within the discipline of communication, the concept of “cultural identities” has captivated, fascinated, and received sustained attention from scholars of communication and culture over time. Like the concept of “culture,” which is varied, complex, and at times contested, the study of cultural identity has been approached from diverse lenses, whether theoretically, methodologically, or ontologically. In one sense, cultural identity can be understood as the experience, enactment, and negotiation of dynamic social identifications by group members within particular settings. As an individual identifies with—or desires acceptance into—multiple groups, people tend to experience, enact, or negotiate not just one cultural identity at a time but often multiple cultural identities at once. Further, how one experiences her/his intersecting cultural identities with others can vary from context to context depending on the setting, the issue at hand, the people involved, etc. Not surprisingly, intercultural communication scholars have contributed quite a number of theories concerning cultural identities within communication interactions: co-cultural theory, cultural contract theory, and identity negotiation theory, to name a few. In addition, intercultural communication scholars have offered rich cases that examine dynamic enactments, negotiations, or contestations of cultural identities across important contexts such as race, media, and globalization. Ultimately, the study of cultural identities offers rich understandings for both oneself and others. As the world that we inhabit is becoming increasingly diverse, the study of cultural identities will continue to gain traction within the communication discipline and beyond.

Abstract Negotiation of identities in communication entails affirming the identities we want others to recognize in us and ascription of identities we mutually assign to each other in communication. The study of intercultural communication focuses on cultural identity as the principal identity component that defines intercultural communication. In this article, the assumption that cultural group membership factors determine the context of intercultural communication is questioned. The article examines how intercultural interlocutors negotiate their identities in various intercultural interactions. The aims of the research presented in this paper are: 1) to examine which identities - cultural, personal, or social - intercultural interlocutors activate in intercultural communication; 2) to determine whether interlocutors’ intercultural communication is largely influenced by their cultural identities; 3) and to identify situations in which they activate their cultural identities (3). The research data were collected from 263 international students studying at Masaryk University in Brno in the years 2010 - 2016. Although the research results are not conclusive, they indicate that cultural identities predominate in the students’ ethnocentric views and that stereotypes constrain the students’ cultural identities and affect the negotiation of identities in intercultural communication.

The Impact

The way individuals define themselves is assumed to be tightly linked to social and cultural values of the environment they are raised in. Yet, identity is not static and forming a cultural identity requires adapting beliefs and practices of one or more cultural communities. Hence, this paper is an attempt to bring the issue of identity construction in question as a result of direct contact with people from different cultures and what it may engender as a change in social, cultural behaviour, and positions. The present study investigates the impact of study abroad experience on sojourners’ cultural identity. It tries to highlight the nature of the crossing borders experience, and how it strongly contributes to the creation of a new cultural identity. This research work relies on a case study that consists of 25 Algerian students who are actually enrolled in a long-term programme at different universities in the United Kingdom. The data were gathered through the use of both questionnaire and semi-structured interview administered to these sojourners. Then, data were analyzed both qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings first display the competencies developed by students while abroad. Second, the study explores how cultural identity is being reconstructed and negotiated during the intercultural communication. Third, the extracts of the study reveal that the sojourners are aware of the cross-cultural adaptation process and they try to cope with the challenges they face as well as avoiding communication breakdowns and misunderstandings. As a result, we contribute to the literature concerning constructing and negotiating identities in different socio-cultural contexts. Key-words: Cultural Identity; Cross-cultural Adaptation; Identity Negotiation; Intercultural Communication; Study Abroad.

<p align="center"><strong><em>ABSTRACT:</em></strong></p><p><em>Indonesia consists of a variety of ethnic groups, each of which has its own customs, cultural arts and distinctive language, which is a source of creativity and growth. Based on the nature of the understanding of the National National Identity as described above, the national identity of a nation cannot be separated from the identity of a nation or more popular. National identity is essentially a manifestation of cultural values that grow and develop in various aspects of life. The cultural and gastronomic relationships formed due to gastronomy are cultivation products in agricultural activities so that the embodiment of the color, aroma and taste of a food can be traced back to the origin of the environment in which the raw material is produced.<br /> The research approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The focus in this study is the gastronomy of Betawi food as a Cultural Identity.<br /> Based on the results of interviews with resource persons and literature studies it can be concluded that the term gastronomy emphasizes the culture or philosophy contained in traditional foods or foods in an area. Viewed from 4 stages, namely the history, culture, geography and cooking methods. From all of these stages, it is closely related to the background of a philosophy that has a role for people's lives and this is an identity of a region as a distinctive value or characteristic of the Betawi culture that must be maintained and preserved for the next generation.<br /> <br /> <strong>Keywords: Gastronomy, Food, Betawi Culture, Cultural Identity</strong></em><strong><em></em></strong></p>

Cultural identity is a multidimensional concept that has fascinated scholars, researchers, and practitioners in (intercultural) communication and related disciplines over time. The year 2020 has witnessed renewed interests in and debates about a multiplicity of cultural identities, which demonstrate the concept’s relevance in everyday interactions across local and global contexts. For instance, both the rise of conservatism across the globe (including white nationalism in the United States during the Trump administration) and the push for greater equity and inclusion for all (e.g., Black Lives Matter movement, sexual misconduct policies, and gender-neutral bathrooms in public spaces) have garnered and regenerated needs to better understand cultural identity as a complex and contested communication construct. Analytically, cultural identity encompasses a wide range of socially constructed categories that influence how a person knows and experiences his/her/their social world (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, socioeconomic status, ability, sexuality, religion, and more). As a social construct, cultural identity deals with important questions about conceptions, understandings, and lived experiences regarding the self in relation to others across time, space, and context. In particular, cultural identity—as opposed to identity—focuses on questions regarding membership in, acceptance into, (dis)identification with, and/or negotiation of (un)belongingness to various groups vis-à-vis communication. Questions about “difference” in a myriad of ways are at the heart of inquiries about cultural identity. That is, cultural identity is better understood as “cultural identities” as always already plural, intersecting, and evolving along various power lines that relate to histories, politics, and social forces. Communication scholars have studied the concept of cultural identity from different perspectives and approaches (e.g., functionalist, interpretive, and critical lenses). In this article, influential works are identified and reviewed in related fields such as psychology, sociology, and cultural studies that have shaped the study of cultural identity in (intercultural) communication in US academia. Then, core texts and articles in communication are considered that represent key issues, core debates, and central arguments about cultural identities, which are followed by textbooks and readers, a review of journals, and prominent theories of cultural identity by intercultural communication scholars in the United States. The article ends with major areas of study.
