| | Reforming Chile: Cultural Politics, Nationalism, and the Rise of the Middle Class, by Patrick Barr-Melej. Introduction. |
 | | Thus, through narration, debates, and policies, mesocrats with cultural capital in literature and pedagogy addressed aspects of the social question, strove for the ultimate decomposition of the elite's power, and propelled their own national project based on reformist cultural and political ideas that were enveloped in a nationalist discourse with strongly liberal democratic overtones. | | | The rise of an increasingly politicized Chilean working class and the persistence of oligarchic power convinced reformers of the Parliamentary Republic that cultural democratization in the form of compulsory primary instruction and the spread of an inclusive nationalism among students were pedagogical imperatives. | | | As we shall see, culturally and politically active elements of Chile's middle class pursued an alternative hegemony that, aside from undermining the preeminence of the oligarchic establishment, sought to suppress working-class radicalism. |

| | Nation, Nation State, Nationalism and National Cultural Integration |
| | This is a step in reconstituting a national myth that has been torn asunder for fifty years. | | | The experience of war can be a catastrophic experience for the losers which calls for a reexamination of their national myths, as in Japan. | | | We shall generally use the term "nation state" to delineate a bit of geography with political boundaries enclosing people who subscribe, in varying degrees, to a government. |

| | Cultural History |
| | Debates in the field of cultural policy were a part of the general political discussion between bourgeois, social democratic and communist parties. | | | It is important to stress that without local initiative the national awakening would never have resulted in the rise of the Estonian national self-consciousness that gradually ripened into the idea of the Estonian state. | | | By avoiding explicitly political themes, disguised political opposition could be expressed by means of national culture. |

| | Nationalism |
| | Particularistic nationalism is the political program claiming that some ethno-nation should have its state, without extending the claim to all ethno-nations. | | | A nation is a cultural group, possibly but not necessarily united by common descent, endowed with civic ties (Seymour 2000). | | | The most general reason is that it should first be shown that the political form of a nation state has some value as such, that a national community has a particular, or even preeminent moral and political value and that claims in its favor have normative validity. |

| | Ethnicity & Nationalism |
| | The same can be said for "nation" and "nationalism", and many of us have to admit that the meaning of these terms frequently seems ambiguous and vague. | | | During the 1980s and early 1990s, we have witnessed an explosion in the growth of scholarly publications on ethnicity and nationalism, particularly in the fields of political science, history, sociology and social anthropology. | | | Although there are interesting differences between particular nationalisms, nationalism as such is a modern ideology. |

| | National Culture vs. Cultural Nationalism |
| | As politics is the concentrated expression of economics, often political nationalism, particularly in its early phases, gets manifest in its economic demands. | | | In our country too, in the early phases of national movement, liberals represented by Dadabhai Naoroji although did not oppose British rule but criticised its discriminatory economic policies harming Indian industries as "un-British" and opposed the drain of Indian wealth to Britain. | | | Centrist formations and the erstwhile ruling party have refused to even voice national aspirations in the name of economic realism. |

| | Introduction |
| | I followed Verdery's theories about the relation between political power and cultural production; about nationalism and legitimation in the communist society; and about the mechanism of perceiving identity under a communist rule. | | | I designed this research as a case-study that can be a part of a more general debate regarding the role of the national ideology under the communist rule. | | | Michael Shafir's book: Romania, Politics, Economy and Society #7, has also helped me in analysing the dialectic of Romanian internal and external policies. |

| | Attempts by First Nations peoples to "come out of the closet" and protest their stereotyping in commercial culture provide poignant reminders of the political stakes in contemporary struggles over commodified representations. | | | The crisis is not merely a political economy question of the control of media, in the increasingly unequal world of globalization. | | | While the world of free software has certainly proved some of Rifkin’s speculations about the motivations of people in the contemporary era, it would be premature to conclude that the age of access has been established in all realms of knowledge and cultural production. |

| | Dana Kearns on Kids in the Hall |
| | Quite evidently, furthermore, comedy as a specimen of national culture has suffered, historically, from a deficiency of scholarly attention. | | | For Anderson, each nation is fundamentally just what his title proposes: an "imagined [political, although by extension also cultural] community". | | | Thus, as an outgrowth of Canada's new-found independence from the British control of its foreign policy and law-making procedures, and accordance with its ever-increasing degree of political sovereignty, the NFS sought to address the ever-growing question of developing a Canadian national culture. |

| | His state's power fashions political unity because, as he asserts, the national unity was always in place. | | | For Michelet, in history, that representation of the struggle between spirit and matter, France has a special place because the French became a people through equality, liberty, and fraternity. | | | Power-state theorist and multi-volume historian Heinrich von Treitschke's Politics talked about top-down nationalism in which the state is the creator of the nation, not a result thereof. |

| | Communication, Culture and Community: Towards A Cultural Analysis of Community Media |
| | In short, political economists have failed to consider a phenomenon that not only verifies their critical perspectives, but also demands their support. | | | Dr. Howley's research interests include critical-cultural analysis of community media, political economy of media industries, cultural politics, media history, and emerging technologies.. | | | Nowhere is this tendency more evident than in the recent spate of academic conferences, scholarly articles and edited volumes devoted to reorienting, refashioning, or otherwise revising the cultural studies project (Ferguson & Golding, 1997; McRobbie, |

| | During the Milosevic era, Yugoslavia was labeled a prison not only by the political opposition now in power but also by the cultural community that refused to be associated with the regime. | | | I think that it remains an important question whether this politically awakened citizenry will continue to be present as a political force in this transition period. | | | The Center was born as a bridge between the cultural audience and the intellectual elite but also between marginal alternative projects and the mainstream culture, which no longer had any space to work in. |

| | Examples include William Duncan Strong's direct historical approach. | | | This assumption exemplifies Childe's materialist view of the past which was influenced by his Marxist beliefs. | | | Conversely, some archaeologists have also tried to argue that some supposedly distinctive cultures are really manifestations of a wider culture but with local differences based on environmental factors as with Clactonian man. |
