Research On The Generation Mechanism Of Identity Crisis From The Perspective Of Cross-cultural Communication

With the in-depth development of globalization,individuals are faced with many intercultural communication situations which are often the best places to breed identity/identification crises.Based on the exploration of the nature of identity/identification and identity/identification crisis,this paper attempts to conduct a comprehensive and in-depth study of the generation mechanism of identity/identification crisis in the context of intercultural communication.Identity/identification is an interdisciplinary issue,while this paper attempts to restore identity/identification to the level of ontology,and explain the relation between identity/identification and communication,highlighting its communication implications.First of all,this paper restores identity/identification to the identified process of association between me and the world preceding me.Then,from the perspective of association and practice,this paper refers communication to a universal and thorough process of association between people and people,people and things,things and things.In contrast,as an individual-centered practical association process,identity/identification emphasizes the directionality of the internalization and realization process and reflects the purpose and willingness of people.At the same time,where there is tension in the process,there is identity/identification crisis.Next,based on the theoretical analysis of the eight identity crises in eigentlich and fallen states,this paper specifically analyzes the identity/identification crises of cultural conflict,cultural integration and globalization from the perspective of intercultural communication.At the level of cultural conflict,this paper explores the mechanism of identity/identification crisis from the processes of internalization and realization.On one hand,the internalization process corresponds to the selection of the possibility of individual identity/identification association,and the key to solve the identity/identification crisis at this level is whether there is a dominant public opinion.On the other hand,the identity/identification crisis in the realization process corresponds to the discussion of marginal man.When an individual makes his/her choice to associate with a certain "world" but the association cannot be achieved,the individual will be in a marginal situation.Subsequently,this paper uses "Dancing with Wolves" and "Green Book" as examples to analyze the identity/identification and identity/identification crisis under the conflict of ethnic cultures.At the level of cultural integration and globalization,individuals face double crises of identity/identification.Under the background of cultural integration,individuals are gradually liberated from group,freed from the shackles of public opinion,closer to the eigentlich state,facing the possibility of "to be",but unable to choose,which causes the first identity/identification crisis.This part is analyzed in conjunction with the suicide incident of a Weibo blogger.The second identity/identification crisis is caused by the "enclosure" of commercial culture.Firstly,commercial culture directly commercializes the biological nature of human to meet consumer's demand to the greatest extent;secondly,with the help of media,the "public opinion" of commercial culture occupies an almost absolute dominant position within individual;what's more,the self-realization under commercial culture is a process of instant gratification which never ends.As a result,the possible association of "to be" is materialized and fixed on the commodity which is full of symbolic value,eliminating other possibilities,resulting in the tension with the most primitive sociality.The identity/identification crisis in this context is an opportunity for us to fight commercial culture.In this paper,there is no negative meaning in identity/identification crisis,on the contrary,it is normal in life.We need to know the generation mechanism of identity/identification crisis,and take a positive attitude towards it.
