Musik ist immer auch Spiegel und Kristallisationspunkt gesellschaftlicher Paradigmen und politisch-nationaler Identitätsdiskurse. Der vorliegende Sammelband vereint Beiträge zu historischen und gegenwärtigen Fragestellungen, die um das Verhältnis von Politik und musikalischem Schaffen kreisen. Im ersten Teil sind Beiträge zusammengefasst, die sich mit "Musikalischer Identität und politischer Realität" befassen und dabei ideologische Zuschreibungsprozesse im Musikdiskurs thematisieren. Der zweite Teil des Bandes umfasst Betrachtungen über "(Musikalische) Konstruktionen von eigener und fremder Identität" aus verschiedensten nationalen Zusammenhängen. Music always mirrors and acts as a focal point for social paradigms and discourses surrounding political and national identity. The essays in this volume combine contributions on historical and present-day questions about the relationship between politics and musical creativity. The first part concentrates on musical identity and political reality, discussing ideological values in musical discourses.The second part deals with (musical) constructions, drawing on diverse national connections within our own and foreign identity.

Doelstelling: De masterproef probeert aan te tonen hoe de culturele identiteit van Schotland wordt voorgesteld in de Nederlandse en de Vlaamse pers vanaf 1990. De studie bevat twee perspectieven: een thematische discussie van thema's die werden besproken en een stilistische en grammaticale discussie van het figuurlijk taalgebruik in de Nederlandse en Vlaamse pers. In de stilistische discussie worden de metaforen uit de geselecteerde artikelen geanalyseerd op basis van hun metaforische patronen. Bij de grammaticale discussie ten slotte worden de metaforen die werden aangetroffen, ingedeeld volgens hun woordklasse. Middelen of methode: Vlaamse en Nederlandse krantenartikels werden verzameld door middel van de online database van LexisNexis. Op die manier werden 51 Nederlandse en Vlaamse krantenartikels gevonden die werden gepubliceerd tussen 1990 en 2009 en die aantonen hoe de politieke en culturele identiteit van Schotland wordt voorgesteld in de Nederlandse en Vlaamse pers. De krantenartikels behandelen vooral thema's zoals Schotse devolutie en onafhankelijkheid. In de artikels werden 219 metaforen aangetroffen die relevant zijn om te achterhalen hoe de politieke en culturele identiteit van Schotland wordt voorgesteld in de Vlaamse en Nederlandse pers. Deze metaforen werden verder ingedeeld volgens de cognitieve metafoortheorie van Lakoff & Johnson, namelijk volgens de bron- en doeldomeinen die werden gebruikt bij het vormen van metaforische patronen, en volgens hun grammaticale woordsoort. Bovendien werd er een lijst aangelegd van thematische discussies die relevant zijn voor de beeldvorming van Schotland. Resultaten: De studie heeft enkele waardevolle thematische en stilistische bevindingen opgeleverd. De thematische discussie, enerzijds, toont bijvoorbeeld aan dat een figuur als Sean Connery een heel belangrijke rol speelt in de onafhankelijkheidsstrijd. De stilistische studie, anderzijds, toont aan dat Schotland bijvoorbeeld vaak wordt afgebeeld als een proefkonijn en een muis, terwijl Engeland wordt gezien als een grote olifant. Schotland is bijgevolg de Engelse bemoeienissen beu geworden en de onafhankelijkheidsbeweging kwam zo stilaan op gang: de Schotse devolutielocomotief is aan het sporen richting het eindstation: volledige onafhankelijkheid van het Verenigd Koninkrijk. De thematische discussie toonde echter aan dat door recente ontwikkelingen Schotse inwoners niet meer zo'n felle voorstanders zijn van volledige onafhankelijkheid en dat ze al van in het begin de SNP steunden, omdat ze genoeg hadden van de conservatieve Conservative Party en de sociaaldemocratische Labour Party. De grammaticale bevindingen, ten slotte, stroken grotendeels met de bevindingen van Cameron (2003): de metaforische patronen waren vooral opgebouwd uit naamwoorden, werkwoorden en voorzetsels en niet uit adjectieven en bijwoorden. Niettemin had ik wel meer voorzetsels en werkwoorden verwacht en minder naamwoorden.

By the end of the 1920's, just ten years after the Jones Act first made them full-fledged Americans, more than 45,000 native Puerto Ricans had left their homes and entered the United States, citizenship papers in hand, forming one of New York City's most complex and distinctive migrant communities. In Puerto Rican Citizen, Lorrin Thomas for the first time unravels the many tensions-historical, racial, political, and economic-that defined the experience of this group of American citizens before and after World War II. Building its incisive narrative from a wide range of archival sources, interviews, and first-person accounts of Puerto Rican life in New York, this book illuminates the rich history of a group that is still largely invisible to many scholars. At the center of Puerto Rican Citizen are Puerto Ricans' own formulations about political identity, the responses of activists and ordinary migrants to the failed promises of American citizenship, and their expectations of how the American state should address those failures. Complicating our understanding of the discontents of modern liberalism, of race relations beyond black and white, and of the diverse conceptions of rights and identity in American life, Thomas's book transforms the way we understand this community's integral role in shaping our sense of citizenship in twentieth-century America.

This collection of fifteen essays by scholars from the UK, the US, Germany, and Scandinavia revisits the question of German identity. Unlike previous books on this topic, however, the focus is not exclusively on national identity in the aftermath of Hitler. Instead, the concentration is upon the plurality of ethnic, sexual, political, geographical, and cultural identities in modern Germany, and on their often fragmentary nature as the country struggles with the challenges of unification and international developments such as globalization, multiculturalism, and postmodernism. The multifaceted nature of German identity demands a variety of approaches: thus the essays are interdisciplinary, drawing upon historical, sociological, and literary sources. They are organized with reference to three distinct sections: Berlin, Political Formations, and Difference; yet at the same time they illuminate one another across the volume, offering a nuanced understanding of the complex question of identity in today's Germany. Topics include the new self-understanding of the Berlin Republic, Berlin as a public showcase, the Berlin architecture debate, the Walser-Bubis debate, fictions of German history and the end of the GDR, the impact of the German student movement on the FRG, Prime Minister Biedenkopf and the myth of Saxon identity, women in post-1989 Germany, trains as symbols and the function of the foreign in post-1989 fiction, identity construction among Turks in Germany and Turkish self-representation in post-1989 fiction, the state of German literature today. Contributors: Frank Brunssen, Ulrike Zitzlsperger Janet Stewart, Kathrin Schödel, Karen Leeder, Ingo Cornils, Peter Thompson, Chris Szejnmann, Sabine Lang, Simon Ward, Roswitha Skare, Eva Kolinsky, Margaret Littler, Katharina Gerstenberger, and Stuart Parkes. Stuart Taberner is Lecturer in German, and Frank Finlay is Professor of German and Head of the Department of German, both at the University of Leeds, UK.
