In this context rose also the rap music. It has a huge popularity for young people with migration background. However rappers do write a lot about their French or German identity. The goal of this work is to explain the paradox : how can people with migration background, expressing critics against the racism they regard as omnipresent, still feel fully French/German? We divided the work between following chapters: Context, methodology and theories (I); analysis of different identity forms within the text corpus (II); analysis of the way rappers see their society in three chronological steps (III-V); case studies of Kery James in France and Samy Deluxe in Germany (VI).}, language = {fr} } @article{VietzeSchwarzenthalMoffittetal.2022, author = {Vietze, Jana and Schwarzenthal, Miriam and Moffitt, Ursula and Civitillo, Sauro}, title = {Beyond 'migrant background': how to select relevant, social justice oriented, and feasible social categories in educational research}, series = {European journal of psychology of education}, volume = {38}, journal = {European journal of psychology of education}, number = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {0256-2928}, doi = {10.1007/s10212-022-00611-2}, pages = {389 -- 408}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Across continental Europe, educational research samples are often divided by 'migrant background', a binary variable criticized for masking participant heterogeneity and reinforcing exclusionary norms of belonging. This study endorses more meaningful, representative, and precise research by offering four guiding questions for selecting relevant, social justice oriented, and feasible social categories for collecting and analysing data in psychological and educational research. Using a preregistered empirical example, we first compare selected social categories ('migrant background', family heritage, religion, citizenship, cultural identification, and generation status) in their potential to reveal participant heterogeneity. Second, we investigate differences in means and relations between variables (discrimination experiences, perceived societal Islamophobia, and national identity) and academic motivation among 1335 adolescents in Germany (48\% female, M-age = 14.69). Regression analyses and multigroup SEM revealed differential experiences with and implications of discrimination for academic motivation. Results highlight the need for a deliberate, transparent use of social categories to make discrimination visible and centre participants' subjective experiences.}, language = {en} } @article{MoffittNardonZhang2020, author = {Moffitt, Ursula E. and Nardon, Luciara and Zhang, Hui}, title = {Becoming Canadian}, series = {International journal of intercultural relations}, volume = {78}, journal = {International journal of intercultural relations}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0147-1767}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijintrel.2019.06.004}, pages = {84 -- 95}, year = {2020}, abstract = {We investigate how economic immigrants in Canada negotiate their identity in the process of "becoming Canadian" through an analysis of public texts. Drawing on the master narrative framework, we examine the interplay between individual and societal narratives as immigrants grapple with the tension between notions of "desirable" immigrants as those that are well integrated professionally and the reality of facing career related barriers. Among those whose success stories align with the master narrative of professional attainment there was little questioning of this expectation, thereby allowing it to remain invisible. Among those who had not (yet) achieved work related success in the receiving country, they tended to engage alternative narratives elaborating on the antecedents, outcomes, and barriers to labor market participation. Despite the countering nature of these alternative narratives, they strengthen the societal expectation of professional success as a key pathway to inclusion, thereby reinforcing the rigidity of this narrative. We contribute to literature on the social construction of national identity by examining the process of becoming national and the role of labor market participation in immigrants' perceptions of inclusion in their new society. Our study highlights the importance of including immigrants' voices in the construction of a more inclusive society, which may aid in breaking down exclusionary narratives of national identity.}, language = {en} } @misc{Stachowski2009, type = {Master Thesis}, author = {Stachowski, Maika}, title = {Die kulturelle und nationale Identit{\"a}t in Zeiten der Einwanderung in Argentinien (1880-1930)}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-33385}, school = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam}, year = {2009}, abstract = {Die 1880er Jahre waren der Beginn einer massiven europ{\"a}ischen Einwanderung nach Argentinien. In dieser Arbeit werden kulturelle, politische, wirtschaftliche und demographische Ver{\"a}nderungen f{\"u}r das Land untersucht und welche Auswirkungen diese auf das Selbstverst{\"a}ndnis der argentinischen Intellektuellen und die argentinische Kultur hatten. Die leitende Frage wird sein, wie eine kulturelle und nationale Identit{\"a}t in Zeiten der massiven Einwanderungswellen im Untersuchungszeitraum entstehen konnte. Dabei wird die politisch-historische Entwicklung, d.h. die Konstitution einer nationalen Identit{\"a}t, er{\"o}rtert: Ist Argentinien mit der Unabh{\"a}ngigkeit im Jahre 1810 tats{\"a}chlich wirtschaftlich und politisch eigenst{\"a}ndig geworden ist? Durch Balibars Nationenbegriff wird verifiziert werden, dass sich das Land erst im Untersuchungszeitraum zu einer Nation wandelte, das jedoch eine fragile Identit{\"a}t besaß. Zum anderen werden anhand des Assmannschen Konzeptes des Kulturellen Ged{\"a}chtnisses die Erinnerungskultur und die Ausbildung eines kulturellen Ged{\"a}chtnisses der argentinischen Intellektuellen er{\"o}rtert. Ein einheitliches Bewusstsein f{\"u}r nationale und kulturelle Werte war nicht existent. Dies spiegelte sich in der Literatur, in der Kunst und im Theater im Untersuchungszeitraum wider. Im Laufe der massiven Einwanderungsstr{\"o}me entstand eine neue Gesellschaft, nichtsdestotrotz wurden kulturelle Neuerungen der Einwanderer kaum in die kulturelle Identit{\"a}t integriert. Nicht nur die eigene Kultur wurde verkl{\"a}rt gesehen, sondern auch die europ{\"a}ische Kultur {\"u}berformt und selektiert, dessen Abbild in die argentinische Kultur integriert wurde. Durch diese Arbeit sollen Erkenntnisse aus historischer Sicht gewonnen werden, die bis heute Argentinien und den gesamten s{\"u}damerikanischen Kontinent pr{\"a}gen: die Frage nach der Identit{\"a}t, die in Zeiten massiver Immigration verst{\"a}rkt gestellt wurde.}, language = {de} }
