Abstract:

AbstractRichard Hughes discusses the "Myths America Lives By," including myths of national innocence and national destiny. Hughes' discussion is particularly relevant to the American context of Pauline studies after the Shoah, where "American" values of inclusiveness and "universalism" are opposed to ethnic intolerance. Ironically, in some versions of the so-called "new perspective on Paul," the latter is usually identified with the "Jewish exclusivism" that Paul opposed.Increasing criticisms have been raised against this construal of Paul's theology. Efforts to rehabilitate Paul by opposing him to Jewish ethnocentrism rely on caricature and stigmatize fundamental Jewish identity and observance. In contrast, an explicitly political reading, attending to aspects of counter-imperial dissent in Paul's letters, however uncongenial to the mythology of American innocence and destiny, may provide deeper insight into the contours of Paul's interaction with alternative Jewish discourses under Roman rule.

Abstract:

Abstract The almost complete absence of any reference to the terms shaman and shamanism in Biblical Studies has its roots in the historical prejudice in Western scholarship against them, and originated from colonial ethnocentrism and Christian notions of superiority. However, the shaman, defined as a practitioner who based on the alteration of ordinary consciousness serves a community with particular functions, represents a recognisable pattern in numerous cultural settings while the growth in the multidisciplinary study of shamanism in recent decades shows a growth in one of the oldest patterns of religious activities in human history. The study of shamanism does not only provide a body of comparative research but analytical models for explaining the most extraordinary and anomalous aspects found also in biblical texts, namely, prophesy, divination, healing and exorcism as well as heavenly journeys and spirit possession.

Abstract:

AbstractA historico-religious study focusing on "priesthood" and "priest" has to face many difficulties, in terms of terminology and of content. On the one hand, it is methodologically incorrect to link "priesthood" to debated modern concepts such as "religion" or "cult" which, like the former, need to be (even conventionally) defined each time for every particular culture, and not to be assumed as universal keys of historical understanding. On the other hand, previous studies on the topic - where the aim has been to determine latent forms and/or particular manifestations of "priesthood" in other cultures and also to write a "general history" of this phenomenon - exhibit the total historical irrelevance of such an approach, based only on our modern (Christian) concept of "priest(hood)." In order to limit ethnocentrism and, at the same time, to employ useful conceptual categories, new heuristic parameters must be found. In addition to the criterion indicated by J. Rüpke (the religious specialist as a control-agent within the framework of symbolic systems), I propose to distinguish between professional specialisation and practical (cultic) function. The case study I present here to illustrate some aspects and problems of this research is that of ancient Syrian (Ugaritic) culture, where "priests" in our meaning are difficult to be found, whereas a fully new concept emerges if we look at the issue from a functional (and "emic") perspective.

Abstract: this text is the result of a qualitative exploratory and documentary research aiming to understand the religious spaces as educational instruments for the respect of Brazilian cultural diversity, based on the urban tourism itineraries focused on the religious cultural heritage produced by the Curitiba Institute of Tourism and the Foundation Cultural of Curitiba. To this end, we propose the discussion based on the understanding of tourism as an educational space for cultural plurality through the construction of scripts with pedagogical conceptions and propositions. The results point out that the practice of educational tourism to promote environmental studies helps to develop not only cognitive aspects, but also emotional, affective, social and cultural aspects in the individual, favors encounters that stimulate student reflection and promote knowledge of the socio-cultural environment where Live and the enormous Brazilian cultural diversity, disrupting ethnocentrism. Paisagem Urbana Educa para a Diversidade Resumo: este texto é o resultado de uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória e documental visando compreender os espaços religiosos como instrumentos educativos para o respeito a diversidade cultural brasileira, a partir dos roteiros de turismo urbano voltados para o patrimônio cultural religioso produzidos pelo Instituto de Turismo de Curitiba e Fundação Cultural de Curitiba. Para tal propomos a discussão a partir da compreensão do turismo como espaço de educação para a pluralidade cultural por meio da construção de roteiros com concepções e proposições pedagógicas. Os resultados apontam que a prática do turismo educacional para promover estudos do meio auxilia a desenvolver no indivíduo não só aspectos cognitivos, mas também emocionais, afetivos, sociais e culturais, favorecem encontros que estimulam a reflexão dos alunos e promovem o conhecimento do meio sociocultural onde vivem e da enorme diversidade cultural brasileira, descontruindo o etnocentrismo.

Abstract:

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to reflect, from a theoretical point of view, on the relationship between violence and religion. The historic examples, taken mainly from the Hispanic world, aim to show that even if violence is an habitual component in religions, it is not at all a necessary combination, either in regards to religion in general or to any religion in particular. For this purpose, four aspects will be brought up in which the binomial religion-violence is manifested in a more characteristic way. The first has to do with identity: religion as a sign of identity can allow for a systematic and religiously correct resource for violence. The second aspect deals with the relationship between power and religion, in particular in its relation to the religious legitimization of power and the violence that goes along with its practice. The third aspect refers to privilege, generator of violence in a number of orders (between humans and animals, men and women, powerful and subjected, center and periphery, religious leaders and their followers, etc.). The last aspect refers to difference and introduces a reflection on multireligiosity, a characteristic of our present world, and in which the combination of religion and violence, even though it endures, tends to be mitigated in view of a global frame of cohabitation which must become stronger from the search for a consensus, necessarily based on the renunciation of religiocentric and ethnocentric stances.

Abstract:

Religion should no longer only be equated with a doctrine or philosophy which, although important, is but one aspect or dimension of the phenomenon religion. Apart from presenting the intellectual or rational aspects of Buddhism, we should aim at a balanced view by also focusing on the mythical or narrative axioms of the Buddhist doctrines, as well as on the practical and ritual, the experiential and emotional, the ethical and legal, the social and institutional, and the material and artistic dimensions of the religious phenomenon known as Buddhism. This will help us to arrive at a balanced, unbiased and holistic conception of the subject matter. We must be careful not to impose the ethnocentric conceptions of our time, or to fall into the trap of reductionism, or to project our own idiosyncratic or personal beliefs onto the subject of our research. For example, according to Marco Polo, the Sinhalese Buddhists were 'idolaters', in other words worshippers of idols. This interpretation of the Sinhalese custom of placing offerings such as flowers, incense and lights before the Buddha image is quite understandable, because it is one of the most conspicuous feature of Sinhalese Buddhism even today. However, in conceiving of Buddhists as 'idolaters', Polo was uncritically using the concept of the then prevailing ethnocentric Christian discourse, by which the worshippers of other religions used idols, images or representations of God or the divine as objects of worship, a false God, as it were. Christians, on the other hand, worshipped the only true God.

Abstract:

A distinct conceptualisation of the imperial cult is common in NT scholarship, in which worship of the emperor is portrayed as a “foreign” development which served primarily political aims, with little integrity and no serious religious significance. This depiction does not do justice to the evidence and is basically ethnocentric. That the imperial cult provides us with a crucial window on the mentality of the Roman Period comes closer to the truth. A few aspects of early Christian literature and history which might be reinterpreted in the light of a more comprehensive understanding of the imperial cult are briefly noted.

Abstract:

Introduction. In connection with the growth of religious consciousness of young people in Russia, the study of their religious identity is being updated. Scientists pay special attention to Islamic denominations, as both in Western countries and in the Russian Federation, the number of Muslims is increasing. However, scientific publications cover mainly sociological aspects of the problem, and its psychological component remains insufficiently investigated, which largely determines the social behaviour of a person and affects the process of his or her socialisation. In view of the interest shown by the scientific community in Arab-Muslim culture, appropriate psychological research should be carried out in Muslim-dominated regions. The Chechen Republic is one of such territories in the Russian Federation.The aim is to identify the characteristics and types of religious identity of Chechen students.Methodology and research methods. The study was performed in the framework of socio-psychological approach using the following questionnaires: “Scale of Religious Orientation” by G. Allport, D. Ross; “Structure of Individual Religiosity” by Y. V. Shcherbatykh; questionnaires developed by A. N. Tatarko and N. M. Lebedeva for the study of certainty and valence of ethnic identity and readiness for interethnic interaction; “Types of Ethnic Identity” by G. U. Soldatova and S. V. Ryzhova.Results and scientific novelty. It is revealed that the majority of Chechen students are characterised by consistently internal religious orientation, in which religion is the main value and primary motive of activity. Almost a quarter of respondents demonstrated consistently external religious orientation, characterised by instrumental or external significance. A small group of respondents can be classified as inconsistently religious, whose external religiosity prevails over the internal, and their motivation for behaviour is poorly connected with religion. On the basis of the factor analysis, the types of religious identity of Chechen students are revealed: ethno-cultural, true Muslim, formal, pro-social, non-adaptive, nonreligious, ethnocentric and positive ethnic. The present study evidences that the structure of social identity of students is dominated by ethno-cultural religious identity.Practical significance. The research results extend the knowledge about the content of the concept of “religious identity”, its place in the structure of social identity of the individual, as well as about the relationship of religious orientations with ethnic identity.

Abstract:

ZusammenfassungDieser Artikel analysiert den jüngsten Anstieg von Populismus in Österreich, der in Verbindung steht mit Debatten über Migration und Globalisierung. Als österreichische Staatsbürgerin sieht die Autorin im aufkeimenden Populismus und beginnenden Rassismus eine Ursache für Besorgnis. Nach Überlegungen zu Themen wie Konflikt und Rassismus betrachtet die Studie Aspekte von Populismus: Populismus als eine Ideologie, seinen Bezug zu Weltanschauung, zu Ethnozentrismus und Rassismus sowie ursächliche Faktoren in der österreichischen Gesellschaft, die populistische Standpunkte hervorrufen. Der Druck, der im österreichischen Kontext auf dem Stellenwert Identität herrscht, wird in Bezug gesetzt zu Faktoren, die eine österreichische Identitätskrise auslösen.Ethnische Identität bildet sich durch einen komplexen Prozess, bei dem gemeinsame Ähnlichkeiten innerhalb einer Gruppe sowie Differenzen zu anderen Gruppen ausgemacht werden. Dieser Prozess hilft Menschen, die Welt zu verstehen und Identität zu erlangen, doch die Gefahr dabei ist, dass die Leute in Stereotype, wie “Würdige“ und ,,Unwürdige“, eingeteilt werden. Eine kritische Überlegung zur ethnischen Identität aus christlicher Sicht legt nahe, dass eine christliche Identität geprägt wird, indem ,,Gottebenbildlichkeit“ und ,,In-Christus-Sein“ gelebt wird. Die Gemeinde, die eine neue Menschheit verkörpert, muss diese Identität bekräftigen und dem Vorbild von Christus folgen, indem sie eine wiederhergestellte und versöhnte multiethnische Gemeinschaft im Königreich Gottes vorlebt.Der Artikel fragt abschließend, wie Ortsgemeinden in Österreich auf die erörterten Anliegen antworten können und welchen Beitrag multikulturelle Gemeinden zu einer ethnischen Versöhnung leisten können, durch einen Umwandlungsprozess der ,,Befreiung“ von einer negativen Haltung dem ,,anderen“ gegenüber. Er endet mit dem Ansinnen, dass die Kirche in Österreich ihre Berufung erkennen muss, eine ,,expansive“ Gemeinschaft zu sein, damit sie ihre Rolle als Handlungsträger ethnischer Versöhnung in der Gesellschaft erfüllen kann.RésuméCet article considère la montée du populisme en Autriche et les débats concernant l’immigration et la globalisation qui lui sont liés. L’auteur, citoyenne autrichienne, juge préoccupante la montée du populisme et le racisme qui se fait jour. Après des réflexions sur les thèmes du conflit et du racisme, elle considère le populisme sous divers angles : le populisme en tant qu’idéologie, son rapport à la vision du monde, à l’ethnocentrisme, puis au racisme, et les facteurs sous-jacents à la société autrichienne qui provoquent des prises de position populistes. Les pressions identitaires dans le contexte autrichien sont analysées en fonction de facteurs favorisant une crise de l’identité autrichienne.L’identité ethnique se forme par un processus complexe qui consiste à identifier des similarités partagées au sein d’un groupe social, ainsi qu’un ensemble de différences par rapport à d’autres groupes. Ce processus aide des êtres humains à donner un sens au monde et à se forger une identité, mais il présente le danger de fabrication de stéréotypes en fonction desquels on va classer les gens en « méritants » et « déméritants ». Une réflexion critique sur l’identité ethnique d’un point de vue chrétien conduit à l’idée que l’identité chrétienne se forme par le fait d’être « image de Dieu » et « en Christ ». L’Église, nouvelle humanité, doit affirmer cette identité et suivre l’exemple de Christ en édifiant une communauté du royaume de Dieu multiethnique restaurée et réconciliée.L’auteur termine en examinant comment les Églises locales autrichiennes peuvent répondre aux problèmes abordés et comment des Églises multiculturelles peuvent contribuer à réconcilier des personnes appartenant à des ethnies différentes, grâce au processus de transformation qui libère d’attitudes négatives vis-à-vis d’autrui. Elle suggère que les Églises autrichiennes doivent considérer leur vocation à être des communautés ouvertes afin de remplir leur rôle d’agents de réconciliation entre ethnies au sein de la société dans son ensemble.SummaryThis article explores the recent rise of populism in Austria which is bound up with debates about migration and globalisation. As an Austrian citizen, the author finds the rise of populism and the incipient racism cause for concern. Following reflection on themes like conflict and racism, the study considers aspects of populism: populism as an ideology, its relationship to world-view, to ethnocentrism and to racism and the underlying factors in Austrian society which provoke populist stances. The pressures on identity in the Austrian setting are viewed in relation to factors prompting an Austrian identity crisis.Ethnic identity is formed through a complex process of finding shared similarities within a group as well as finding differences from other groups. This process helps human beings to make sense of the world and to gain identity, but the dangers include stereotyping people into the 'deserving' and 'undeserving'. Critical reflection on ethnic identity from a Christian perspective suggests that Christian identity is shaped by being in the ‘image of God’ and ‘in Christ’. The Church, a new humanity, needs to affirm this identity and to follow Christ’s example in modelling a restored and reconciled multi-ethnic kingdom community.The article concludes by probing how local churches in Austria can respond to the issues discussed and the potential contribution of multicultural churches to ethnic reconciliation through the transformative process of being ´liberated` from negative attitudes to the ‘other’. It suggests that the church in Austria needs to realise its calling to be an ‘expansive’ community in order to fulfil its role as an agent of ethnic reconciliation in the wider society.

Abstract:

The fundamental research conducted by looking at the phenomenon of group fights and how ethnocentrism and conflict influence each other indigenous ethnic groups in West Papua. This study used descriptive qualitative method, through field studies (in-depth interviews) and literature study. The results showed that with a low level of understanding of the history of the conflict supported ever experienced by the perpetrators of communication, there is a trend of negative information transformation process to be effective. So as to absorb the negative information, aspects of ethnocentrism group members appear. The emergence of these aspects lead to the awareness and solidarity groups to join forces in-group. Other findings also showed that the factors causing conflict among indigenous ethnic groups in West Papua can be summarized in two points, namely; The first tendency puts another group at a level lower social interaction, and the second is the attempt appointment of existence itself by an ethnic group seeking recognition coupled behavior (respect) from inside and outside the group by scapegoating other groups. In the indigenous ethnic group communication, attitude and behavior aspects play a role in the formation of a negative message, based on the main factors. The tendency of formation of the group because of its frequency along the occurring hereditary. Related conflict and ethnocentrism, can be drawn that the results of the analysis found the substance also major causal relationship. Where, a communal conflict can result from the manifestation of ethnocentrism aspects into forms of behavior conflict. In contrast with the presence of conflict can also strengthen or weaken ethnocentrism.

Abstract:

What appears to be a positive appreciation of non-Western cultures, both in secular society and in the church, may be but ethnocentrism in disguise. Within Western theology, abstract thinking has been used to purge Christianity of “undesirable” concreteness; the same method is used within missiology to render the religious and philosophical contents of other cultures morally and intellectually acceptable and to make them compatible with Christianity.

Abstract:

An ethnic awareness survey was used to evaluate ethnocentrism in a national sample of denominational lay leaders, clergy, and college students of the Free Methodist Church of North America Those found to demonstrate the greatest degree of ethnocentricity were individuals with little or no college education and/or nonprofessionals from smaller churches. Those demonstrating the least degree of ethnocentricity were college graduates, pastors, conference superintendents, those from inner-city churches, and those involved in professional occupations. Among college students in the sample, senior level students were significantly less ethnocentric with respect to the questionnaire scales than their freshman counterparts. Level of education and the demographic nature of the respondent's church and home environment seemed to override the purely theological dimensions of religious and church involvement. The result is a discrepancy between the theological ideals of a church or faith and the way in which social values and attitudes are expressed in day-to-day settings.

Abstract:

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of culture on religiosity, cosmopolitanism, and ethnocentrism on attitudes towards foreign products, among two religious classes in India. Design/methodology/approach – Quantitative data analysis was employed to attain the above objective. In order to explore the existence of difference between clothing preferences between two religious classes analysis of variance (ANOVA) was employed. It was employed to analyse the difference between group means. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was employed to test the hypothesized paths. SEM was used separately for both the religious classes to explore the possibility of difference between both of them. Before testing the measurement model confirmatory factor analysis was run to test the cleanliness of the measurement items. Data were analysed in two parts A and B. In part A SEM was employed to test the hypotheses developed and in part B ANOVA was used to test the difference between group means. Findings – It was found that both the religious classes were significantly different from each other in their apparel preference. It was also found that the Indians were not collectivist as often labelled in a stereotypical way. Practical implications – The findings of this study would provide useful in-depth knowledge on Indian religious groups for both international and national marketers. The study confirmed that ignoring the diversity of an emerging market and adopting a standardized marketing strategy could prove fatal. It provides better understanding about the cultural diversity and its impact on buying imported products. Such insight should enable marketers, policy makers, and social planners to act more effectively by designing their positioning strategies accordingly. Originality/value – Some unexpected differences was found in individualism and collectivism dimensions and it was also found that the inter-cultural differences between Hindus and Muslims have changed since the original Hofstede data were collected on Hindu and Muslim dominating countries.

This paper combines a content analysis of 3 831 articles in the German press with eight qualitative interviews with correspondents in the region to assess aspects of ethnocentrism in the news. We considered events from 2000 to 2014 in the following publications: the Süddeutsche Zeitung, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Tageszeitung, and Der Spiegel. One-quarter of the analysed events shows a German self-reference, although this involvement is sectorial. Apolitical areas of coverage tend to show a higher level of ethnocentrism. Besides, news items signed by correspondents are less ethnocentric.

Abstract When people from different countries, cultures and backgrounds meet, they have to cope with the positive and the negative aspects of the intercultural exchange. Barriers such as anxiety, language, stereotypes, prejudice, ethnocentrism, and assumption of similarity instead of difference are the most significant ones to consider. This paper aims to discuss the main difficulties that individuals of various cultures and heritages may face during the intercultural communication process. In particular, this paper takes a closer look at the cultural differences between China and the USA, and at some of the current communication difficulties that the two countries face, caused by lack of mutual understanding, ethnocentrism, stereotypes, prejudice, language, differences of nonverbal indices, political and economic causes.

Abstract:

Our main purpose in this study was to develop a sports fan ethnocentrism (SFE) scale and test whether or not SFE impacts sports viewing motivations and behaviors. First, 3 rounds of the Delphi technique (Gupta & Clarke, 1996) were applied to develop items for the scale. Then, using quota sampling by region, gender, and age we obtained 900 valid surveys from Major League Baseball (MLB) viewers in Taiwan. We then conducted structural equation modeling with viewing time and motivations to confirm construct validity. The characteristics of Taiwanese SFE were found to be as follows: a) SFE is a positive common value in spectator sports that support local athletes; b) Taiwanese MLB viewers generally possess SFE; and c) SFE had an indirect impact on viewing behavior via interest in sports. The results illustrated positive aspects of SFE and suggest that fans may support their own team without feeling hostility toward those from other countries.

Abstract:

Existing Australian measures of racist attitudes focus on single groups or have not been validated across the lifespan. To redress this, the present research aimed to develop and validate a measure of racial, ethnic, cultural and religious acceptance — the Australian Racism, Acceptance, and Cultural-Ethnocentrism Scale (RACES) — for use with children, adolescents and adults. Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 30 adolescents in Victoria, Australia, to develop the instrument, which was pilot tested with eight children. The novel 34-item scale consists of three subscales (Accepting Attitudes — 12 items; Racist Attitudes — 8 items; Ethnocentric Attitudes — 4 items) and a 10-item measure of social desirability. The instrument was tested with 296 Victorian school children, 182 adolescents and 120 adults from the Australian community, with data modelled and analysed utilising classical test theory and item response theory. Estimates of internal consistency reliability and factorial, construct, convergent and discriminant validity support the measure. The instrument is the first general attitudinal measure of racial, ethnic, cultural and religious acceptance to be designed and scientifically validated within the Australian context. RACES can be utilised across the lifespan to evaluate attitudes towards all racial, ethnic, cultural and religious groups. RACES has potential to be widely utilised to evaluate anti-racism and pro-diversity interventions implemented within schools and throughout the community, enabling the development of a strong evidence base for initiatives to reduce community levels of racism. However, future research is needed to confirm the psychometric properties and establish the temporal stability of the scale prior to dissemination throughout Australia.

Abstract:

Purpose Although consumers’ tendency to support domestic companies by buying local products is growing, few studies discuss the corporate branding for domestic brands. This study aims to help domestic brands develop corporate branding strategies by examining the effects of corporate image of domestic brands on customers’ purchase intentions. Design/methodology/approach This study investigates various aspects of corporate image, including product quality, corporate ability, corporate social responsibility (CSR) and local-customer-first (a measure that is identified in this study). It conducts a survey (N = 283) and tests eight hypotheses with bivariate regression analyses with SPSS, Hayes’ PROCESS macro and structural equation modelling with AMOS to identify significant relationships. Findings The results show that all aspects of corporate image have significant positive effects on customers’ purchase intentions towards domestic brands. However, the effect of CSR image on purchase intention is fully mediated by the corporate ability and product quality images, whereas consumer ethnocentrism moderates the corporate ability and local-customer-first images. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature by examining the effect of corporate image on customers’ domestic brand purchase intentions in emerging economies when the product quality image in the country is low. This study also identifies a new factor, local-customer-first, and its positive effect on purchase intention. It is recommended that domestic brands strengthen their CSR, corporate ability and local-customer-first images to gain local customers’ support. Furthermore, it is found that corporate ability and local-customer-first are more highly valued by ethnocentric consumers. These findings can help domestic brands develop corporate branding strategies.

Abstract:

What is the essence of the Gospel? Which aspects of the church’s ministry are contingent? The story of the Anglican Church in Ghana offers an opportunity to reflect upon these questions. While the history of this colonial church is fraught with ethnocentrism, it also demonstrates a number of ways in which a rich theological tradition can be realised on Ghanaian soil. This essay explores these possibilities with the hope of identifying an authentic Afro-Catholicism.

Abstract:

Identifying the most influential dimension in the construction of national identity poses a huge challenge. Keillor et al. (1996) identify four key dimensions as being important in shaping national identity. This article examines these dimensions, namely national heritage, cultural homogeneity, ethnocentrism and belief structure within the Nigerian context and attempts to measure which of these is the most influential. In addition to the historical information contained in existing literature, a survey is carried out to provide an empirical basis for this analysis.

Abstract:

While pseudoarchaeology often presents claims in a scientific register, it favors fantastic or romantic theories of the past over the findings of professionalized archaeology. As archaeologists have attempted to interpret pseudoarchaeology, it has been implied that it often resembles religion more than science, both in terms of its epistemology and the types of worldviews it is deployed to legitimate. This article synthesizes the work of the authors in this special issue of Nova Religio to further articulate these “religious” aspects of pseudoarchaeology.

Abstract:

The article deals with the issues of religious tolerance in modern society. The Republic of Kazakhstan represents multiethnic, polyconfessional, polycultural society. In this regard huge attention is paid to the general ideas of equivalence of all people. At the global level, a number of specially designed documents and regulations have been developed and adopted. Emergence of religious tolerance logically intertwines with such concepts as free-thinking, toleration, laicisation. Experience of our country shows that various religions and faiths can be quite compatible, coexist peacefully and effectively.

Abstract:

For most nurses world-wide, activities are centred around working directly with patients and so the nurse-patient relationship is of the greatest importance. Ethnocentrism on the part of the health care community has led to misdiagnosis, mistreatment and undertreatment of culturally diverse individuals world-wide. This author discusses a tool, Greipp's Model of Ethical Decision-Making, which can be used to assist nurses in analysing the effects of culture, beliefs and diversity upon the caregiver and care recipient within an ethical framework.

Abstract:

In the second half of the nineteenth century, the nature of the national policy of Russia is significantly changing. After the events of 1863 in Poland (the Second Polish uprising), the government of Alexander II gradually abandoned the dominant idea of anathematizing, whose essence is expressed in the domination of the principle of serving the state, the greatness of the empire. The tsar-reformer deliberately changes the policy of etatamism into the policy of state ethnocentrism. The manifestation of such a change is a ban on teaching in Polish (1869) and the temporary closure of the University of Warsaw. At the end of the 60s, the state's policy towards a five million Russian Jewry was radically revised. The process of abolition of restrictions on travel, education, place of residence initiated by Nicholas I, was provided reverse.

Abstract:

Since the time of the British mandate, Zionist and, later, Israeli politics of nation-building has strongly influenced ‘biblical archaeology’ and has significantly undermined the integrity of Israeli scholarship. Critiques from Yael Zerubavel and Keith Whitelam to Nadia Abu El-Haj and Raz Kletter have repeatedly pointed out the consistent nationalistic distortions that have infected the field. The efforts of critical scholars to write a history of Palestine independent of biblical perspectives have corrected such distortions since the 1980s and have raised considerable doubt concerning the legitimacy of the Judeo-ethnocentrism which dominates nationalist Israeli claims on the heritage of ancient Palestine and the Bible.

Abstract:

Being some major problems of our contemporary world, racism and ethnocentrism demand persistent critical scrutiny. One oft-neglected aspect of these problems is how such prejudices are shared and communicated among the members of the dominant group. This study examines Lynn Nottage’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Sweat (2015), as a dramatic representation of how racism and ethnocentrism are reproduced and communicated as a social cognition. To this aim, the study tries to employ Teun Adrianus Van Dijk’s cognitively-based discourse analysis and focus on some micro-level aspects of racism as a social cognition rather as an abstract historical phenomenon. Contextualizing the play within its socio-historical moment, three trends of schematic attitudes and mental models regarding ethnocentrism_ as Van Dijk’s theory outlines_ are identified from and studied in the play. The findings demonstrate the socio-cognitive dimension of the discourse of racism, particularly the way it is reproduced and communicated among the dominant in-group members. Moreover, the discussion offers some insight on Lynn Nottage’s latest dramatic endeavor in a hard-hitting portrayal of the intersections of race, class, and political economy and in drawing attention to the real meaning of diversity and inclusion in contemporary America.
