Identity Elements

A identidade cultural moçambicana forja-se pela força do diálogo e da articulação funcional de diferentes identidades. Neste particular, a obra de Mia Couto destaca-se pelo modo único como congrega a riqueza desse mecanismo, afirmando-se como um interlocutor original no processo de construção da identidade nacional para o qual concorrem diversos elementos identitários que formam a especificidade moçambicana no conjunto da africanidade. Viajante do tempo, Mia Couto faz a história (e a identidade) moçambicana pela soma de um enorme conjunto de estórias, marca de um conhecimento ancestral que se revela necessário para a construção de um novo paradigma identitário – uma identidade que se constrói no compromisso entre o passado e o presente – que o autor vai afinando em cada nova obra porque se reconhece como “mulato de existências” que anseia pela esperança do futuro.********************************************************************Mia Couto: traveler and tuner of identitiesAbstract: Mozambique's cultural identity is forged by the force of dialogue and functional articulation of different identities. In this regard, Mia Couto’s work is distinguished by the unique way he brings together the wealth of this mechanism, asserting itself as an original party in the national identity building process to which many identity elements contribute to form the Mozambican specificity in set of Africanness. Time traveler, Mia Couto makes Mozambican history (and identity) summing up a huge set of stories, marks of an ancestral knowledge that proves necessary for the construction of a new identity paradigm – an identity that is built on a compromise between past and present – that the author tunes in each new work because he is recognized as "mulatto of existences" that yearns for future hope.Keywords: Mozambique; Mia Couto; Identity; Tradition; Hybridity

RÉSUMÉ. Cette étude propose d’aborder le néologisme du point de vue de l’identité dans un contexte algérien. Il s’agit d’expliquer comment les éléments identitaires et le profil identitaire algériens construisent le profil sémantique d’une lexie, puis élaborent un caractère néologique ou une reconstruction néologique. C’est une recherche réalisée à partir d’un travail de description des éléments identitaires développés dans des séquences discursives variées. Les textes portant des passages sont produits par des journalistes, ils traitent le sujet de l’identité nationale et socioculturelle algériennes dans un épisode sociopolitique marqué par des mutations à savoir le Printemps arabe. L’analyse de ces données consiste à décrire les différentes interprétations, une tâche  qu’impose la sémantique du prototype ainsi que la théorie de représentation. Ce travail réalise que l’emploi d’une nouvelle lexie importée ou construite discursivement s’ouvre à une construction sémantique particulière dans un discours médiatique algérien, son sémantisme affiche, souvent, des potentialités sémantiques s’attachant fortement à l’identité sociale et nationale ainsi qu’aux contextes socioculturel et historique algériens. Enfin, l’étude met en valeur les références socioculturelles identitaires favorables à une construction néologique, et décrit un processus psycho-social actif dans la construction du sens. Mots-clés : identité, néologisme, positionnement historique, répertoire psychosocial, référence identitaire, stéréotype identitaire, stéréo-néologisme.     ABSTRACT. The study proposes to approach neologism from the point of view of identity in an algerian context. It aims to explain how Algerian identity elements and identity patterns build the semantic profile of a lexicon, then elaborate a neologic character or a neological reconstruction. It is a research realized from a work of description of th identity elements developed in varied discursive sequences. The texts bearing passages are produced by journalists, they treat the subject the A lgerian national and socio-cultural identity in a socio-political episode marked by mutations namely the Arab Spring. The analysis of these data consists in describing the different interprétations, a task imposed by the semantics of the prototype as well as the théory of representation. This work realizes that the use of a new lexicon imported or constructed discursival opens to a particular semantic constructio in an Algerian media discourse, its semantism display, often, semantic potentialities strongly attaching to the social and national identity as well as the socio-cultural and historical contexts of A lgeria. Finaly, the study highlights socio-cultural identity references favorable to a neological construction, and describes an active psych-social process in the construction of meaning. Keywords: historical positioning, identity, identity référence, identity stereotype, neologism, psychosocial repertoire, stereo-neologism.

In this issue of Kalfou, my book The White Possessive: Power, Property, and Indigenous Sovereignty receives attention from three scholars whose work I admire and respect. George Lipsitz’s The Possessive Investment in Whiteness: How White People Profit from Identity Politics was seminal in conceptualizing the possessive logics of patriarchal white sovereignty, while Fiona Nicoll’s From Diggers to Drag Queens: Configurations of Australian National Identity heavily influenced my work on the formation of white national identity. Kim TallBear’s Native American DNA: Tribal Belonging and the False Promise of Genetic Science has been instructive in shaping my new work on the possessive racial logics of Indigenous identity fraud.

AbstractThe present paper is involved with the Pedagogical faculties’ students’ critique on the current educational system as it has been altered after 1981. The research was carried out utilizing both quantitative and qualitative tools. Students-voters participated in the interviews whereas active voters were difficult to be located to meet the research requirements. The dynamics of the specific political party is based on a popular profile in terms of standpoints related to economic, social and political issues. The research findings depict the students’ strong wish for a change of the curricula and a turn towards History and Religion as well as an elevation of the Greek historic events, as the History books that have been written and taught at schools over the past years contributed to the downgrading of the Greek national and cultural identity. There is also a students’ strong belief that globalization and the immigrants’ presence in Greece have functioned in a negative way against the Greek ideal. Therefore, an overall change of the educational content could open the path towards the reconstruction of the moral values and the Greek national identity.

Nation branding plays a central role within neoliberal governmentality, operating as a technology of power in the configuration of emerging cultural and political formations such as national identity, citizenship and the state. The discussion of the advertising spot Perú, Nebraska  released as part of the Nation Branding campaign Marca Perú  in May of 2011, constitutes a great opportunity to: (i) argue about the way in which audiovisual advertisement products, designed as performative devises, operate as technologies of power; and (ii) problematize the terms in which it founds a new social contract for the Peruvian multicultural national community. This analysis will allow me to approach neoliberalism as a cultural regime in order to discuss the ideological nature of the uncontested celebratory discourse that has emerged in Perú and which explains the economic growth of the last decades as the outcome of a national entrepreneurial spirit that would be distinctive of Peruvian cultural identity.

Ivan Cankar (1876–1918), who occupies an honorable place in the Slovenian cultural canon, once changed the course of development of Slovenian literature and influenced the formation of national identity. The national narrative of Cankar was based on contradictions: living far from his people, he sometimes glorified them and sometimes attacked them with heavy criticism; he correlated his homeland with his mother, the mother though being dead. Cankar’s concentration on the subject of mother and homeland is interpreted here in the framework of psychoanalysis. Following Slavoj Žižek, the author develops the idea that it was the mother who became the Symbolic Order representative or Super-Ego for the writer. The concept of “Cankar’s mother”, which became a symbol of self-sacrifice and at the same time repressiveness in the Slovenian cultural space, is considered.

In the Search for a National Idea: Krajowość in the Beginning of the Twentieth Century as an Attempt at “Lithuanian Poles’" IdeologyKrajowość as the national ideology of the “civil” (or “political”) type developed in Belarus and Lithuania at the beginning of the twentieth century. The adherents of krajowośćclaimed that all native inhabitants of historical Lithuania, disregarding their ethno-cultural identity, are “the citizens of the Kraj” [the Countrymen] and therefore belong to one nation. Some called them “the nation of Lithuanians.” The category of “the native inhabitants” was used in relation to the Lithuanians, Belarusians, Poles, Jews, and almost never to Russians. As the main criterion for a national identity they proclaimed patriotism and self-identification as citizens.The krajowość idea appeared among the nobility. Its representatives belong to the combined Polish culture in respect of their own Lithuanian and Belarusian origin. The former Grand Duchy of Lithuania was interpreted by them as a historical native land. It was the determining factor in the formation of a new identity.All adherents of krajowość (Michal Romer, Roman Skirmunt, Kanstancyja Skirmuntt, Ludwik Abramovich, etc.) belonged to the group of the “Lithuania (vel Belarus) Poles”. Despite their intentions, the krajowość idea was formed on the basis of the “Lithuanian Poles’” struggle for their own place in the new society. As a result, the ideology for “Lithuanian Poles” was created, but it could not neutralize the existing Polish-Lithuanian-Belarusian conflict. W poszukiwaniu idei narodowej: „krajowość” początku XX wieku jako próba ideologii „Polaków litewskich”„Krajowość”, czyli ,,ideologia krajowa”, została sformułowana na Białorusi i Litwie na początku XX wieku. Krajowcy stwierdzali, że wszyscy rdzenni mieszkańcy historycznej Litwy, niezależnie od ich etnokulturowej i stanowej przynależności, należą do jednego „narodu Litwinów”. Za główne kryteria owej narodowej przynależności uznano poczucie patriotyzmu w stosunku do Litwy historycznej. Jednym z celów krajowości było pogodzenie partykularnych interesów miejscowych narodów z ich ogólnym interesem, pod jakim rozumiano dobro wspólnej Ojczyzny, historycznej Litwy. Jednak mimo zamiarów ideologów, którzy mówili o „obywatelach Kraju”, krajowość wyrosła z poszukiwania przez Polaków litewskich swego miejsca w nowym społeczeństwie. Koncepcja krajowa była ideologią Polaków litewskich, stworzoną przede wszystkim dla nich. Z postanowieniami krajowców była związana przede wszystkim perspektywa polskości na Litwie historycznej.

In light of the gap in the national identity research, this study proposes, constructs, and examines the path to national identity by using a mixed-method approach. Study 1 collected 502 questionnaires from Chinese tourists, and Study 2 conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 tourists. The findings confirm that cultural and creative tourism contributes to the construction of tourists’ national identity. Tourists’ long-term implicit cultural memory and short-term explicit cultural learning are the double guarantees for forming tourists’ cultural identity. Importantly, tourists’ cultural identity plays a critical mediating role in promoting national identity. Moreover, the interactive effect of cultural experience and creative performance accelerates the construction process of tourists’ national identity. This study consolidates the sociopolitical significance of cultural and creative tourism for national identity through a rare mixed method and identifies the specific role of the cultural factors affecting national identity, thereby providing great theoretical contributions and practical value.

The article is devoted to the study of places of worship in traditional Mari culture, which are in varying degrees of sacredness. They have so far preserved artifacts and symbols that form the cultural identity of the people. The Mari religion in the most complete local traditions preserves the system of pagan cults and rites. The trend towards the revival of pagan religion and the creation of religious organizations and communities is associated with a general upsurge in national identity. This became necessary in the context of national movements as a means of ethnic self-defense and a factor of ethnocultural revival. Original ethnocultural traditions and formative elements of folk architecture are relevant and important in the design of modern architectural complexes and the creation of small architectural forms in folk architecture, landscape design, and the formation of an ethnocultural environment. Further sacralization of places of worship will contribute to the preservation of natural monuments and the manifestation of artifacts and symbols of cultural identity.
