재외동포 다문화가정 부모와 자녀의 언어·문화 정체의식 발달 연구 -프랑스 거주 한-불 가정 이중언어 교육과 정체성 함양을 중심으로-

This study used qualitative research methods to analyze the practical aspects of bilingual education and the processes of linguistic and cultural identity formation among the second generation of Korean-French multicultural families settled in France through international marriage. The findings are as follows: First, children's acquisition of bilingualism is influenced by their parents' attitudes toward bilingual education, with the French father's role having a greater impact on a family's linguistic balance than the Korean mother's. These findings highlight how parents' linguistic roles affect the dynamics of culture and language within a family, necessitating a reconsideration of bilingual education. Second, the challenges of bilingual education include setting a standard for bilingualism, addressing issues related to language mixing, and managing differences in the status of languages. Third, the correlation between bilingualism and identity formation suggests that when an individual's linguistic identity and cultural belonging are harmoniously integrated, a stronger sense of identity emerges. Additionally, the linguistic and cultural challenges faced by bilingual children and the process of overcoming those challenges are integral to their identity formation process. This research offers valuable insights into bilingual education for children from multicultural families and their cultural identity development, addressing the relatively insufficient studies on the complex identity issues faced by children of multicultural families living abroad.

The Cultural Structure of Society and the Role of Communication in Forming Cultural Identity – Relevant Aspects for Social Work

Culture is one of the basic components of society, which objectively reflects the state of a people, a nation or a group of people, its level of emancipation and development, both macrosocially and microsocially. Over time, society has been built on the cultural proficiency of individuals, groups and peoples, transposed into their history through artistic and cultural creations in literature, music, sculpture, architecture, religion, science, philosophy, sociology and politology. The components, characteristics and elements that comprise the culture of a community shape its cultural identity, thus building its social identity. National identity is built by cumulation of the elements composing the social identity of all the communities occupying a certain geographical space. When members of a community come into contact with social groups that adhere to different cultural elements, intercultural adaptation begins. The process is marked by the mutual communication of cultural particularities and the negotiation of the values ​​related to these particularities, and through this communicative process the individuals undergo a certain degree of intercultural transformation, corresponding to the degree of communication they had. The purpose of this article is to theoretically analyze the relevant connections, for the field of social work, between the cultural structure of society and communication within the process of cultural identity formation.

The education concept and its false dichotomies

Introduction: The conceptual complexity inherent in the term "education" has been associated with numerous analyses from various disciplinary approaches, paradigms, and theoretical currents. Objective: This article aims not to offer a univocal definition of the meaning of education but to consider it from a sociological perspective that integrates the false dichotomies of individual/society, continuity/discontinuity, and reproduction/change. Development: In the first part, the text presents a theoretical proposal on the articulation between culture, identity, and memory. Culture is understood as the set of objectified and subjectivized forms in historically specific contexts, which provides the individual with intersubjective elements for identity formation, where memory acts as an active dialogue between the psycho-individual and the socio-collective dimension. In the second part, education is proposed as a complex and dynamic process of cultural communication, identity formation, and social construction of memory. It emphasizes the importance of analyzing education from a theoretical perspective that considers the interaction between the individual and society, offering the possibility to understand its crucial role in processes of social reproduction and continuity, as well as in those of change and discontinuity. Conclusions: The mentioned false dichotomies in approaches to studying education polarize and create an antagonism between structures and subjects, individual and society, and reproduction and social change, consequently providing little understanding of how these phenomena articulate with educational processes, overlooking the multiple possibilities of co-participation and mutual determination.

PHENOMENOLOGY OF THE PROJECT CULTURE OF THE TEACHER

Consideration of the integrative-axiological approach as a methodological basis and its ascertainment in the logic of project culture formation determines the possibility and expediency of its application in the context of systemic, multi-subject, personal-activity, cultural approaches.The most important condition for the implementation of the integrative and axiological approach is the personal orientation of the pedagogical process, which allows considering the pupil and the teacher as its equal components, and the content of education as a generalized culture intended for the formation of norms, values, interests of the individual, which contribute to its formation. Following this approach, the process of project culture formation is interpreted and implemented as co-creation.Modern trends in the field of education require a rethinking of the main approaches to the organization of the educational process, provide for the transformation of processes related to personality development. This, in turn, determines the necessity active involvement of student youth in project activities. Project activities contribute to the search for optimal ways, systematic and consistent solving of problems, in particular life problems. It is the implementation of projects in both educational and future professional activities that ensures the development of critical thinking, creativity, independence and requires the proper level of project culture formation. Thus, in the context of modern approaches, the design activity of specialists in various fields, and, therefore, the formation of their project cultures.It has been established that the teacher's project culture, as the most important component of a new type of pedagogical professionalism, is the fundamental basis for theoretical modeling, conceptualization, technologization and practical-project activities in the emerging new reality of education.The formation of project culture among students is facilitated by the provision of psychological-pedagogical, organizational-pedagogical and technological conditions in the educational process. Evaluation of the effectiveness of formative work is carried out on the basis of the dynamics of the levels of formation of the studied phenomenon.

Defying grand narratives of ‘being an international student’: finding ‘home’ in the Other

The PhD students in this study create a sense of being at home as part of their own way of being themselves. Their programme requires and allows considerable autonomy in how they choose to be with the people around them. Different to common expectations of the ‘international student’, their nationality and its ‘culture’ being apart from the ‘culture’ they find is not the major factor. Instead they draw resources from their personal cultural trajectories within which their lives in Britain form another stage in a lifelong journey of identity construction. They do not ‘assimilate’ in the expected sense. Their friends are not mainly ‘British’. Their brought multilingualism is characteristic of a natural hybridity that prepares them to be different selves in diverse social locations and with people of diverse origin on and off campus through an ongoing negotiation process of small culture formation on the go.

The Transcultural Identity of Japanese-Filipino Children in Tokyo, Japan

This ethnography is an inquiry on the transcultural identity of Japanese-Filipino Children (JFC) who are situated in a multi-cultural context in the city of Tokyo, Japan. In theoretical sense, the analysis centers on culturally nomadic individuals who are active agents in the formation of their cultural identities, rather than being passive repository of social and cultural influences. The cultural identities of JFC are navigated within a transcultural milieu that is perpetuated by Japanese and Filipino cultural background of their parents. The salient cultural identities of JFC include being religious, sociable, hospitable, respectful to elders, patient, hopeful, humble, resilient, hardworking, innovative and resourceful, contented and happy, multilingual, and preference for Filipino food. These cultural identities are unique in contrast to pure Japanese children and correspondingly distinguish them as JFC in Tokyo.

A Study of the Translation of Mo Yan's Frog From the Perspective of Domestication and Foreignization

Mo Yan is a famous Chinese writer. He has become the first Chinese to win the Nobel Prize in literature. Frog is one of Mo Yan's masterpieces. His works were strongly influenced by magical realism and told the legend which took place in Gaomi, Shandong Province, during the Cultural Revolution and the early years of reform and opening up. Different countries have different cultural formation processes, which have led to creating their culture-loaded words. Culture-loaded words refer to the words, phrases, and idioms used to signify objects peculiar to specific cultures. These culture-loaded words and expressions are the direct reflections of the unique features of Chinese culture. The translator needs to avoid errors and omissions in translation, especially when translating cultural information. Based on domestication and foreignization translation strategies, this article takes Howard Goldblatt's English translation of Mo Yan's Frog as the research object to explore the translation and effect of cultural-loaded words in the novel. The translator uses foreignization and domestication strategies to explain and convey these Chinese characteristics. It achieves faithfulness to the original text and flexibly handles culture-loaded words with Chinese characteristics, ensuring the attractiveness and affinity of the translated text. The research on the English translation of the Chinese culture-loaded words in the novel is helpful for foreign readers to understand and accept the culture with Chinese characteristics.

Theatricality and Race in William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and Raquel Carrió and Flora Lauten’s Otra tempestad

Otra tempestad was performed at La Habana’s Teatro Buendía in 1997, with dramaturgy by Raquel Carrió and Flora Lauten.2 This play marked a new direction in Latin American rewritings of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest. This tradition began with Ruben Darío, Paul Groussac and José Enrique Rodó, who discussed the image of Caliban in relation to the United States and its intervention in Latin America. The climax of these rewritings came with authors such as George Lamming, Frantz Fanon, Aimé Césaire, Kamau Brathwaite and Roberto Fernández Retamar. Their readings and understanding of the play vindicate the image of Caliban and emphasize the processes of colonization in the context of the Cuban Revolution, the Négritude Movement, and the decolonization of the Caribbean. Continuing with this tradition, Carrió and Lauten composed their play focusing on the processes of globalization and the new millennium (Flaherty 102), transferring their focus to the experimentation with new ways of understanding theatricality and Cuban identity through dialogue, establishing a counterpoint with The Tempest. Carrió herself has stated that rewriting the plot of the Shakespearean play became more complex by the end of the century (“Otra” 159). This results in a temporal and thematical distance with Césaire’s rewriting and the Caribbean tradition of the 50s and 60s because, for Carrió, it is not enough to negate the language of the colonizer but researching the process of cultural formation through cultural contact is also needed (“Otra” 159). The main gesture that the dramaturges offer comes from the title itself. By entitling it Otra tempestad (Another Tempest), Carrió/Lauten include the play in relation to Césaire’s play Une Tempête (A Tempest). […] By María José Cornejo

The article includes authentic texts from the factory edition. The materials of the newspaper "For Heavy Engineering" are conditionally divided into several blocks–"visiting performances", "tours", "amateur art", "organizational work", "reviews (including impressions and gratitude from the audience)", "performance announcements", "information about theater figures of the capital, republican and Sverdlovsk theaters"--and arranged chronologically . Theatrical life in the period from 1934 to 1939 at Uralmash was diverse, interesting and eventful. The strategy of building a cultural policy in the "sotsgorod" Uralmash was aimed at ensuring the accessibility of theatrical art by all categories of citizens. Theaters, as social institutions, built their activities and repertoire policy, correlating them with the slogan of that time – "Art should belong to the people." The factory's multi-edition "For Heavy Engineering" played a significant role in this process. Being the only mass media, the newspaper formed the theatrical culture of Uralmash residents. The newspaper provided coverage of events related to theatrical activity in all their aspects. The analysis makes it possible to restore the undeservedly forgotten history of cultural formation processes during the emergence of the Soviet society

Universities, especially in the United States, have developed from an organization that aims to educate someone with a higher knowledge and spiritual awareness of God which is at the same time related to the interests and goodness of society (Murphy, 2005) into an organization that considers profit as a measure of success (Bridgman, 2007). Therefore, the application of a business management system to manage a university to produce high performance is important and this is known as a university enterprise or entrepreneurial university (Sandgren, 2012). Culture is central to management because it influences various things in the organization such as leadership, organizational management, adaptability, performance, and others that will influence in the long run (Paksoy, Genc, and Kilic, 2015). In the context of a Christian-based university in Indonesia, the understanding of cultural meanings and the process of cultural formation is an interesting topic to study. Even though it has a fundamental similarity, namely Cristianity, it appears that there are different management practices and behaviours in 'A' rank accreditation Christian university on Java island. The process of cultural formation in Christian universities and its elaboration in management practices and patterns of organizational behaviour are things that are rarely studied.

Students reported that doing blogs was entertaining, motivating, and beneficial to their critical thinking, writing skills, and communication competency.

UKRAINIAN-BELARUSIAN CULTURAL TIES IN THE 1920S ON THE EXAMPLE OF COOPERATION OF THE MAGAZINE «MUZYKA» (“MUSIC”) WITH YULIAN DREJZIN

The study of Ukrainian-Belarusian cultural ties has significant research potential due to typologically similar processes of cultural and national formation of the two neighboring nations, which was especially pronounced in the 1920s. One of the important factors in this was the Bolshevik strategy of indigenization in the national regions of the Soviet Union. Almost simultaneously, there was a surge in literature and art in both republics. The lack of special studies that would cover these joint processes in the field of music culture, actualized the disclosure of this topic. The purpose of the article is to study the peculiarities of cooperation between the editorial board of the magazine «Muzyka» (“Music”) (publisher – a determining factor in the development of Ukrainian musical culture of the 1920s – Mykola Leontovych All-Ukrainian Music Society) and a leading Belarusian musicologist, one of the founders of Belarusian historical musicology Yu. Drejzin and explore their correspondence as an example of close UkrainianBelarusian cultural ties in the 1920s. To achieve this goal, historical, biographical and source research methods were used. In the autumn of 1924, P. Kozytsky, the editor of the Music, and Yu. Masyutin, the secretary, took the initiative to establish contact with Belarusian artists. The following year, communication began with Yu. Drejzin. His works include the study «Music and Revolution» (1921), the dictionary «Musical Terms» (1926), the libretto of M. Aladov’s opera «Taras on Parnassus» (1927), scholarly and critical articles, a huge number of Belarusian translations from ancient Greek literature, as well as texts from Western European vocal works. Ukrainian musicologists of that time were interested in similar tasks. Cooperation with Ukrainian colleagues coincided with the beginning of Drejzin’s active critical and journalistic activity. His investigations into Belarusian music and the work of contemporary composers were published in the Ukrainian magazines “Muzyka” (1925) and «Radians’ka Muzyka» («Soviet Music») (1933), and in the Kyiv newspaper “Proletars’ka Pravda” («Proletarian truth») and the Belarusian magazine “Polymya” (“Flame”) (both in 1926) – posts about the existence of Belarusian songs in the repertoire of the band “Dumka”. According to the correspondence, Yu. Drejzin was initially irritated by misunderstandings that occurred in his collaboration with magazine “Muzyka”. He complained about the delay of magazines with his articles, had complaints about the amount of royalties. However, after the secretary of the magazine told him in detail about the catastrophic financial condition of the publication, Yu. Drejzin completely changed his mind: he admired the fantastic dedication of the editorial board and even envied the ideology of Ukrainian artists. The collaboration of the Ukrainian magazine “Muzyka” with the Belarusian musicologist Yu. Drejzin is an organic part of the Ukrainian-Belarusian cultural cooperation, which was significantly intensified during the national upsurge of the 1920s. Drejzin’s interest in the cultural ties between the two republics was reflected in the magazines of the time, in which he published his musicological research. Peculiarities of Drejzin’s cooperation with the magazine “Muzyka” are documented in correspondence with the secretary of the magazine Yu. Masyutin. The value of these letters lies both in their factual content and in reflecting the evolution of the Belarusian scientist’s attitude to Ukrainian colleagues and his willingness to borrow the professional experience of Ukrainians.
