ABSTRACT

This paper extends the communication theory of identity (CTI) through the revision of two of its assumptions and by introducing a fifth frame of identity: the material frame. The theory’s first assumption presents that ‘Identities have individual, enacted, relational, and communal properties’ [Hecht et al., 2003 Hecht, M. L., Jackson, R. L., II, & Ribeau, S. A. (2003). African American communication: Exploring identity and culture. Erlbaum.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], p. 235]. These properties are considered locations or frames in which one can examine identity. The fourth assumption states that identities are ‘affective, cognitive, behavioral, and spiritual’ (Hecht et al., 2003 Hecht, M. L., Jackson, R. L., II, & Ribeau, S. A. (2003). African American communication: Exploring identity and culture. Erlbaum.[Crossref] , [Google Scholar], p. 235). CTI does not currently include physicality as an aspect of identity, nor does it offer a distinction between the materiality of identity and the other frames. This fifth frame consists of dimensions including these key components: the body, health, and territory.

摘要

本文通过修改其两个假设并引入第五个身份框架：物质框架，扩展了身份传播理论（CTI）。该理论的第一个假设提出“身份具有个人、制定、相关和公共属性”[Hecht et al., 2003 Hecht, ML , Jackson, RL , II, & Ribeau, SA ( 2003 )。非裔美国人交流：探索身份和文化。埃尔鲍姆。[Crossref]  , [Google Scholar] , p. 235]。这些属性被认为是可以检查身份的位置或框架。第四个假设指出身份是“情感的、认知的、行为的和精神的”（Hecht 等，2003 Hecht, ML , Jackson, RL , II, & Ribeau, SA ( 2003 )。非裔美国人交流：探索身份和文化。埃尔鲍姆。[Crossref]  , [Google Scholar] , p. 235)。CTI 目前不包括物理性作为身份的一个方面，也不提供身份的物质性与其他框架之间的区别。这第五个框架由包括以下关键组成部分的维度组成：身体、健康和领土。
