Author(s):  
Alaigul Karabaevna Bekboeva

This article considers the role of the media as a partner of the state and society, as well as spontaneity. Due to this, media serve as one of the factors in the formation of national self-consciousness and its elements, such as shame. The author analyzes such element of national identity as national shame. It is proved that national shame as a social phenomenon has a social meaning of the regulator of human relationships in social existence. It is noted that national shame is socially determined, has a permanent character, and its socially significant semantic principles are passed from generation to generation as a form of behavior through implantation and interspersing it as a daily norm of people's behavior, giving each act a value-significant meaning.

Artiklen beskriver fodboldspillets rolle i grænselandet, for fastholdelsen af det danske sindelag for en befolkning, der var udsat for såvel tysk som dansk kulturel sindelagspåvirkning. Jørn Hansen: Football in the border region. The struggle for the youth and illegal work in Tønder until 1945 On November 18th 1944 Aage Buhl Rosenkjær died in a German work-camp for prisoners of war in Svesing near Husum. In 1920 Rosenkjær had been appointed as a teacher at Tønder State School, one of the new Danish ‘gymnasiums’ or high schools that were established after 1920 in Danish market towns. It was Rosenkjær’s activities as a teacher of ball games and gymnastics and his community work as voluntary head of Tønder Sports Association and Tønder County Athletics Association that left significant marks on the small border community in Tønder. His interest in sport and his sympathies for Denmark lead to an involvement in work with young people, which during the course of the 1930s developed into a battle between proponents of Danish and German sympathies in the recruitment of young people. The article takes a closer look at the role of football and Rosenkjær in the border region in retaining and extending Danish sympathies in relation to a population that was exposed to both German and Danish national consciousness. This is an influence in which – as far as the formation of national identity is concerned – sports history has most often accorded a decisive role to gymnastics and German »turnen« (gymnastics). However, particular circumstances relating to the border region meant that football played a more decisive role for those who were to choose a national standpoint.

This article aims to characterise the positive and negative aspects of being a national minority, using the example of the German minority in the Opolskie Voivodeship and the category of social welfare in the sociological sense. In order to conceptualise and operationalise the idea of national identity, attention has been focused mainly on its cultural determinants, with particular emphasis on the role of language and organisational activity. The empirical exploration of the research questions was based on surveys, carried out by the authors of the article on behalf of the Social-Cultural Society of Germans in Opole Silesia (SCSG) in the summer of 2019, among members of the German minority organisation.   [1] The research was carried out in the period from June to August 2019 as part of the SCSG's campaign entitled “The German minority has a value”, financed by the Polish Ministry of Interior and Administration.

Per Jørgensen: Danish national identity and the media at the Olympic Games 1908-1960It has often been said that sport, and not least soccer, plays an important role in the construction of national identity. This is also the case in Denmark. This paper examines how the subject of Danish national consciousness, national feelings and nationalism, in the article collectively called »Danishness«, was culturally expressed through sport journalism in the period 1908-1960. The subject matter is the soccer- tournaments in those specific Olympic Games where Denmark took part. The discourse of the sport journalism in the paper »Politiken« has been hermeneutically analyzed. Research on how nationalism is expressed in one country requires international comparisons to allow theoretical generalizations. Therefore a minor study of the sport journalism of the Swedish newspaper »Dagens Nyheter« has been carried out regarding selected soccer-matches with Swedish participation in the Olympic Games in 1912, 1948 and 1952. Many of the characteristics of present day society referred to as »Danishness« are also explicit in the period 1908-1960 in the newspaper »Politiken«. A comparison between »Politiken« and »Dagens Nyheter« seems to show that the Danish discourse has distinctively Danish characteristics.

The article comprehends the ideological-political, historiosophical beliefs of Ulas Samchuk, the author’s vision and understanding of Ukraine, projections of national identity and the specifics of their translation into the writer’s artistic texts. It is noted that his literary works as spiritual and aesthetic organisms necessarily combine knowledge of geopolitics, internal attitudes and beliefs, the author’s will, translated within the chosen style of presentation. The priority for the writer is the initial foundations of artistic thinking, which depend on the success of the search for Ukraine and ukrainism. The material for their creation became details, pictures, facts that belonged to thewriter’s memory, the ideological meaning was determined by the thinking of the utopian politician, and the content — by the imagination of the patriot — exile. It is noted that in consideration of the European (in geographical terms) origin of Ukraine, its future, according to Ulas Samchuk, is certainly connected with Europe. It is important to awaken the national consciousness and human dignity of Ukrainians in order to obtain the freedom. The writer considers the Khutor as a form of preserving the national identity of Ukrainian people, the centre of the state world of Ukraine and the type of a person whose traits in the gradation of social values are decisive. Ulas Samchuk comprehends the role of a person of art in history, society, and notes that a humanistic personality with a certain lifestyle is the spiritual guide of the people. The vast majority of Ulas Samchuk’s political and ideological beliefs is represented in his prose works by appropriately organized means of artistic speech.

In this paper I will consider the ways in which national identity is constructed through football, by analyzing different case studies foremost in the countries of Western Europe which are, in public narratives, signified as “developed”. I will attempt to point out the fact that, despite the weakening of the prerogative of the nation-state, the identity which refers to such a state is still strong, and that football is one of those cultural elements though which such identification is encouraged and supported. On the other hand, through analyzing the “nation building” through football project in countries which, supposedly represent the ideal for a transitional country like Serbia, in both the economic and political sense, it is my intent to point out that the ideology of nationalism and its instrumentalization in the media, such as that given in the examples, is by no means locally specific nor connected to so-called “insufficiently modernized societies”, where this term, in itself has the ideological weight in context – that we could thus refer to certain societies as “enough” or “completely” modernized. On the contrary, these models, more or less, function the same way everywhere, only they are historically determined, and greatly dependent on momentary power relations, or that which the dominant discourse in continual hegemonic struggles defines as the desirable image of “nation”, “economy” or anything else.

Internet is emerging as a value-neutral medium, but receives, withapplications offered over it, dimensions (imaginary or virtual) powerof unimaginable proportions. The young generations, born in theera of continuous improvement of the media and the technologicalinnovations that accompany it, are the “natives” of this age, and theolder generations are “strangers- newcomers” reciprocal to the yearsof age. Sociology, and other social sciences and humanities, are facingthe challenge of adopting new theoretical titles and its content,as compared to traditional names and contents. It refers to changingthe traditional paradigm of socialization of young generations, whichstrongly generates the conflict of traditional (return to the tradition ofthe Middle Ages and even earlier) and modern (the rejection of traditionand its eye for reform, then giving new content to the traditionalnotions). This also applies to parenting, education and upbringing, aswell as the role of society in general as traditional spatial, temporal,religious, ethnic, labor, gender and all other forms of its manifestation.Therefore, not only the present and the future are treated as virtual(imaginary), but the past is increasingly seen as virtual.

This article examines debates about national identity in the media landscape of post-referendum and post-independence South Sudan. Having never existed as a sovereign state and with its citizens being a minority group in Sudan, collective action among South Sudanese has historically been shaped in response to external pressures: in particular, the aggressive nation-building pursued by successive Khartoum governments that sought to Arabize and Islamize the South. Today, in the absence of a clear-cut enemy, it is a major challenge for South Sudan to devise a common identity that unites the putative nation beyond competing loyalties to ethnicity, tribe and family. Analysing opinion pieces from South Sudanese online media and placing them in the context of contemporary African nationalism, this article gives an initial overview of the issues that dominate the public debate on national identity: fear of tribalism and regionalism, commemoration of the liberation struggle, language politics, and the role of Christianity.

The author is concerned that modern schools do not actually produce personalities who have linguistic stability, who have extensive experience in language use, for whom language is a value and a means of self-realization, but rather small “devices” with different memory cards and content. Despite the obvious advance of the theory of the question, the author still had the feeling that something really important has not been taken into account, because the competence mechanism fails to be fully launched because the focus on knowledge indicators slows it down. The author considers a certain way out of the current situation a necessity to form a citizen during the study of school subjects, and therefore demonstrates the role of the Ukrainian language in solving this problem. The author offers an algorithm of actions on the problem of forming a citizen, which should be complete: knowledge contributes to the formation of skills, skills become the impetus to thinking, contribute to the emergence of feelings, on the basis of which there is an attitude without which there is no personality. If the attitude is formed, the student feels confident in the choice situation, their behavior is motivated. If a person is not trained to think and analyze, if a thought, decision, action is not the product of their efforts, operations, then they become mentally lazy, accustomed to consume a ready-made opinion, which is formed for them by the media, politicians, neighbors and even detractors. The author points out that the world no longer encourages people to possess knowledge - search engines know everything. An important result of school language education is the formation of a competent speaker.
