Dans ma thèse, je m'inspire de la refléxionautobiographique de Mitchell et Weber (1999) qui l'explore en utilisant des images pourinciter la mémoire ainsi en tant que textes visuels qui peuvent être lus, interprétés, etreconstruits. S'engageant dans ma propre réflexion autobiographique, j'emploi le travail demémoire et la construction et l'analyse des textes visuels comme manière d'explorerl'identité des femmes et les moyens dont les femmes résistent ou adaptent au peuple et auxsystèmes autour d'eux (y compris mais non limité à, le système d'éducation).Explorant la construction sociale de l'identité des femmes par le travail de laréflexion autobiographique et de mémoire, je mélange une variété d'outils comme approchepratique à créer ce que je viens de considérer comme ma propre méthodologie spécifiquepour faire la réflexion autobiographique: la création d'un Mur vivant de recherche.Collectivement et esthétiquement disposés, les textes d'image créent un grand collage lataille d'un mur dont j'emploi dans mon analyse et interprétation de l'identité des femmes.Cependant, mes textes d'image - mon mur - ne sont pas simplement des outils et des donnéesde recherches, mais forment une création artistique.

Chan, Mandy M. "Impacts of expatriates' international experience on self-identity." Thesis, Pepperdine University, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3635480.
Full textExpatriation is becoming an attractive career path for many people due to the global economic movement. People experience career transitions due to change of organization, locations, responsibilities, reporting structures, and work groups. Expatriates in particular experience more extreme changes because of challenges they encounter from language differences, geographical distance across countries, culture, habit, and life style. These changes influence people's perspective in seeing things, including their self-identity. The aim of this research was to explore the evolvement of expatriates' self-identity.
A qualitative research design using reflexive narrative inquiry was employed. Seven current and former expatriates from Australia, Japan, Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States participated in this study. Through an interview process, these individuals reflected upon and shared their international experience retrospectively. Using expatriates' own narrative, an individual identity transformation story was constructed in order to answer the research question of this study: How does international experience influence a person's self-identity?
Participants noticed significant and previously unknown changes in their behavior and outlook from their assignments. These varied based upon their motives for accepting the assignment, social interaction, work requirements, and personal attitudes. The study reveals that international assignments help expatriates discover the identity that they may not have recognized previously, and affirms and transitions their already known identity to a different level through new learning and relationships from their experiences. Expatriates' enjoyment of their experience is highly influenced by their social interaction and dialogue with others. One of the drawbacks from expatriation, especially for those who are on long-term international assignments and deep immersion in the local culture, is the losing of their definition of home.
As a result of this study, recommendations include an opportunity for organizations to conduct a fit-gap analysis with employees. Results can provide information on employees' level of readiness to take on an international role, and for organizations to better support employees' preparation needs. Onsite coaching and support groups for expatriates can be beneficial to alleviate the stress that occurred during their on-boarding. In addition, expatriates are encouraged to establish their social network in the host country.

Full textThe present dissertation deals with two interconnected issues within the realm of Sinitic-medium literature from Malaysia. The first issue, of a rather general nature, is constituted by contemporary Sinophone Malaysian fiction. The second, of a more restricted scope, is the Chinese Malaysian identity construction and its representation through intraethnic and interethnic interaction in contemporary Sinophone Malaysian fiction. The main goals that I aim to fulfill with my research are to investigate, systematize, critically analyze and partially translate (into English) a specific body of Sinitic-medium fictional writings. The literary corpus presented here has been personally built through a selection among a wider number of short stories (duanpian xiaoshuo 短篇小說) and novellas (zhongpian xiaoshuo 中篇小說) produced by Sinophone Malaysian writers. Through this process of scrutiny, systematization, analysis and translation, I wish to pinpoint a topic which although is less researched in Sinophone Malaysian literary studies, is very often explored by Sinophone Malaysian authors in their creative writings. Hence, I will explore how Chinese Malaysian identity is shaped through the literary representation of two main types of interaction. Firstly, I will examine the literary portrayal of the relationship between the Chinese Malaysian Self and ethnic Chinese people from other geographic locales such as mainland Chinese, Chinese Singaporeans, etc. Subsequently, I will investigate how Sinophone Malaysian writers represent the relationship between Chinese Malaysians and Malaysians of other ethnic heritages such as Malays, aboriginal people from the peninsula and natives of Sarawak.

For this purpose, life-story narratives of people who were born in the early Republican era and of the following generation were collected through oral history methodology. As a result of the analyses of these narratives, multiple, fluid, contextual, and contingent character of identity in terms of the Armenian and Jewish communities in Ankara is pointed, and it is concluded that community identity for the members of these communities was symbolically constructed.

In this globalization era, there is no stable and unitary preference and standard due to the mixed cultures with the diversities and conflictions (Water, 2000). Meanwhile, the deconstruction of the contemporary culture makes the identity and integration even more difficult. Therefore, to seek identity and self-exploration has become an important challenge, especially for the college students who are in the period of pursuing the self-identity and self-value (Erikson, 1968). Many researches showed that modern college students encounter with the crises of seeking values and self-orientation. However, most of the studies were focusing on those issues related to career plans, families and social relationship. There’s lack of comprehensive inquiry about college students’ self-exploring. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current situation of the college students’ self-exploration (SE) by means of quantitative and qualitative approaches. The researcher sent out 500 formal measurement questionnaires island-wide to the college students for investigation. As for the qualitative research, the group and individual interviews were applied to gather SE information. The results of the study were: I. Participants showed significant degree of self-exploration in all four dimisions of exploration. II. The comparison of different background factors for the college students’ SE: 1. The“age” factor did make significant differences. The freshmen and sophomore group had higher degree of self-exploration than the juniors and senior group. 2. There was no significant difference between female and male college students on self-exploration. III. The higher SE degree, the more self-affirmation the college students would have. The theme and content of college students’ SE are including the career plan, the meaning of life, the inner self, and the relationship bonds. The development of college students’ SE were summerized into three stages: the awaking stage, including three concepts: awareness of self-limitation, listing expectation and imagination; the pondering stage (including the dialogues among the different social values, the frame of references, the effects of self-judgment, the self-talk, the redefinition and the alternatives); the implementation stage (including the classification, the specific practice trial and seeking professional assistance). Self-exploration is a increasing need for college students. Therefore, this is an important challenge to the contempery higher education and counseling services. However, since the research on this topic is still at its preliminary stage, further investigations are required to understand college students’ self-exploration and to result in some meangful applications.

The present study originated from a desire to investigate and seek understanding: From the juvenile offenders’ perspectives, how do they perceive themselves? To answer this question, I adopt qualitative research paradigms informed by constructivism, and using self-narrative method to examine how juvenile offenders look at themselves during different critical periods, and what kind of roles they tend to play. Furthermore, the present study inspects how life experiences shape and affect oneself. I will do crossed-validation with relevant research findings. With the help of Chiayi District Court and Ming Yang High School, we have invited five juvenile offenders whom were sentenced to correctional educations or on probation to participate in our study. Through the research participants’ personal narrative, we have obtained the extensive information about self-identity of the subjects in the past, the present and the future. Data collected by the interviewing were analyzed by means of narrative analysis. After comparing the present findings with the available literature, we found that: 1.On the form of personal narrative: The entire narrative form is related to their relationships with the significant others and self-identity states during the interview. 2.On the content of personal narrative: All the research participants began with narration of family aspects occupying with numerous unpleasant experiences. They have encountered the biggest change during the stage of junior high school. During this period, most of them have been involved in adult social activities and joined the gang. Each transaction in the environment drives a shift in self-identity. Several imageries can be seen in their narrative contents, like inappropriate fostering and beaten by their parents, craving for money, treated the hard core of the gang as their role model, etc. 3. On the significant others: Peer groups, parents, and teachers all can alter the research participants’ self-identity shaping process. Among them, teachers have the strongest positive impact on participants obliged to correctional educations. The interaction of relationships is dynamic, some of the relationships have become closely, some are the source of stress, or behavioral model, or the force to induce changes. 4. Life experiences that can affect self-identity: a). lack of psychological support or positive behavior guidance in one’s family experiences. b). violent experiences─doers or victims. c). experiences of being accepted. d). working experiences. e). emergence of behavior model. 5. Self identity of research participants: Self-annotations of their life processes of the research participants under the correctional educations revealed that they concerning their life processes embodied paradoxical past and present self. For instance, Chapfallen (past) to goal hunting (present). This implicates that the turning of self-identity, and fullhearted goals. And the ones of the participants on probation are confused and willy-nilly. 6. On the model of self-identities formation in 5 research participants: (1). Starting point: low self-esteem, or negative self concepts. (2). Encouragement: incidental successful experiences or satisfaction. (3). Persistently reinforcement. (4). shaping the self-identity. (5). New starting point: environmental changes. (6). Different encouragements (7). Gradual formation of new self-identity. (8). Persistently reinforced of new self-identity. (9).Distinct self-identity portrays distinct future blueprints. (10). The process of self-identity formation has become a persistent cycle. Finally, the researcher has focused on the discussion of limitations of the research proposing a direction for future study.
