Abstract

Die Monografie stellt eine framesemantische Beschreibung des Patriotismus im Deutschen und Polnischen dar, und zwar eine einzelsprachliche Erfassung des Frames sowie Ergebnisse einer kontrastiven Analyse. Das Untersuchungskorpus besteht aus deutschen und polnischen Printmedien mit einem breiten ideologischen Spektrum: von links über liberal bis rechtskonservativ und katholisch. Den theoretisch-methodologischen Hintergrund bilden Framesemantik, Diskurslinguistik und kognitive Ethnolinguistik. Die Untersuchung konzentriert sich auf die Standardwerte des Frames, die dem Stereotyp in der kognitiven Ethnolinguistik entsprechen, und auf bestimmte ideologische Profilierungen des Stereotyps. Die kontrastive Analyse dient der Verdeutlichung diverser Diskurspositionen und Argumentationstopoi in ideologischer, aber auch in sprach- und kulturbezogener Hinsicht. Die Diskursanalyse deckt den für den Diskurs spezifischen Wortschatz, darunter saliente Konzepte, mit dem Status der Schlagwörter auf. Im Ergebnis kommen die Strukturierung des Diskurses mittels diskurssemantischer Grundfiguren sowie die Problematik der Enttabuisierung des Patriotismus in den beiden Kulturgemeinschaften zum Vorschein.

Abstract

Un spectre hante la Russie poutinienne : celui de Joseph Staline.Lorsqu’il a agressé l’Ukraine, Vladimir Poutine a évoqué la « Grande Guerre patriotique » ainsi que l’on désigne à Moscou l’affrontement militaire avec l’Allemagne entre 1941 et 1945, se posant en défenseur de la patrie assiégée par un ennemi aussi vague qu’insaisissable qui mêle l’« Occident décadent » au nazisme.Au-delà de l’imposture du parallèle historique entre l’attaque de l’URSS par la Wehrmacht et l’invasion du territoire ukrainien par l’armée russe, en se prévalant de l’exemple de son sinistre prédécesseur, Vladimir Poutine dévoile son vrai visage : celui d’un dirigeant incompétent, sanguinaire et ivre de pouvoir.Homme de mensonges, convaincu par sa propre propagande aussi absurde qu’inconstante, Vladimir Poutine par ses actes et dans ses discours manipule les mémoires et insulte les héros morts au combat contre les – vrais – nazis tout en laissant commettre crime de guerre sur crime de guerre.Il était temps de rétablir la vérité à l’aide des faits historiques qui, eux, ne mentent pas.

Abstract

How does one package and sell confidence in the stability of a nation riven by civil strife? This was the question that loomed before the Philadelphia financial house of Jay Cooke & Company, entrusted by the US government with an unprecedented sale of bonds to finance the Union war effort in the early days of the American Civil War. How the government and its agents marketed these bonds revealed a version of the war the public was willing to buy and buy into, based not just in the full faith and credit of the United States but also in the success of its armies and its long-term vision for open markets. From Maine to California, and in foreign halls of power and economic influence, thousands of agents were deployed to sell a clear message: Union victory was unleashing the American economy itself.

Abstract

"This book seeks to reassess and shed new light on pan-nationalisms in general and on Scandinavianism/Nordism in particular, by seeing them as possible futures and as interconnected ideas and practices across and beyond Europe. An actor and practice oriented approach is applied at the expense of more essentialist categorizations of what pan-nationalism is, or is not to underline both the synchronic and diachronic diversity of various pan-national movements. A range of expert international scholars discuss encounters, transfers, similarities and differences among pan-movements in Norden and Europe based on a broad empirical material, focusing on Scandinavianism/Nordism, pan-Slavism, pan-Turanism, pan-Germanism and Greater Netherlandism, and the position of Britishness in Great Britain. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of nationalism, European history, European studies and Scandinavian studies, history, social science, political geography, civil society and literary studies"--

Abstract

Nationalism in a nation-state reflects its emergent structural, cultural, and personal properties at a given time. In the politico-historical context of South Korea and the globe, the fruits of the 1968 Revolution in France could not reach Korean society under its military regime and exploitative economic structure. This continued to frustrate the grassroots and especially social actors in South Korea, which eventually brought about the June Struggle in 1987 and the 2016-2017 Candlelight Revolution. Calculated Nationalism in Contemporary South Korea sketches Korean grassroots' perception of their nation-state, national identities, and what they desire regarding the future direction of their nation-state. The grassroots have openly spoken out about their frustrations through political rallies and media. This book attempts to reflect the minds of Korean progressives regarding, in particular, the forcibly recruited Japanese military "comfort women," Abe's trade provocation against South Korea in 2019, reunification, the 2016-2017 Candlelight Revolution, National Flag-carriers' struggles, and bullying at work.

Abstract

The First World War required the mobilisation of entire societies, regardless of age or gender. The phrase 'home front' was itself a product of the war with parts of Britain literally a war front, coming under enemy attack from the sea and increasingly the air. However, the home front also conveyed the war's impact on almost every aspect of British life, economic, social and domestic. In the fullest account to-date, leading historians show how the war blurred the division between what was military and not, and how it made many conscious of their national identities for the first time. They reveal how its impact changed Britain for ever, transforming the monarchy, promoting systematic cabinet government, and prompting state intervention in a country which prided itself on its liberalism and its support for free trade. In many respects we still live with the consequences.

Abstract

Intimation of Revolution studies the rise of Bengali nationalism in East Pakistan in the 1950s and 60s by showcasing the interactions between global politics and local social and economic developments. It argues that the revolution of 1969 and the national liberation struggle of 1971 were informed by the 'global sixties' that transformed the political landscape of Pakistan and facilitated the birth of Bangladesh. Departing from the typical understanding of the Bangladesh as a product of Indo-Pakistani diplomatic and military rivalry, it narrates how Bengali nationalists resisted the processes of internal colonization by the Pakistani military bureaucratic regime to fashion their own nation. It details how this process of resistance and nation-formation drew on contemporaneous decolonization movements in Asia, Africa, and Latin America while also being shaped by the Cold War rivalries between the USA, USSR, and China.
