多元文化视域下的文化身份与建构

The Construction of Cultural Identity under the Background of Multiculturalism

文化身份是确立个体在社会结构中角色与地位的一种文化标示与烙印,表现为个体对某种文化的认同和归属感,具有流变性、层次性、情感性等特征。在全球化多元文化语境下,面对强势文化的渗入与碰撞,个体对自己的文化身份极易产生模糊与焦虑感,从而陷入文化身份危机之中。本文探讨了如何在多元文化语境下建构文化身份的问题,认为个体或群体应当在固守原有文化身份的前提下,采用理性主义原则对外来文化兼收并蓄地进行吸收与融会贯通,从而建构起新型的适应多元文化语境的文化身份。

Cultural identity is a kind of cultural symbol and brand that establishes the individual’s role and position in the social structure,which is characterized by the individual’s identity and belonging to a particular culture,and is characterized by rheological,hierarchical and affective characteristics.Under the background of the global multiculturalism,in the face of the penetration and collision of strong cultures,the individual’s cultural identity is easily blurred and anxious,thus falling into the crisis of cultural identity.Considering how to construct the cultural identity in the multicultural context,this paper holds that individuals should adopt the principle of rationalism to absorb and integrate foreign culture on the basis of adhering to the original cultural identity,so as to construct a new cultural identity adapted to the multicultural context.
