You will be compiling your bibliography and creating an outline of the changes you will make in this sandbox.

Outline of proposed changes
I intend to edit/contribute to the section titled "History of Cultural Identity." Here are a few ideas for how to go about doing this.


 * Develop the concept of cultural identity and the roots of cultural identity in early anthropological study. Find works or reviews of work by E.B. Tylor and Franz Boas.
 * Write about the impact of colonialism and globalization on cultural identity formation throughout history. The article by Craig Wright, "The Changes to Cultural Identity in a Global World" should provide a start.
 * Consider the role of cultural movements in shaping modern understandings of cultural identity. To begin I will use "Collective Memory and Cultural Identity" as the reference for this section.
 * Include the development of key theoretical frameworks. Originally, I had an article by Stuart Hall titled "Cultural Identity and Diaspora." However, I have to look for another source.

I do not have many other major contributions to the overall article. I will continue to review my sources to see if they could be used within this article.

Jenny Lunte's Outline:

I am most interested in exploring how cultural identity is shaped and shifted in the contexts of social, political, and emotional. I am interested in either adding or contributing to a section about acculturation and biculturalism. Here are a few ideas:


 * Write about the history of colonialism and it's impact on the formation cultural identity. Explore how modern day cultural norms and institutions make these formations seem 'natural', even though they are strongly influenced by colonialism in almost every aspect (representation, stereotypes, cinema, expropriation, belonging, silencing). Use "Black African Cultural Identity," “Cultural Identity and Cinematic Representation,” and "Colonialism and Psychology of Culture."
 * Write about transracial adoption and the effects on individuals who have to navigate two cultural identities while existing in their prescribed environment. Discuss concepts of acculturation and assimilation, and how these are influenced by the yearning for a certain cultural identity. I want to use "Cultural Identity Conflict and Psychological Well-Being in Bicultural Young Adults: Do Self-Concept Clarity and Self-Esteem Matter?" and "Reclaiming culture: Reculturation of transracial and international adoptees."
 * I am interested in adding a small piece from the Tourism article. It interests me because it dives into issues of appropriation and "placeless". It prompts questions like, what is authentic? And what pieces of culture are commodified and exploited for profit? How does this contribute to the degradation of individuals who are indigenous to that culture? What do they have to lose for others to gain?
