Un-Australian Fictions sets out to analyse a subset of Australian literary fictions published between 1988 and 2008 - from the bicentenary of British settlement to the global financial crisis and into a new millennium. During a new transnational era, Australians faced sober and unsettling times. Already accorded the status of national obsession, issues of national identity were vigorously contested. Concepts such as the nation, multiculturalism and globalisation became topics for heated discu...

Vladimir Putin has tried to rationalize the 2014 annexation of Crimea as a defense of the "millions of Russian and russophone people" who live there--an irredentist logic that rests on an understanding of a unified, fixed, primordial "Russian-ness." Challenging this notion of an essential Russian identity that must be kept pure and whole, Global Russian Cultures explores the protean complexity of Russian culture as it has spread across the world through successive waves of migration. "Both within and without the Russian Federation," explains editor Kevin Platt, "Russian culture is fragmented and multiple." In revealing Russian cultures as plural, unbounded, and polycentric, this volume calls into question the exculpatory reasoning that fuels the Russian projection of power and, implicitly, similar imperial projects.

Fruit d'un colloque international qui s'est tenu à Paris à la fin de 1995 et qui portait sur L'image de la France en Espagne pendant la première moitié du XIXe siècle, cet ouvrage réunit près d'une vingtaine de travaux de spécialistes, qui offrent au lecteur un large éventail de thèmes et de perspectives sur la question, puisqu'ils touchent à la presse, à la littérature, à l'historiographie, à l'art, aux idées politiques et sociales. Les diverses visions que les Espagnols du XIXe siècle ont eues de la nation voisine, marquées, des années durant, par le traumatisant épisode napoléonien, ne sont pas exemptes de contradictions. L'asymétrie des échanges culturels entre les deux pays, leur poids très différent comme puissances sur la scène internationale et, enfin, l'important décalage chronologique entre leurs séquences historiques respectives, constituent autant de motifs de défiance, laquelle, en effet, affleure très souvent du côté espagnol. Rien de tout cela, cependant, n'a empêché de nombreux écrivains et intellectuels espagnols d'essayer d'adapter à la mentalité et aux besoins de leur pays ceux des aspects de l'expérience françaises tenus pour les plus intéressants et profitables, et ce dans les domaines les plus divers. Cette réception partiale et sélective, toujours filtrée par l'arrière-fond culturel hispanique, s'est opérée de telle façon que, à maintes reprises, la France a pu servir simultanément - y compris, parfois, aux yeux d'un même auteur - de modèle et de contre-modèle.

In the papers collected in this, the first volume of the Spatial Practices series, Englishness is reflected in the spaces it occupies or dwells in. Broadly influenced by a renewed and growing interest in questions of cultural identity, its emergence in Victorian theories and fictions of nationality, and the new cultural geography, the papers cover a rich variety of spaces and places which have been appropriated for cultural meanings: the rural countryside and farmland of the Home Counties in the early nineteenth century as Arcadian idyll in Cobbett, as the land to die for in war propaganda, an

Wenn die Staatsnation im Prinzip ein politisches Projekt ist, das auf universellen Prinzipien beruht, so bestimmt diese gleichzeitig ihr partikuläres Profil über kulturelle Kriterien. Der Sprache und der Literatur wird bei der Konstitution einer nationalen Identität eine zentrale Funktion zugeschrieben. Die unterschiedliche Gewichtung der politischen und der kulturellen Dimension lässt sich sehr gut am Beispiel von Frankreich und Deutschland aufzeigen. Frankreich definierte sich als Nation sehr früh über seine politischen Strukturen. Die Sprache und die Literatur wurden dann aber zu einem wichtigen Attribut der Nation. Deutschland realisierte seine staatliche Einheit sehr viel später. Über Kultur und Literatur entwickelte sich hier zunächst ein vorstaatliches nationales Denken. Im Kontext des Krieges von 1870/71 bestimmten deutsche Intellektuelle die Nation über ,objektive' kulturelle Kriterien, während man in Frankreich die Nation über das Selbstbestimmungsrecht definierte. Es erweist sich aber als zu summarisch, von einem idealtypischen Gegensatz von ,Staatsnation' und ,Kulturnation' auszugehen. Über eine politik-, sprach- und literaturgeschichtliche Rekonstruktion soll dieser Prozess in seiner historisch bedingten Komplexität ab der frühen Neuzeit bis zur Gegenwart erhellt werden.

How do we construct national identities in discourse? Which topics, which discursive strategies and which linguistic devices are employed to construct national sameness and uniqueness on the one hand, and differences to other national collectives on the other hand? The Discursive Construction of National Identity analyses discourses of national identity in Europe with particular attention to Austria. In the tradition of critical discourse analysis, the authors analyse current and on-going transformations in the self-and other definition of national identities using an innovative interdisciplinary approach which combines discourse-historical theory and methodology and political science perspectives. Thus, the rhetorical promotion of national identification and the discursive construction and reproduction of national difference on public, semi-public and semi-private levels within a nation state are analysed in much detail and illustrated with a huge amount of examples taken from many genres (speeches, focus-groups, interviews, media, and so forth). In addition to the critical discourse analysis of multiple genres accompanying various commemorative and celebratory events in 1995, this extended and revised edition is able to draw comparisons with similar events in 2005. The impact of socio-political changes in Austria and in the European Union is also made transparent in the attempts of constructing hegemonic national identities.

Virgil's Aeneid invites its reader to identify with the Roman nation whose origins and destiny it celebrates. But, as J. D. Reed argues in Virgil's Gaze, the great Roman epic satisfies this identification only indirectly--if at all. In retelling the story of Aeneas' foundational journey from Troy to Italy, Virgil defines Roman national identity only provisionally, through oppositions to other ethnic identities--especially Trojan, Carthaginian, Italian, and Greek--oppositions that shift with the shifting perspective of the narrative. Roman identity emerges as multivalent and constantly changing rather than unitary and stable. The Roman self that the poem gives us is capacious--adaptable to a universal nationality, potentially an imperial force--but empty at its heart. However, the incongruities that produce this emptiness are also what make the Aeneid endlessly readable, since they forestall a single perspective and a single notion of the Roman. Focusing on questions of narratology, intertextuality, and ideology, Virgil's Gaze offers new readings of such major episodes as the fall of Troy, the pageant of heroes in the underworld, the death of Turnus, and the disconcertingly sensual descriptions of the slain Euryalus, Pallas, and Camilla. While advancing a highly original argument, Reed's wide-ranging study also serves as an ideal introduction to the poetics and principal themes of the Aeneid.

Cet ouvrage analyse les rapports entre identité, médias et liens sociaux au Maghreb. Quels modes ou modèles de comportements – individuels ou collectifs – peuvent-être adoptés ? Qui peut les revendiquer ? Quels rôles jouent la nation et la religion dans l’adoption de telle ou telle pratique ? Comment parler de la tradition aujourd’hui… ? Ces questions traversent les présentes contributions, issues d’un travail collectif mené à l’Institut de recherche sur le Maghreb contemporain entre 1993 et 1996. Les thèmes traités – citons la presse dans le Tanger cosmopolite du début du siècle, la reconfiguration des liens familiaux par la télévision tunisienne au cours du ramadan, ou encore l’analyse des vêtements « islamiques » – offrent des réponses détaillées et nuancées à ces interrogations. Les lieux, par ailleurs, marquent leur importance, autant par leur histoire spécifique que comme vecteurs de sociabilité. Les liens qui s’y développent, à l’instar des vies qui s’y expriment, inscrivent ainsi des itinéraires où alternent mouvements et haltes. Qui sait mieux que les Maghrébins anciens d’Indochine la difficulté de situer leur mémoire ? Quelles trajectoires, imaginaires ou guidées, suivent le touriste ou le jeune écoutant du raï ? Si ces études sont résolument liées à l’espace social et géographique du Maghreb, elles rendent compte de l’imbrication complexe et mouvante de cet espace dans des « réseaux de référence » plus larges. Ces approches concrètes, menées dans des « lieux » variables, apportent une contribution aux débats actuels sur la globalisation et le rôle des médias.
