Abstract:
This thesis explores the hybridity and distinctiveness of British American football. Sports have socio-historical links to specific nation-states, thus encoding them with culturally specific values. Despite a movement towards cultural convergence, especially of popular culture, aspects of sport have remained resistant to dominant globalization trends. My thesis reveals that the globalization of American football to Britain has been a process which makes concessions to the local, while still retaining many of its global characteristics. Through an ethnographic study of one team, I spent an enti

Abstract:
Mestrado em Estudos Ingleses<br>O presente trabalho propõe-se analisar a campanha Britânica para acolher os Jogos Olímpicos de 2012 bem como a Apresentação de Londres 2012 na Cerimónia de Encerramento dos Jogos Olímpicos de Beijing, em 2008. Será abordada a complexidade dos ícones apresentados, bem como os motivos que estiveram na base desta opção. A Apresentação de Londres 2012 centra-se, claramente, em ícones que, mais do que a Grã-Bretanha, identificam a cidade de Londres ao longo de oito minutos assemelhando-se a um anúncio publicitário. Assim sendo, Londonness e Britishness serão explorad

Abstract:
Authorised narratives of British popular music history have been deployed as representations of national identity by a range of institutions and individuals. The London 2012 Olympic Games opening ceremony, for example, presented a range of musical artists and songs that had been selected to represent aspects of British cultural identity to an international audience. The following year, a speech delivered by British Prime Minister David Cameron cited examples of British popular music in order to demonstrate British cultural successes in an international field.

Abstract:
Research with British Chinese young people has tended to focus on experiences of racism, the influence of catering, and more recently educational attainment. Focusing on young Chinese people growing up in Newcastle upon Tyne, North East England, this thesis brings these areas of scholarship into conversation in order to explore the youth transitions, cultural identities and everyday experiences of British Chinese youth. A key argument of this thesis is that integrating understandings of youth transitions with the everyday experiences of Chinese youth provides a critical contribution to the fie

Abstract:
This thesis explores the complexity of identities and the everyday negotiations, as well as struggles that shape the lives of British Chinese pupils in England. It focuses on the links between heritage language education, ‘cultures’ and ethnicity. It analyses the ways in which values related to identities, bi/multilingualism and British Chinese pupils’ positions in multicultural British society, are accommodated, negotiated or resisted. In particular, this research looks at British Chinese pupils with limited Chinese language skills, most of whom are from the ‘second/third generation’ within t
