| مستخلص: | In this study the identities of youth, ages 11−12, who live in a multicultural neighbourhood in Geneva, Switzerland were investigated. In an attempt to capture the multiple dimensions that comprise these identities, the authors generated a methodological approach that allowed participants to describe themselves in their own terms. Using the metaphor of a flower, they developed a "cultural flower," in which respondents fill in the many petals descriptors they choose to represent themselves. In addition to this open-ended qualitative approach, a sociometric questionnaire was also administered. Three main categories emerged from this study: individual social identities, territorial collective identities, and cultural heritage identities. From these findings, it is suggested that the identities of youth in this sample cannot be reduced to only one descriptive element such as nationality or ethnicity. Rather, these findings suggest that youth have multidimensional identities that may be expressed in "youth culture" (music, clothes, sports). This study stimulates the area of research on intercultural relations by highlighting commonalties among youth from varying cultural backgrounds who live in a multicultural neighbourhood. U ovom istraživanju ispitivani su identiteti mladih u dobi od 11 do 12 godina koji žive u multikulturnom okruženju u Ženevi, Švicarska. U pokušaju da obuhvate višestruke dimenzije koje sadržavaju te identitete, autori su izradili metodološki pristup koji dopušta ispitanicima da opišu sebe vlastitim izrazima. Koristeći metaforu cvijeta, razvili su »cvijet kultura« u kojem su ispitanici ispunili onoliko latica s deskriptorima koliko su odabrali da ih najbolje mogu predstaviti. Pokraj ovog otvorenog kvalitativnog pristupa, korišten je i sociometrijski upitnik. Istraživanjem su otkrivene tri glavne kategorije: individualni društveni identiteti, teritorijalni kolektivni identiteti i identiteti kulturnog naslijeđa. Ti rezultati sugeriraju da se identiteti mladih iz ovog uzorka ne mogu reducirati na samo jedan deskriptivni element kao što je nacionalnost ili etničnost. Rezultati zapravo sugeriraju da mladi imaju višedimezionalne identitete koji se mogu izraziti kroz »kulturu mladih« (glazba, odjeća, šport). Ovo istraživanje potiče područje istraživanja o interkulturnim odnosima ističući općenitosti među mladima iz različitih kulturnih pozadina koji žive u multikulturnom okruženju. |
