People with intercultural background may experience this process as especially challenging because their individual development of identity as well as their individual aspirations and goals may be out of line with collective identity markers linked to ethnicity, gender and culturally defined collective interests (Huynh, Nguyen, & Benet-Martínez, 2012). It describes how and why people tell their constructed, autobiographical story with an inner storyline of characters, plots, turning points and possible outcomes (McAdams, 2012 McAdams, 2013 McAdams & Guo, 2015).īuilding identity in the context of our complex modern time may be a lifelong self-realization project (Giddens, 1991). Narrative identity as understood in psychology and sociology is the core theoretical concept of this study. Sociology and social psychology view identity as reflexively negotiated in a reciprocal relationship between self and society often expressed in narratives (Castells, 2011 Stryker & Burke, 2000 Vignoles, Schwartz, & Luyckx, 2012). Identity is an important aspect of the development of personality and creates conditions for learning, development and participation in society (Castells, 2011 Giddens, 1991). This is particularly important in the field of education in order to ensure a safe and productive daily life for all students. Most areas of our society need intercultural cooperation and dialogue in order to maintain a sound and inclusive democracy.

Artikkelen baserer seg på erfaringene til to dramalærere fra et anvendt teaterprosjekt og en teaching artist / kunstnerisk leder fra et annet, begge prosjektene opererer i interkulturell kontekst. Identitetsprosesser kan være ekstra utfordrende for mennesker med interkulturell bakgrunn. Forskning understreker at hvordan et individ mestrer identiteten sin påvirker hvordan livet mestres. Keywords: Narrative identity intercultural identity applied theatre aesthetic educational practice intercultural educationĭenne studien tar utgangspunkt i konseptet narrativ identitet og undersøker hvordan anvendt drama kan tilby en arena og metoder som støtter en identitetsutvikling som er spesielt gunstig i interkulturell kontekst. The interpretation and analysis of the theory related to practice makes visible how aesthetic processes of negotiating and staging life stories (narratives), through applied theatre methods, facilitate participant’s exploring, constructing, re-constructing and meta-reflecting own identity. The article builds on the experiences of two drama teachers and one teaching artist / artistic leader.
A case study of two intercultural applied theatre projects was used to address the research question. Research shows that how you master your identity affects how you master your life. Identity and identity processes may be extra challenging to people with intercultural backgrounds. The aim of this study is to investigate how applied theatre can facilitate arenas and methods to support identity development particularly favorable to an intercultural context, explored through the concept of narrative identity.
