Abstract:
AbstractOn the night of July 15, 2016, the Republic of Turkey experienced yet another military coup attempt. However, this attempt failed, mainly due to civilian protest and casualties. Their sacrifice, according to the Turkish state, led to the creation of a new national celebration in Turkey, the “Democracy and National Unity Day.” Following the growing interest of historians in the field of national celebrations, this paper examines the creation of this holiday. It argues that the AKP government used this new holiday to shape the Turkish collective national memory and to introduce a national celebration that does not revolve around the founder of the Turkish Republic, Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, who symbolizes the secular camp in Turkey, but rather around the Justice and Development Party government and its more traditional and religious ideology, in the guise of celebrating Turkish democracy.

Abstract:
The article examines the mobilisation of a local community after the creation of a religious attraction and a popular mountain trail in a protected and fragile context. Despite much research on the topic, the boundaries between spiritual or religious tourism and pilgrimage are still quite complicated. The research questions focused on the social reasons behind the growing invention and reinvention of religious places outside of liturgical celebrations and religious practices. Through a case study, the question of whether/how a religious attraction can give new meaning to a mountain tourist spot on the border of a UNESCO World Natural Heritage List Site is addressed, while also raising ecological issues.

Abstract:
“St. Oswald's Day” is celebrated each year in Canberra, Australia, in a day devoted to drug using and excess. “St. Oswald” is an invention of a group of illicit drug users, who parody orthodox religion and satirise straight society in the celebration. The group are drug enthusiasts — that is, while not dependent users of any illicit drug their drug use, in both its variety and intensity, is much more than recreational. Drawing on both interview data with twenty-seven “Oswaldians” and participant observation with the group, the article outlines the nature of St. Oswald's Day, followed by a discussion of the methods used and of the group itself. It is shown that the group, while very unconventional, exhibits social solidarity and organisation, in strong contrast to the images of anomie, disorganisation and pathology emphasised in conventional accounts of drug use. The article closes by discussing how St. Oswald's Day confronts the “sobriety” of modern society (an epitomisation of the Protestant Ethic) with an image of “carnival” (epitomising the Hedonist Ethic) and suggests that much conventional treatment of drug use is blind to questions of historical context and social structure.

Abstract:
Edinburgh introduced Britain to the university centenary, an established form of celebration in continental Europe. The ceremonies in 1884 can be seen in the framework of the late nineteenth-century ‘invention of tradition’. Such events usually asserted the links of the university with national and local communities and with the state. The Edinburgh celebrations marked the opening of a new medical school, after a public appeal which itself strengthened relations with graduates and wealthy donors. The city council, local professional bodies, and the student community all played a prominent part in the events of 1884, which were a significant episode in the development of student representation. Analysis of the speeches given on the occasion suggests that the university sought to promote the image of a great medical and scientific university, with the emphasis on teaching and professional training rather than research, for the ideal of the ‘Humboldtian’ research university was still a novelty in Britain. Tercentenary rhetoric also expressed such themes as international academic cooperation , embodied in the presence of leading scientists and scholars, the harmony of religion and science, and a liberal protestant view of the rise of freedom of thought. The tercentenary coincided with impending legislation on Scottish universities, which encouraged assertions of the public character of these institutions, and of the nation's distinct cultural identity. One striking aspect, however, was the absence of women from the formal proceedings, and failure to acknowledge the then current issue of women's admission to higher education.

Abstract:
The article reflects upon Sam Shepard’s playwrighting in the opening decades of the twenty-first century, paying particular attention to his last play, A Particle of Dread (Oedipus Variations), written specifically for the Derry/Londonderry City of Culture celebrations in 2013, and originally produced by the renowned Field Day Theatre Company. The article seeks to offer an insight into Shepard’s mature multilayered text, which, in many respects, looks back upon almost fifty years of his artistic creativity and, at the same time, expands his vision. It also addresses the realisation of Shepard’s play in performance and the significance of his text in an interplay of multiple creative inputs involved in the production process. While revisiting the familiar landscapes and themes, Shepard’s most recent work negotiates the boundaries between the actual and the fictitious, raising debates about the persistence of myths, mortality and the haunting legacies of the past. Richly intertextual and conspicuously metatheatrical, it grapples with questions of authenticity, performativity and storytelling – the narratives that are passed down, and how they form and inform our lives. It also engages with, and further problematises, issues of personal and cultural identity, which constitute Shepard’s most durable thematic threads, revealing both the dramatist’s acute concern with fateful determinism and commitment to self-invention. Significantly, while Shepard’s postmillennial output highlights the author’s ongoing preoccupation with instability and frontiers of various sorts (from those topographic, temporal and sociopolitical to those of language and art), it equally intimates his attentiveness to correspondences between times, lands and cultures.

Abstract:
While a version of Icelandic heritage is exhibited in modern fashion, the imagery is a recent invention without specific historical context. Yet, centuries-old outfits with accompanying components that form the canon of Icelandic women’s national dress are well-established cultural elements. There are three categories of national dress that are instantly recognizable and have well-defined variations of national dress that figure more than ever in formal events and celebrations. However, these do not seem to be referenced in designers’ efforts to create distinctly Icelandic and Arctic imagery through fashionable clothing. Revealing how this appears and why may provide clues to what prompts similar disconnects in other Arctic communities and small-group cultures in which vivid national dress iconography is separated from fashionable apparel. We reveal this separation through fieldwork and interviews conducted in 2021 and 2022 in Reykjavík and online, a look at historical paths of national dress, an examination of cultural underpinnings and attitudes, and references to Jean Baudrillard’s theory on the evolution of symbols in society. We illustrate the gravitational pull of ritualistic contexts that effectively distance national dress from designed fashion. We follow the development of Iceland’s iconic ‘Lady of the Mountain’ and her dress, observing how their emergence and eventual fusing removed them and their symbolic presence from the day-to-day world of fashionable apparel.

As the political situation of the Palestinians has changed, so too have the customs and practices of Palestinians in the Diaspora. Using Eric Hobsbawm's concept of ““invented tradition”” as a point of departure, this article explores the origins, functions, and implications of some of the elements——including dance, song, and costume——of Palestinian-American wedding celebrations in the New York/New Jersey/Pennsylvania area, which since the first intifada have evolved into occasions for celebrating nationalist as well as communal identity.

Abstract:
This paper presents the word-formation of blending in promotional advertisements, specifically for Chinese New Year celebrations in Malaysia. Blending is a process that combines two or three parts of source words (SWs) which either one has shortened infuse and/or where there is a phonological or graphic overlap of source words (e.g., moo-tastic  moo + fantastic, and Ox-picious  Ox + auspicious). These kinds of words describe a new invention or phenomenon that combines the definitions of the attribute of the two existing things. This study, which applied qualitative methods, examines the meaning of blends and the blending creativity in coining new words in promotional advertisements during the 2021 Chinese New Year or Lunar New Year which is also the Year of Golden Ox. In other words, the Lunar New Year which falls on February 12 in 2021 says hello to the Year of the Golden Ox and bids farewell to the Year of the Golden Rat in the previous year. Hence, this paper analyses 70 blends from promotional ads to measure the semantic, phonological, graphemic, and/or formal motivation of blending and investigate the meaning of blends. Researchers conclude the distinguishing features of blends in promotional ads overlap full words and wordplay, examining the graphological, phonological, stylistic, and semantic motivations. This study highlights that a set of words are chosen as the theme to coin new words each year, especially during the festival season (e.g., ox, moo). Blends are believed to effectively spread a message and attract attention to an idea or a product.

Abstract:
This chapter recounts the process of upgrading certain older apparel, a transnational process led by the wealthy and famous, including rich collegians, titled nobility, and rock stars like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. Celebrations of affluence, elitism, individuality, and fame framed this path. The invention of "vintage" responded to a desire for visible distinction, one almost classically linked to affluence and in keeping with the 1899 thesis of economist Thorstein Veblen. For example, the 1956-7 college fad for old raccoon-fur coats from the 1920s was emblematic of a rising class of wealthy youth to whom chain department stores like Lord & Taylor eagerly appealed—and for whom the word “vintage” was first applied to clothing. Vintage exhibitionism usually disavowed political affiliations while reveling in bucking convention.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter traces the invention of the relic of Stephen’s alleged right hand c. 1100, and its later uses. The relic has played a key role in ecclesiastical celebrations for centuries; in the twentieth century, it was also heavily politicized. As religious celebrations and grand state occasions were interconnected in the interwar period, in particular around St Stephen’s day, the Holy Dexter also became a reference point in politics. Conversely, during the communist period, the yearly religious procession was prohibited and the Holy Dexter itself was withdrawn from public display. Nobody has hitherto questioned the origin of the mummified hand; indeed, many scholars have expended considerable energy to prove that it truly is Stephen’s. However, because three saint’s lives were written about Stephen over the course of about twenty years in the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries, it is possible to follow the emergence of the story of the uncorrupted right hand, and also discover the likely models. The invention can be contextualized in the creation of the official Life of Stephen, which reflected the needs of the royal court at the time. The Holy Dexter heightened Stephen’s importance, as the holy founder came to be deployed in disputes with the papacy. The chapter also addresses the modern political uses of the relic, arising from the entanglement of the state and the Catholic Church.

Abstract The invention of Stephen’s relics was not the climax of the city’s quest to consolidate its local claim on the martyr but the catalyst for more visible gestures, particularly in the area of ritual. Spurred by the discovery of the relics, the church of Jerusalem made a series of dramatic changes to its festal calendar. Specifically, it reconfigured its Epiphany and Easter octaves to accommodate two new celebrations in honor of Stephen. In the hands of homilists, the multiplication of these “more numerous feasts” for Stephen supported local discourses affirming a unique relationship between the Protomartyr and his native church.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter offers a critical assessment of the historiography on Constantine-Cyril, and its relationship to the readings of the text. More specifically, it posits that the ubiquitous celebrations of Cyril and Methodios and their alphabet have emerged from certain ways of reading our medieval sources. But that these often methodologically problematic readings have produced a climate of celebration which has then structured the context, from within which the sources have subsequently been read. It has become impossible therefore to read the Life of Constantine without already knowing and expecting it to be a text imbued with Slavonic patriotism and celebrating an apostle to the Slavs. By unpicking this context, and the consequences it has had for textual analysis, this chapter lays the groundwork for a new reading of the Life of Constantine-Cyril.

Abstract The autumn of 1615 found Claudio Monteverdi at work on a new commission for his old masters, the Gonzaga. More precisely, a court official, Annibale Iberti, had recently been in touch with the composer through the Mantuan Resident in Venice, Camillo Sordi, with instructions that the composer should be commissioned to compose a hallo at the specific request of Ferdinando Gonzaga, who now found himself somewhat unexpectedly destined to become the sixth Duke of Mantua. The reasons for the commission are unknown, but it seems likely that it was intended for performance as part of the celebrations planned to mark Ferdinando’s official installation early in the new year.1 Yet beyond the fact of the commission itself, the Mantuans had given precious few details, unlike Ferdinando’s direct predecessor (and Monteverdi’s first employer at the court), Duke Vincenzo Gonzaga, who, as Monteverdi now put it (in his letter to Annibale lberti of 21 November 1615), ‘used to demand of me such productions either in six, eight or nine movements, besides which he used to give me some account of the invention, and I used to try to fit to it both the harmony and the metres that I knew to be most appropriate and similar’. Here, it seems, the composer was referring to the Ballo delle ingrate or to something similar, in which the choreography did not merely consist of a sequence of elaborate geometrical configurations, but operated within a narrative framework.

Abstract:
Abstract In coming decades, corporate competition paradigm will be shifting from natural resources towards talent acquisition, therefore within Oil&Gas, rivalry is developing not only among industry’s operating, service, and construction companies, but with Apple, Tesla, Pfizer, and numerous startups. Unfortunately, the Oil&Gas industry is currently stigmatized for carbon dioxide emissions and oil spills and has become less attractive for future employees. The issuewill become even more critical in coming years as Generation Z enters the workforce.

Abstract:
Abstract In coming decades, corporate competition paradigm will be shifting from natural resources towards talent acquisition, therefore within Oil&Gas, rivalry is developing not only among industry’s operating, service, and construction companies, but with Apple, Tesla, Pfizer, and numerous startups. Unfortunately, the Oil&Gas industry is currently stigmatized for carbon dioxide emissions and oil spills and has become less attractive for future employees. The issuewill become even more critical in coming years as Generation Z enters the workforce. Analysis of Generation Z (Gen Z/Genzers) characteristics and work ethics shows they are: Entrepreneurial, that is they are less likely to stay within corporate boundaries;Multitasking, meaning not only the tasks that are assigned to them but also those that they assign to themselves, which makes it difficult to keep them within defined borders of the organizational chart rectangles with prescribed duties;Interactive – they want to share their ideas with executives over the heads of their direct supervisors –are we ready for that?Demanding constant stimulation, such as clear career tracks and non-routine challenges. To accommodate Generation Z and attract their top talent, we need to focus human resources functional concept even more on employee’s skills and potential. To close the gap in talent acquisition and nurture future industry leaders: A talent pool should be set up with a thoughtful promotion track;Award ceremonies can be used to initiate tracking of the inventor’s career in addition to celebrating an accomplishment or invention;Employee performance evaluations can be used to analyze the talent pool turnover rate. When a member of this pool is leaving the company, it should be considered an incident, which needs to be treated as such, with root cause analysis and corrective actions. This paper will describe long-term challenges facing the Oil&Gas industry regarding top Genzer talent acquisition and retention and propose solutions that may potentially address them.
