What is identity? How is one’s identity determined? What factors contribute to a definition of self? To what extent does one’s cultural membership dictate who one is, or how one is perceived by others? These are a few questions we want you to consider during this unit.

To begin with, let’s start by defining culture. How would you define the term culture? Pause this presentation and take a few moments to think about what culture means to you.

• Hopefully you’ve considered those aspects of a particular group that distinguish it from others—like foods, dress, daily routines, beliefs, values. The fact of the matter is it’s difficult to arrive at a definition of culture that takes everything into account. For this unit we’ll focus more on the more global aspects of culture—in essence culture as a way of perceiving, believing, evaluating, and behaving. Culture imposes meaning and order on our experience. Because of the shared sense of meaning, it allows us to predict how others will behave in certain situations. Culture establishes a set of norms that guide our language, behavior, emotions, and thinking within certain situations.

• Let us return to the Dickinson poem. “I’m Nobody, Who are you? Are you nobody too? Then there’s a pair of us—don’t tell. They’d banish us, you know.” The author establishes a clear relationship between herself as a nobody, and the rest—those who’d banish all the nobodies. This is an important aspect of culture that is often overlooked. Cultures establish a codified set of norms that distinguish members from non-members. Culture, therefore, entails an insider/ outsider status.

• But how do we define which group one belongs to? Members of a single culture may identify different attributes that they feel make-up their cultural identity. According to Claire Kramsch, identifiers like ethnicity, race, provenance, nationality, sex, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, and ability are common terms used by individuals to describe their cultural identity. Often these classifiers are in sharp contrast to the attributes “imposed on an individual by a state’s bureaucratic system.” (Kramsch, 1998)

Pause this presentation and think of descriptors people might use associated with:• Race;• Ethnicity;• Regional heritage;• Nationality;• Sex;• Gender;• Religion;• Class;• Sexual orientation;• And ability status.What words do you associate with each of these categories of social identity?

Page 11: Here will be a collage of people that represent a multi-cultural society. Design & Developed by William Behrends, John Balong, and Anja Szustak Web-based

Social Identity and Host Culture•Individuals who claim membership in a group that is marginalized by the host culture will receive subordinate status within that culture.•Our membership status with cultural identity descriptors like, race, religion, gender, nation of origin, and ethnicity is not controllable.

• Depending on one’s social condition—the circumstance in which one lives, some descriptors are valued, or have more bearing over one’s life than others. For many the one language = one culture view defines their understanding of culture. This doesn’t go far enough to describe the dynamic nature of cultural and social identities. Take, for example the story of the following immigrant to Germany.

• While living in Turkey, Mustafa defined himself in terms of his social class, political views, and economic status. Upon his arrival as an immigrant in Germany, he finds himself overwhelmingly defined by his religion, and nationality. In Germany he is seen as a Turk, or a Muslim, whereas in Turkey he was defined by his profession, political affiliation, and economic status.

• The ability to speak a language of a culture is not, in these examples enough to ensure insider status within that culture. Categories of social identity permeate culture and are defined and acknowledged differently by individual members.

• Consider this example (from Kramsch). A young boy overhears two Danish women speaking their native language. Intrigued by what he was hearing he asks, “What’s your culture?” The women didn’t understand what he meant by culture, so he elaborated with, “See, I’m black. That’s my culture. What’s yours?” The women amusingly responded that they spoke Danish and were from Denmark. The boy defines his culture in terms of race; the women defined theirs in terms of language.

• The major categories of social and cultural identity we’ll be looking at this unit involve:• Class;• Race;• Religion;• Language;• This presentation is now over. You may view it again by clicking….Please complete

Introduction to: Meine Kultur

According to our definition of culture, culture is a shared system of perceiving, believing, evaluating, and behaving.

Within a culture individuals express themselves in a variety of ways—the language they speak, the music they listen to, the pictures they create, and the stories that they tell. These representations are based largely on one’s experiences, and are shaped by the culture around them.

In the following poem, you will see how one’s culture is at once a very individual and yet social experience.

Introduction to: Sascha, ein aufrechter Deutscher

Graphic

Die Toten Hosen are a German punk-rock group who belonged to the movement Rock gegen Rechts (Rock against Right-wing radicalism) in the early 1990’s. Their 1992 song Sascha, ein aufrechter Deutscher, was a reaction to a growing tide of violence against foreigners after the opening of the Berlin Wall. The song mentions many of the topics common in discussions of xenophobia: unemployment, foreigners, Jews, attacks on asylum seekers, etc.

Read the lyrics to the song, and consider these questions:

• What ethnic or racial groups are mentioned in the song?• How does Sascha (the main character) think about his cultural identity. • How might he react to the poem Meine Kultur?

Introduction: “Ich bin stolz, ein Deutscher zu sein”

Screen shot of Christian’s T-shirt

Screen shot of Christian

“Ich bin stolz, ein Deutscher zu sein” (I am proud to be a German) is a typical slogan of right-wing radicals in Germany. For them, people who look different or have different customs are not German, even if they were born in Germany. In this video narrative, you’ll meet Christian, a German who is black. Christian wears the slogan, “Ich bin stolz, ein Deutscher zu sein” on his T-shirt as part of a campaign to fight racism in Germany. The campaign aims to turn the right-wing radicals’ slogans to a new purpose: promoting the awareness that there are many different cultural groups that are proud to be German.

As you do the activities in this section of the web site, think about how Christian might view his cultural identity.

Erci Ergün is a musician and DJ at the Berlin radio station SFB 4 Radio Multikulti. Erci is the son of Turkish immigrants, who came to Germany as guest workers after World War II. Erci was born in Germany and he is a German citizen. But he is not sure that German society is willing to accept him (and other Turks) as citizens with equal cultural status. In the following video, we get to know Erci and hear about the problems and emotions he has experienced because of his Turkish origin.

Man denkt, ich bin einfach nicht gewollt. Und wieso eigentlich? Ich bin doch hier geboren. Die Sprache ist das wichtigste. Damit das Zusammenleben funktioniert, bedarf es einer gemeinsamen Sprache. Das müsste jeder Einwanderer begreifen. Erci ist ein Beispiel dafür, dass Intergration nicht bedeutet, dass man seine eigene kulturelle Herkunft aufgeben muss. Seine Songs produziert er auch auf Türkisch. Einwanderer müssen nichts von sich aufgeben. Sie müssen nur den Austausch pflegen können.

I learned a lot in this unit about how multi-culturalism is viewed in Germany.

I was surprised that many of the issues there are also relevant here.

I think Christian’s story was the most interesting. I like how he uses the symbols of the right extremists as anact of identity that makes the symbol less meaningful for the skinheads.

Introduction: Bafa Bafa Cultural Simulation

RationaleThe purpose of this activity is to practicallyengage you in the lessons of this unit. We have examined notions of cultural identity and exploredthe ways in which cultural identities are fluid concepts that change based on the ways one describes their identity, and the status of that identityIn the dominant culture.

The class will be divided into two groups. Each groupwill be given a culture. Some of the attributes of thisculture, like physical gestures and greetings will be Provided. Your group will determine other aspects of your group’s culture through chat on WebCT. When the cultures meet…well, we’ll leave that for class.

Before you learn about your culture, first let’s examineexperiences in your life that may help you to understand Your role in this game.

Notes: •Not all students will have been to another culture, so we provide examples of similar situations because we want everyone to think about this and everyone has been in a similar situation

•Emotional nature of topic encourages us to elicit students’ feelings so they feel their feelings and thoughts are validated

•Metacultural Strategies?(Balong, Behrends, Szustak, 2004)

•We’ve had them do a lot of written reflection. Here we want them to just take a moment to think, but we want it to occur so we’ve prompted them to write it down

Images relating to topic

DirectionsThink about a time that you traveled to anotherculture. A culture here can mean, another country,an unfamiliar area in your own country, or anysituation in which you felt like an outsider.

Let’s say you started a new job. All the people you work with have been working together for years.they’ve developed their own “work language” withwords and phrases that are unfamiliar to you.

How do you feel? What is it like being an outsider in this new setting?

If you’ve been to another country, where the language and culture are different fromyour own, you may have had the experience of feeling completely alone, or uncomfortable with what was going on around you.

How did you react to the new culture? Were their specific behaviors that puzzled you?

Take a few moments before going to the Preparation page to jot down your memories of being an outsider in a new “culture”.

RulesFor this game to work in class you must follow the directions closely. Time will be provided at the start of class for your group to finalize your culture.

You must follow the rules for the game to work!

1. You must not discuss any of the attributes of your culture with members of the otherculture.

2. You have been divided into groups according to several variables. Do not switch groups.

3. Once the two cultures come into contact, you must continue to play your part.4. Only do things your culture allows, do not “break character” before the game is over.
