The modern nation-state of Turkey was established in 1923, but when and how did its citizens begin to identify themselves as Turks? Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, Turkey's founding president, is almost universally credited with creating a Turkish national identity through his revolutionary program to "secularize" the former heartland of the Ottoman Empire. Yet, despite Turkey's status as the lone secular state in the Muslim Middle East, religion remains a powerful force in Turkish society, and the country today is governed by a democratically elected political party with a distinctly religious (Islamist) orientation.
In this history, Gavin D. Brockett takes a fresh look at the formation of Turkish national identity, focusing on the relationship between Islam and nationalism and the process through which a "religious national identity" emerged. Challenging the orthodoxy that Atatürk and the political elite imposed a sense of national identity from the top down, Brockett examines the social and political debates in provincial newspapers from around the country. He shows that the unprecedented expansion of print media in Turkey between 1945 and 1954, which followed the end of strict, single-party authoritarian government, created a forum in which ordinary people could inject popular religious identities into the new Turkish nationalism. Brockett makes a convincing case that it was this fruitful negotiation between secular nationalism and Islam—rather than the imposition of secularism alone—that created the modern Turkish national identity.

Описание: When a word describing an emotion is said to be untranslatable, is that emotion untranslatable also? This unique study focuses on three word-concepts on the periphery of Europe, providing a wide-ranging survey of national identity and cultural essentialism, nostalgia, melancholy and fatalism, the production of memory and the politics of hope.

Today, indigenous communities throughout North America are grappling with the dual issues of language loss and revitalization. While many communities are making efforts to bring their traditional languages back through educational programs, for some communities these efforts are not enough or have come too late to stem the tide of language death, which occurs when there are no remaining fluent speakers and the language is no longer used in regular communication. The Maliseet language, as spoken in the Tobique First Nation of New Brunswick, Canada, is one such endangered language that will either be revitalized and survive or will die off.
Defying Maliseet Language Death is an ethnographic study by Bernard C. Perley, a member of this First Nation, that examines the role of the Maliseet language and its survival in Maliseet identity processes. Perley examines what is being done to keep the Maliseet language alive, who is actively involved in these processes, and how these two factors combine to promote Maliseet language survival. He also explores questions of identity, asking the important question: “If Maliseet is no longer spoken, are we still Maliseet?” This timely volume joins the dual issues of language survival and indigenous identity to present a unique perspective on the place of language within culture.

Описание: This book examines language, nation and identity from a gendered perspective and investigates to what extent women use Catalan in their everyday social practices to construct gendered and national identities. Drawing on a unique body of oral history interviews, the focus of the study is three female generations, covering 50 years of historical change from the 1960s to the present. What the Women Have to Say analyses the preservation of the Catalan language during Francos regime; how the emergence of a feminist movement and discourse, and changing patterns of migration, have transformed the relationship between gender and national identity in Catalonia; and the role that Catalan plays today in defining womens identities and as a nation-building tool. Additional analysis of a corpus of social media data explores the online Catalan discourses of nationalism and its gendered dimensions. A central interpretative tool is the concept of intersectionality, emphasising genders inter-connectedness with categories of class and ethnicity. An ntergenerational approach, and a focus on the local using a case study of a Catalan village outside the regions capital, opens new perspectives on the Catalan issue. By bringing together approaches from sociocultural linguistics and oral history, What the Women Have to Say provides important linkages between the economic, political and social circumstances pertaining today as they impact on the issue of nationalism in particular and in the wider discourses of nationalism, identity and migration in twenty-first century Europe.

Описание: Born in Millheim, Texas, to a family of German immigrants who moved to Texas in the wake of the 1848 revolution, William Andreas Trenckmann was a teacher, journalist, and publisher who successfully combined his German heritage with a new, distinctly Texan identity. His education was cultivated at the brand new Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas, where he distinguished himself as the valedictorian of the first graduating class; he later served on the college's board of directors and was even offered the presidency. From 1907 to 1909, he represented Austin County in the Texas legislature. Trenckmann's lasting contribution to Texas history, however, was the creation of Das Wochenblatt, a German-language weekly newspaper that he edited and published for over forty years.Das Wochenblatt became a popular and respected source of information for German-speaking immigrants, their descendants, and the Texas communities where they lived and worked. Through the paper, Trenckmann advocated for civil liberties and free elections. He also vigorously opposed prohibition, the Ku Klux Klan, and later the rise of Adolf Hitler and National Socialism. When the United States entered World War I, many German-language publications were suspended or otherwise heavily censored, but Trenckmann's newspaper was granted a rare exemption from the wartime government.From 1931 to 1933, Trenckmann serialized his memoirs, Erlebtes und Beobachtetes, or “experiences and observations.” In Preserving German Texan Identity, historians Walter L. Buenger and Walter D. Kamphoefner present a revised and annotated translation of those memoirs as a revealing window into the lives of German Texans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Автор: Yehuda Cohen Название: The Hungarians: Borders of Language and Dilemmas of Identity ISBN: 1536151076 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781536151077 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 204850.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: This volume provides deep insight into the Hungarians based on a detailed description of their history through more than a thousand years. The volume reaches the conclusion that, despite the national feelings of the Hungarians towards themselves and their heritage, they have recently carried out an internal process of transition over Hungarian sovereignty, having decided to grant the EU and its institutions sovereignty in Hungary over the supreme institutions of the Hungarian state, including the Parliament and the Constitutional Court. They attributed themselves to the broad European group that is in the process of crystallizing within the European Union - perhaps very much - the formation of a Pan-European nation linked to its homeland, which is Europe. The Hungarians channeled their pride as Hungarians towards standing on the path they had built within the EUs domestic politics. The volume describes that during the period of the existence of the Soviet bloc in Eastern Europe, their Prime Minister, KA dA r, the Communist-Hungarian leader who led them, was viewed by them as a person who protected Hungarian interests and character. Such preservation of Hungarian interests and character also existed during the Austro-Hungarian Empire period. For hundreds of years before the Turkish-Ottoman occupation, which lasted for 150 years, the Hungarians had been ruled by their own monarchy, of which the Hungarians were proud. Since their arrival in the Carpathian Basin at the end of the 9th century under the leadership of ArpA d and the acceptance of Christianity by them towards the year 1000, the Hungarians experienced major national events, including the Mongol invasion of Hungary in 1241, in which half of all Hungarians were killed. Following this invasion and the devastating loss of life that took place, the Hungarians absorbed many Europeans, mainly from Germany, who then became Hungarians. The Hungarian peasantrys involvement in political events of the Hungarians began before the peasants rebellion led by DA?zsa in 1514. This created a Hungarian folk nationality - more than 300 years before the idea of aanationality emerged in Europe. This volume is authored by Dr. Yehuda Cohen, who has intensively studied 10 European groups in two series dealing with nationality and post-nationality in Europe; he presents the novel notion that one pan-European nationality may take the place of a national vacuum that has been created in Europe after national groups in continental Europe have become post-nationalities. The ten groups investigated by Dr. Cohen are the Germans, the French, the Spanish, the Italians, the British, the Dutch, the Poles, the Hungarians, the Bulgarians and the Swedes. Of all these, the British alone were found to keep their nationality and prefer it over their European affiliation; the British alone were thus expected to leave the EU (the volume on the British coming to that conclusion had been published in 2014, more than a year before the referendum about the Brexit). Dr. Cohen also recently published a book on Islam and Muslims in Europe.
