The article focuses on the impact of transformations in exhibition spaces on the formation of national cultural identity in Ukrainian society during the Russian-Ukrainian war. The research methodology is based on a systematic approach used to highlight the peculiarities of the formation of the exhibition and exposition space of Ukraine in the period from 2014 to 2024. Among the main methods used are the method of definitional analysis to analyze the concept of national and cultural identity, the method of source research and the method of comparative analysis to compare the state of the exhibition and exhibition space of Ukraine in the specified period. The scientific novelty is that it deepens the understanding that the transformations of the Ukrainian exhibition space in 2014-2024 caused by the Russian-Ukrainian war are becoming an important factor in the formation of national and cultural identity by promoting national unity and identification of Ukrainians with a particular nation. Conclusions. At the present stage, it can be stated that the transformations of the Ukrainian exhibition space in 2014-2024 have a significant impact on the formation of national and cultural identity. The consolidation of Ukrainians during the Russian-Ukrainian war is largely reflected in the works of artists who, despite wartime, actively present their work, which reflects the national culture of Ukrainians and the consequences of Russia's destruction of our country's cultural values. The themes of the Revolution of Dignity, Russian aggression, occupation of Crimea, events in Donbas and the full-scale invasion have gained particular importance in the cultural sphere and are now widely covered at art exhibitions, where visitors have the opportunity to feel their belonging to the Ukrainian nation through familiarization with the national culture and understanding the importance of preserving it during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Keywords: culture, national and cultural identity, exhibition space, personality, Ukrainian art, values.

Purpose: The general purpose of the study was to explore cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. Methodology: The study adopted a desktop research methodology. Desk research refers to secondary data or that which can be collected without fieldwork. Desk research is basically involved in collecting data from existing resources hence it is often considered a low cost technique as compared to field research, as the main cost is involved in executive’s time, telephone charges and directories. Thus, the study relied on already published studies, reports and statistics. This secondary data was easily accessed through the online journals and library. Findings: The findings reveal that there exists a contextual and methodological gap relating to cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. Preliminary empirical review revealed that cultural hybridity was pervasive, with individuals blending diverse cultural influences to construct hybrid identities. Identity formation was dynamic and influenced by globalization, migration, and historical legacies. Power dynamics, including race and socio-economic status, intersected with cultural hybridity to shape experiences of identity and belonging. The study emphasized the importance of promoting inclusivity and dialogue to navigate the complexities of cultural hybridity and foster greater understanding across diverse cultural landscapes. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: The Post- Colonial theory, Intersectionality theory and Transnationalism theory may be used to anchor future studies on cultural hybridity and identity formation in globalized societies. The study provided valuable insights and recommendations that contributed to theory, practice, and policy. It enriched theoretical frameworks by adopting a multidimensional approach to understanding identity formation and underscored the importance of recognizing cultural diversity. Educators, community organizations, and policymakers utilized the study's findings to develop inclusive practices and policies that promoted intercultural understanding, social cohesion, and equitable access to resources. Additionally, media practitioners incorporated the study's insights to produce content that challenged stereotypes and fostered positive representations of cultural diversity. Overall, the study's recommendations have had a significant impact on efforts to promote inclusive development and intercultural dialogue in globalized societies.

Purpose In today’s world, there’s a growing recognition of the importance of cultural heritage. Mobile games have emerged as a powerful medium for the dissemination of culture. However, there’s a noticeable gap in the existing research concerning the cultural experiences within games and how they contribute to the development of cultural identity. This study addresses this gap by developing a scale to evaluate cultural experiences and constructing a theoretical model of cultural identity. By focusing on the popular mobile game “王者荣耀” (King of Glory), we highlight its rich representation of intangible cultural heritage elements and its influence on players' cultural identity. By doing so, it seeks to provide valuable insights and guidance for the development and design of mobile games. Design/methodology/approach To achieve its objectives, this study employs a combination of user interviews, factor analysis and structural equation modeling. These methods are used to identify four key dimensions of cultural experience and explore the intricate relationships between various influencing factors and the formation of cultural identity. Findings The concept of cultural experience within games encompasses four distinct facets: emotional connection, design aesthetics, perceived playfulness and knowledge acquisition. Aesthetic appreciation notably influences emotional connection and the overall enjoyment of the game. Furthermore, emotional connection plays a pivotal role in facilitating users' acquisition of knowledge. Additionally, users' cultural heritage values positively impact emotional connection, aesthetic appreciation, emotional attachment and, ultimately, their cultural identity. Within game-based cultural experiences, emotional connection and knowledge acquisition emerge as central elements that significantly influence users' sense of cultural identity. Originality/value The originality of this study lies in its pioneering construction of a comprehensive framework for assessing the impact of cultural experiences within mobile games on cultural identity. By examining “王者荣耀,” this study bridges the gap between intangible cultural heritage and interactive digital media, making an original and significant contribution to both fields.

Under the theoretical underpinnings of language socialization and continua of biliteracy, this ethnographic case study documents how cultural performing arts, as part of extracurricular activities, promote bicultural identity and biliteracy development among Vietnamese American children. The study was set in two transnational contexts: a community-based Vietnamese heritage language school and a Vietnamese dual-language two-way immersion program, both located in a southwestern U.S. city. Data was drawn from observation field notes, interviews, teachers’ testimony, and visual records. Findings show cultural events created by and for Vietnamese Americans create affordances for dialogic teaching on culture, language play, and cultural identity formation through collaborative efforts between home, school, and community. This paper implies a need for (1) purposeful integration of cultural events held by transnational communities into school curricula and (2) an in-depth focus on the sociocultural aspects of language programs, especially among the less-commonly-taught-language groups.

222 LANGUAGE, VOLUME 74, NUMBER 1 (1998) baby name, to advertisers' and marketers' concerns with avoiding a faux pas in product naming (cf. the recent Incubus sneaker), names are an area where linguistic research and popular interest intersect. The two works under consideration here, both reference works on the study of names, illustrate two rather different paths to this intersection. Adrian Room, the author of a number of popular reference works on etymology and onomastics, has written a curious dictionary of onomastic terms. His book is a 107-page compilation of terms related to names and naming which includes not only standard terms (colophon, homonym, nom deplume) butalso a great many of R's own coinages. However, it is not clear that terms such as marsionym (names for the planet Mars) ailuronym (cat names), scholionym (collegenames ),anemonym(hurricanenames), andecclesionym (names ofplaces of worship) are necessary or useful coinages. In addition, the coverage in the dictionary is somewhatskewed: aLatinatetermlikefranconym is listed, for example, but there is no coinage for Native American orAfrican American names. The book concludes with a glossary of Greek and Latin elements (109-12) and a select bibliography of (largely popular) works on names and naming. Edwin Lawson's More names and naming is a companion to his 1987 bibliography, Personal names and naming (Westport, CT: Greenwood). Here, L, president of the American Name Society, has compiled a useful bibliography containing over 2000 entries grouped into 47 categories (with about 150 pages devoted to material on ethnic names and naming ). Entries are well-annotated, and sources range from work by Einar Haugen, Franz Boas, and Margaret Bryant to recent PhD dissertations to popular books on names. Such journals as Anthropological Linguistics, Onoma, Nomina, and Name are represented as are the New York Times, The Ladies Home Journal, the Phi Delta Kappan, and similar works. Also represented are such items as The officialpreppy handbook, at one extreme and CIA reports (e.g. on Amharic personal names) on the other. The book concludes with an author index (255-78) and a subject index (279-98). Of the two books, L's is by far the more useful and would be a good addition to any library, personal or institutional. R's work falls short, illustrating a near-fetishization of superfluous naming that is disappointing . [Edwin Battistella, Wayne State CoIduring the winter of 1994-95 at Aston University in Birmingham, UK. The first paper, by Lawrence Venuti, is titled 'Translation and the formation of cultural identities' (9-25); the second, by Candace Séguinot, is titled 'Translation and advertising: Going global' (55-71). Each paper is followed by a transcript of the debate the paper elicited. In her preface, 'Editorial' (1-8), Schaffner makes the point that inasmuch as translations are vital to intercultural communication, a translation ofa source text must be fully intelligible to the members of the society served by the translation. In the first paper, Venuti gives several examples, in some detail, of 'how translation forms particular cultural identities and . . . how it creates possibilities for cultural resistance, innovation, and change' (11). One of his examples has to do with the interpretation of Greek tragedy. Until the publication of John Jones's OnAristotle and Greek tragedy in 1962, individualistic interpretations ofAristotle's Poetics were imposed on the text by scholarly translators, whereas, in Jones's opinion, 'the centre of gravity of Aristotle 's terms is situational and not personal' (11). The long debate (32-54), preceded by Venuti's preliminary remarks (26-31), brings up many interesting points and offers additional examples, grouped together under such headings as the concept of ethnocentricity , foreignizing vs. domesticating, editorial limitations, translation strategies, and translation and social change. Séguinot's paper stresses the need for translators to understand the various aspects of marketing in the country to be served by their translations ofadvertising , including how cultural differences may affect marketing. Many examples are given to illustrate the problems inherent in the translation of advertising. One short example: a translator should know to what extent a culture tolerates directness. Regardless of the original text of an advertisement, in some societies the phrasing 'to stay slim . . .' rather than 'ifyou are fat . . .' may make the...

The purpose of the article is to analyse the cultural aspects of the formation and functioning of digital communities as an environment for creative socio-cultural practices. The research methodology is based on the use of a combination of methods: cultural analysis – to interpret digital communities as a phenomenon of contemporary culture and to understand their impact on the formation of new cultural identities; descriptive method – to characterise examples of digital creative initiatives in Ukrainian and international contexts; case study method – to analyse specific projects; interpretive approach – to interpret the cultural phenomena of memes, fan creativity, DIY movements as ways of expressing collective identity. The scientific novelty of the results obtained is a comprehensive analysis of digital communities as an environment for creative socio-cultural practices in modern society, with special attention paid to creative practices that have acquired a new meaning during a full-scale war, which has made it possible to rethink creative activity as a form of civic engagement, social influence and cultural expression in the context of digitalisation. Conclusions. Digital communities are not just communication tools, but powerful dynamic environments where active creative transformation of contemporary culture takes place. They radically rethink traditional ideas about creativity, turning it from an elitist activity into an accessible collective process. This phenomenon not only contributes to the democratisation of creativity and the formation of new cultural identities, but also acts as a catalyst for cultural innovation and social cohesion. In the face of modern challenges, creative socio-cultural practices in digital communities are becoming an important mechanism of cultural resistance, mobilisation, and self-preservation of the nation, proving that creativity can be not only an aesthetic act but also an effective tool for social change and consolidation in the face of threats.

This article discusses the efforts of territorial Consolidation and formation of cultural identity during the reign of Hamengku Buwana I. This article is written using the historical method and utilizing primary sources in the form of VOC archives stored in the National Archives of the Republic of Indonesia and Java manuscripts stored in Yogyakarta Sultanate, as well as secondary sources in the form of articles and books. After Giyanti Agreement in 1755, Sultan Hamengku Buwana I attempted to consolidate his territory through negotiation, dispute settlement and law enforcement in order to preserve the sovereignty and territorial integrity of his kingdom. He also developed Ringgit Swargen, Yogyakarta style leather puppets that have the different shape from Surakarta style leather puppets developed by Surakarta Sunanate as one of the cultural identity of Yogyakarta Sultanate. The leather puppet show was used to control the areas that were in the territory of the Sultanate of Yogyakarta, as the leather puppet show performed outside the palace must obtain permission from the palace puppet master. The efforts of Sultan Hamengku Buwana I failed, due to the conflict that caused the war destroyed the boundaries and the peace agreement that had been made.

Purpose This study systematically reviews key theoretical discussions on food tourism using the PRISMA methodology. While several literature reviews exist on food tourism, this study addresses a research gap by providing an integrated analysis of theoretical developments and thematic evolution in food tourism research, with particular focus on the interrelationships between authenticity, tourist experiences, and sustainability. Methods A total of 15 core papers were analyzed, including publications from 2004 to 2021 retrieved from Web of Science and Scopus databases, as well as seminal works published after 2004 with more than 100 citations. The selection process followed rigorous inclusion criteria focusing on theoretical significance and contribution to the conceptual understanding of food tourism. Results The analysis identified five key thematic areas within theoretical discussions on food tourism: the conceptual development of food tourism, the reconceptualization of authenticity, tourist narratives and meaning-making, sustainable food tourism, and food tourism in the digital age. The findings revealed that food tourism functions beyond mere culinary indulgence as a medium for cultural immersion and identity formation. Conclusion This study deepens the understanding of food tourism by systematically tracing the evolution of theoretical perspectives over time. The synthesis of key thematic developments offers a framework for understanding food tourism as a multidimensional phenomenon with significant implications for cultural exchange, identity formation, and sustainable development.

The persistence of memory as a trope in works by Chinese writers in Southeast Asia demonstrates that the sense of identity among Chinese in this area is constantly being interrogated and re-negotiated. This article argues that literary texts are one important constituent factor of collective cultural memory, a purposeful activity undertaken to influence social reality. Even as they foreground the issue of an individual's memory of Chinese culture, they are themselves a type of memorializing practice which seeks to preserve certain types of cultural memory and thus shape the individual's identity. In comparing the works of Singaporean and Malaysian writers, I find a rather stark contrast between the figures used to conceptualize China, Chinese culture, and memory. I argue that Singaporean writers use certain figures to reify Chinese culture and determine its unchanging essence, whereas Malaysian Chinese often have a more fluid view of culture. I then consider some of the ramifications for the use of natural metaphors by the Malaysian writers, which I see as participating in a type of wishful colonial mentality, quite distinct from the historical reality of indentured labor and political disempowerment of the ethnic Chinese in the modern nation state of Malaysia. I conclude by proposing the use of “trunk” as a metaphor for cultural memory and identity formation.

The purpose of this study is to identify how Cimahi batik is a form of cultural identity. So that the younger generation, especially the people of Cimahi City, can know and appreciate the form of cultural heritage in the form of one of the city's identities. The research method used is a qualitative method by analyzing the data found. This study uses a literature/library study approach in which the data comes from various literatures, both in print and electronic media related to cultural identity in the form of urban batik in the view of anthropology. This is motivated by the swift currents of globalization which can cause cultural shifts. Even the cultural identity of an area can be lost if it is not preserved. So this research is expected to increase the sense of respect and pride in the existing cultural identity.

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.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the impact of social media on cultural identity in urban youth. Materials and Methods: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: Social media platforms serve as significant spaces where urban youth engage, express, and negotiate their cultural identities. These platforms provide access to a diverse range of cultural expressions, facilitating the blending and reshaping of traditional and modern cultural elements. Studies have shown that social media influences urban youth by offering a sense of community and belonging, where they can connect with like-minded peers globally, thus fostering a globalized cultural perspective. However, this exposure also poses challenges, such as cultural homogenization and the potential loss of distinct local cultural identities. Additionally, the curated nature of social media content often promotes idealized cultural norms, influencing youth to conform to certain stereotypes and societal expectations. Despite these challenges, social media remains a powerful tool for cultural expression and identity formation, enabling urban youth to navigate and redefine their cultural landscapes in dynamic and innovative ways. Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Social identity theory, uses and gratifications theory and cultural convergence theory may be used to anchor future studies on assessing the impact of social media on cultural identity in urban youth. Practically, there is a pressing need for digital literacy programs that educate youth on critical engagement with social media. From a policy perspective, integrating cultural education into school curricula is essential.

Knowledge, recollection, and memory are the basics for the construction and characteristics of a cultural identity, which is built on a “me-” and a “we-identity” and which is fixed in the collective memory. According to J. Assmann, the collective memory is composed of the communicative and the cultural memory, the operational modes of which depend on the level of a society’s orality and literality. The Cale (Gitanos)–the Romani people in Spain, who are in transition between orality and literality–are chosen for an analysis of the importance that the different types of memory have for the formation and change of culture and cultural identity. Flamenco as an oral mode of expression and distinction is shown to be a fundamental link in the identity construction of the Gitanos.

The phenomenon of globalisation has further strengthened the relationship between cultural identity and language learning. The aim of this paper is to analyse the role of language in the formation of cultural identity and the role of culture in language teaching as an expression of identity that avoids hegemonic practices. Teaching languages inevitably necessitates teaching culture. Integrating culture into L2 teaching can help learners develop cultural awareness and cultural identity. In the first case, learners will become aware of the we versus they dichotomy created by false generalizations and stereotypes, and will be encouraged to develop tolerance and empathy towards different cultures. By comparing L1 and L2 similarities and differences learners will better understand, in terms of identity, their own place within the spectrum of cultures. Some scholars have heavily criticised ELT professionals and materials for their hegemonic tendencies. This paper, however, argues that teaching languages and culture naturally involves some sort of exclusionary practices which should not necessarily be viewed as hegemonic. The selection of a specific linguistic or cultural model, be it British or American English or other varieties, should not be viewed as an imposition of hegemony, but rather as a necessary means to achieve some kind of intelligibility.

In this paper I will use the Bakhtinian notion of polyphony,1 of a choral dialogue of multiple and heterogeneous voices, to elaborate a pluralistic account of cultural identity in general and of Hispanic identity in particular. I will complicate and further pluralize the Bakhtinian notion by talking about the overlapping and criss-crossing dialogues of heterogeneous voices that go into the formation of cultural identities. My pluralistic view emphasizes that cultural identity is bound up with differences and opposes those homogeneous models that try to impose a unique articulation of collective identity on the members of a group. Although I will not explicitly discuss the complex relations between cultural identity and racial and ethnic identity,2 my pluralistic view underscores that racial and ethnic elements are crucial components of cultural identity and of its heterogeneous nature; and I oppose those contemporary views that talk about “post-ethnic” and “post-racial” identities, trying to purify individual and collective identities of racial and ethnic meanings.3
