Abstract

This paper proposes to analyze the process of mingling of Chinese identity in the American-born Chinese graphic novel, published in 2006, written by Gene Luen Yang. The novel tells the story of Chinese immigrants from diverse social and ethnic backgrounds in the United States. They have to mingle their identity by mimicking the American culture to survive in the US society. In Bhabha's postcolonial theory, the mingling process is related to mimicry to negotiate identities. The Chinese immigrants tried to mimic the American culture and sustain their Chinese identity on the other side. From these two things, mimicry can be formed because of the process of ambivalence; these concepts are one of the formations of mimicry of culture. It is proposed not only to resist the stereotypical images associated to Chinese identities in the US but also to reveal the product of hybridity as a zone of resistance and creativity.

Abstract

The phenomenon of language extinction has become a global cultural issue that threatens the sustainability of the identity, traditional knowledge, and social cohesion of the communities that speak them. This study developed and tested a cultural education model, Kulturaviva, to revitalize endangered languages through a culture- and community-based approach. This model integrates linguistic aspects, cultural values, and local traditions in a contextually grounded, participatory learning process. The research design used a User Acceptance Testing (UAT) approach to assess the effectiveness, functionality, and user acceptance of the model, implemented across several communities speaking local languages. The trial results showed a high success rate for the participatory and collaborative approach (82%) and the effectiveness of native speakers in language learning (89%). Cultural activity-based learning showed a moderate success rate (64%), with 36% of participants not achieving the expected targets. 18% of activities required revalidation due to differences in social context and field dynamics. The participant satisfaction rate reached 80%, indicating that the community well received the model. However, improvements are needed in integrating educational technology, accommodating variations in learning methods, and adapting to the local characteristics of each community. Overall, Kulturaviva has proven effective as a cultural education model for saving endangered languages. This approach not only contributes to linguistic preservation but also strengthens cultural identity, fosters language pride, and builds cultural resilience amidst globalization.
