Data_Sheet_1_Deep Cross-Cultural Reconstruction Process in the Context of Cultural Potential: A Qualitative Study.pdf

Cross-cultural adaptation significantly impacts the development of individuals in different cultural environments. Because of art scholars’ intense cultural intervention, their cross-cultural process—cultural reconstruction—significantly differs from that of other groups. However, there is insufficient research on their process. In this study, 29 contemporary Chinese artists living in Germany were interviewed. Grounded theory was used to propose a new ladder theory. We found that the cross-cultural reconstruction process includes two sub-processes and seven ladder-like stages containing the “driver–strategy–outcome” logic. Arguably, the ladder model provides a stronger explanation for the mechanism of art scholars’ cross-cultural reconstruction process.

跨文化适应对身处不同文化环境中的个体发展具有显著影响。鉴于艺术学者在文化干预方面的强烈作用，他们的跨文化进程——文化重构——与其他群体存在显著差异。然而，对其进程的研究尚显不足。在本研究中，对居住在德国的29位当代中国艺术家进行了访谈。采用扎根理论提出了新的阶梯理论。研究发现，跨文化重构过程包括两个子过程和包含“驱动因素-策略-结果”逻辑的七个阶梯状阶段。可以说，该阶梯模型为艺术学者跨文化重构机制的阐释提供了更为坚实的解释基础。
