	A Discursive-Semiotic Approach to Translating Cultural Aspects in Persuasive Advertisements
		The cultural identity of a specific group or society is an image referring to external as well as internal characteristics of that group.
		However, a culture must be located in time and space to "anchor" it in terms of its past, future and place and to indicate or compare changes that took place within that culture.
		Afrikaans and the Afrikaner culture were acts of defiance and against the British rulers, and created cultural unity; until 1948 it was the language of the oppressed, and not the oppressor as it was later held.

	Cultural Identity
		Students who want to change cultural identities generally also want to change their linguistic identification badge; such a shift before a critical level of first language competence has been achieved may result in 'semilingualism'[2] --full competence in no language.
		The minority culture first learned by many limited English speakers in the United States is comparable to the 'Low' (L) variety of a language as it is described by Ferguson, and the dominant American culture to the 'High' (H) variety of a national language.
		A major hazard in teaching a second culture is that students may reject parts of their native culture without knowing or accepting comparable parts of the second, or that they will find themselves repeatedly facing cultural interference as the rules or values of one conflict with the other in a single situation or domain.

	Mexico City Declaration on Cultural Policies, World Conference on Cultural Policies Mexico City, 26 July - 6 August ...
		Cultural identity is a treasure that vitalizes mankind's possibilities of self-fulfilment by moving every people and every group to seek nurture in its past, to welcome contributions from outside that are compatible with its own characteristics, and so to continue the process of its own creation.
		Culture is dialogue, the exchange of ideas and experience and the appreciation of other values and traditions; it withers and dies in isolation.

	Cultural Identity and Asian Modernization
		Modern nation-states in the West and in Asia have from time to time cloaked themselves in the mantle of national cultural identity at the very moment that they were destroying genuine traditional culture in the effort to centralize and enhance state power.
		Here "cultural identity" is a useful synonym for tradition, especially since "identity" does not have the pejorative implication in modern social science that tradition does.
		To say that a person has a strong sense of identity is to say that that person has integrity, coherence and continuity so that he or she is able to maintain a consistent life pattern with overall purposes and meanings.

	Cultural identity - WikEd
		Cultural identity has beome a heated topic for both educators and policy makers.
		McKay and Wong (1996)investigate the identities that associated with academic, particularly their English language development of four Chinese high school students immigrated to the U.S. The researchers identified four social contexts where the focal students were situated: colonialist/racialized discourses on immigrants, Chinese cultural nationalist discourses, social and academic school discourses, and gender discourses.
		However, the fact that educators and parents failed to recognize the negotiation of students aggravated the literacy situation of the focal children that led to students’ confrontation and verbal spar with the teacher at school, and the lack of communication between parents and teachers that contributed to their children’s marginalization.

	Cultural Citizenship and the Creation of European Identity
		Cultural citizenship and European identity are considered two contemporary and circulating discourses on the relationship between cultural identity and citizenship.
		Cultural citizenship is the oxymoron that some American anthropologists use to describe chicano's claims and ideas on citizenship, in certain towns of certain states of the United States (Rosaldo 1994a, 1994b, 1994c).
		As cultural citizenship is to a country built upon civil, political and social citizenship, European identity amounts to a surprise in a continent that is said to have come back from too many experiences of the drama of too much "identity".

	National identity and the politics of multiculturalism
		To the degree that the culture of nationalism is rigidly exclusive and defines its membership in terms of narrowly based common culture, nationalism tends to be xenophobic, authoritarian, and expansionist'' (44).
		The new nationalism also posits national identity against the ability of different groups to articulate and affirm their histories, languages, cultural identities, and traditions through the shifting and complex relations in which people imagine and construct national and postnational social formations'' (50).
		More important is his theoretical indifference to counter-narratives of difference, diaspora, and cultural identity that explore how diverse groups are constructed within an insurgent multiculturalism, which engage the issue both of what holds us together as a nation and of what constitutes our differences from each other.

	Cultural Identity and Ideology
		If this is correct, the pairing of ‘cultural identity and ideology’ might seem an odd one, yoking together the new preoccupation with the old. In fact, however, there is a certain continuity between the contemporary discussion of identity and past work in Cultural Studies, which took theorising and analysing ideology as its central concern.
		Distinctive features of the new cultural politics of difference are to trash the monolithic and homogenous in the name of diversity, multiplicity and heterogeneity; to reject the abstract, general and universal in light of the concrete, specific, and particular; and to historicise, contextualise, and pluralise by highlighting the contingent, provisional, variable, tentative, shifting, and changing.
		Cultural identity…is a matter of “becoming” as well as of “being”. It belongs to the future as much as to the past. It is not something which already exists, transcending place, time, history and culture. Cultural identities come from somewhere, have histories. But, like everything which is historical, they undergo constant transformation.

	Hall, Stuart
		Cultural identities...Far from being eternally fixed in some essentialised past, they are subject to the continuous 'play' of history, culture and power.
		Cultural identities are the points of identification, the unstable points of identification or suture, which are made, within the discourses of history and culture.
		The cultural politics of difference means living with incommensurability through new ethical and democratic frameworks, within a culture that both recognises difference and is commited to resolving its antagomisms.

	Mohanty: "The Epistemic Status of Cultural Identity. . ."
		She comes to this knowledge by discovering or understanding features of the social and cultural arrangements of her world that define her sense of self, the choices she is taught to have, the range of personal capacities she is expected to exploit and exercise.
		Alice's gendered identity is theoretically constructed, to be sure, insofar as she elaborates and consolidates it in the context of the consciousness-raising group and the alternative descriptions of the world she encounters and debates there.
		The collective identity Alice consciously forges through reexamination of the accepted cultural meanings and values, the given definition of her personal and political interests, is then as much her discovery as it is a construction.

	Cultural cloning or hybrid cultures?
		To raise the issue of culture today is to position oneself at the crossroads of two forces, globalization and the persistence of national identity, that are both contradictory and intertwined.
		Although cultures remain anchored in their national contexts, it is increasingly hard to believe that the traditional concepts of identity, people and nation are inviolable.
		A cloned culture is an aborted culture, because when a culture ceases to be interdependent, it ceases to be a culture.

	CULTURAL IDENTITY AND ETHNOCENTRISM
		Cultural identity is sometimes closely related to the term “ethnocentrism”.
		We all are born into a human culture, and it is the culture that shapes our self-awareness and understanding of other individuals.
		All cultures are subject to external influences, but cultural xenophobia is often narrowly directed, for instance at foreign loan words in a national language.

	Overview of Cultural Identity in the United States
		Culture cannot exist in isolation any more than an economy or a social and political life can exist outside of culture.(2) There needs to be a balance between a society’s own identity and roots and external influences; an intermixing of ideas, images, values, modes of social and political organization, objects, techniques, and know-how.
		National identities are not things we are born with, but they are formed and transformed “within and in relation to representation”.(5) Through national identity, we form a national culture.
		Cultural identification in the United States is not something that is simple to discuss.

	South Korea Cultural Identity
		National self-image is, on one level, unambiguously defined by the convergence of territorial, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural identities.
		Problems of cultural identity are closely connected to the tragedy of Korea's division into two hostile states.
		The literature of Korean cultural distinction is strikingly similar to Japanese attempts to prove the "uniqueness" of their own cultural heritage, although "proof" of Japan's uniqueness is usually drawn from examples of Western countries (the significant "other" for modernized Japanese).
