This chapter shows how the humanization of sex is impeded. First, it is thwarted by the parading of cultural-identity images for the sexually dispossessed, to make money. These images become the tyrant gods of the secular society, undercutting its liberation from religion and transforming it into a kind of neotribal culture. Second, the authentic secularization of sex is checkmated by an anxious clinging to the sexual standards of the town, an era so recent and yet so different from today that simply to transplant its sexual ethos into today's situation is to invite hypocrisy of the worst degree. The chapter then looks at the spurious sexual models conjured up for the anxious society by the sorcerers of the mass media and the advertising guild. Like all pagan deities, these come in pairs—the god and his consort. For this chapter's purposes they are best symbolized by The Playboy and Miss America.

Main Factors

The article touches upon a relevant topic of national identity preservation in unrecognized states. The authors examine two polar approaches to defining the essence of unrecognized states and formulate their position. The main factors in the formation and preservation of national identity are identified and include family, the education system, and mass media. The influence of each factor is determined by the policy implemented by the state represented by its authorized bodies. Accounting for the effect of said factors, a range of problems hindering the development of national identity in youth living in unrecognized states is determined. The results of the conducted study allow concluding that the main problem uniting all unrecognized states regardless of their location lies in poor social and economic development. This, in turn, does not contribute to strengthening the position of the native language, traditions, and customs as the key elements of national and cultural identity.

Relational Network

The traditional Murrinhpatha conception of personhood is similar to what has been observed in other Australian Aboriginal societies, conceiving of the self as a node in a relational network of kinship. But since town settlement, traditional social roles have been radically reconfigured, with a series of economic and ideological factors conspiring to deprecate the role of young men. Murrinhpatha youth respond by embracing a rebellious sub-cultural identity, drawing on mass-media sources to re-imagine themselves as other types of persons. The Murrinhpatha language makes this re-imagining of personhood unusually explicit, since it uses separate grammatical categories to encode socially recognised “persons” versus other animate beings.
