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:

The French State, and political elites operating within it, have a long tradition of involvement in the production, management and even the control of language and culture. This has been - and remains - important in terms of the construction and definition of a State-led model of French identity. Against this background, the present thesis examines conceptions of French identity held by political elites, the agents of the State, in relation to language and cultural issues prominent on the policy-making agenda in the 1990s. The thesis specifically considers the possibility that elite visions of

Abstract:

Cultural policy research typically emphasises national and local policies in its studies, while studies of subnational and regional policies tend to be less common. Between the levels of country and city, however, there is a vast array of cultural policy-types that is often cast aside or underrepresented in the literature – this, despite the fact that a number of prominent subnational governments of national minorities have been extremely active in developing their own cultural policies and institutions. Unlike their national or local counterparts, however, these subnational governments often

Abstract:

In my thesis I look at the works of Charles Maturin, focusing particularly on four novels (<i>The Wild Irish Boy, The Milesian Chief, Women, Melmoth the Wanderer</i>). I argue that in these works we can see Maturin in effect offering a materialist critique of an emerging discourse of Irish Romantic nationalism. Maturin was concerned with how constructions of national identity and their expression in literature were intimately bound up with questions as to the role of culture, and the level of agency, it has within the public life of the modern nation/state. In his fiction we can see a conflict

Abstract:

My thesis asks whether cultural commemorations helped the GDR to build a distinct national identity, and examines the role of political and cultural actors involved in them. Covering different strands of German cultural heritage, the aims, implementations and outcomes of anniversary commemorations are investigated as a longitudinal series of case-studies: Schiller (1959); Kollwitz (1967); Beethoven (1970); and Luther (1983). Substantial evidence from largely unpublished sources exposes recurring gaps between the theory and practice of these commemorations, essentially attributable to manifest

Abstract:

The ‘cultural cringe’ was a powerful force shaping Australian ideas in the post-war years. Struggling with both the heavy cultural shadow of Britain and the brutal apathy of Australian philistinism, intellectuals tried to find ways to escape the colonial rut of a meagre, material culture. This thesis will, for the first time, place together the work of eleven writers and explore their responses to a cultural insecurity they all felt with peculiar intensity. Ultimately, it will be argued that the ‘cultural nationalists’ – A.A. Phillips (who coined the term ‘cultural cringe’ in a 1950 essay), C

Research into Iraqi national identity is a disputed topic.

In this endeavour, this thesis also researches the origins of Iraqi nationalism in modern Iraq since the middle of the eighteenth century with a focus on the transformation of the Iraqi national identity during the 1930s to the early 1960s, aiming to contextualise the

In the 1990's, the U.S. saw one of the largest periods of migration to its shores in its history.

The largest proportion of immigrants claim Mexico as their country of origin, and according to the U.S. Census Bureau, Hispanics now represent the country's largest minority population. Given these facts, it is important to examine a body of literature that warns of the "balkanization" of America and suggests an inability of this new wave of immigrant

Current scholarship recognizes that music is a powerful channel that can manifest individual identity.

Indeed, what is missing is a rigorous understanding of not only how the act of performing forms collective identity, but also how it acts as an agency, indeed, perhaps the only agency that enables this process.
