Sport, Representation and Evolving Identities in Europe
Sport annually mobilizes millions of people across Europe: as practitioners in a wide variety of competitive, educational, or recreational contexts, and as spectators, who are physically present or following events through the mass media. This book presents original research into modern sport funded by the Irish Research Council for the Humanities and Social Sciences. Its aim is to examine the distinctive contribution made by this complex phenomenon to the construction of European identities. Attention is focused on sport's social significance, as a set of mass-mediated practices and spectacles giving rise to a network of images, symbols, and discourses. The book seeks to explore, and ultimately to explain, the processes of representation and mediation involved in the sporting construction, and subsequent renegotiation, of local, national, and, increasingly, global identities. It offers a survey of key developments in sporting Europe - from the mid-nineteenth century to the present, and from the Atlantic to the Urals - presenting findings by acknowledged international experts and emerging scholars at the level of individuals, communities, regions, nation-states, and Europe as a whole, in both its geographical and political incarnations. Its focus on representation offers a broadly conceived, and consciously inclusive, approach to issues of 'Europeanness' in modern and contemporary sport.
Evolving Identities
Evolving Identities is an analysis of the English language in two historically-linked Southeast nation states, Singapore and Malaysia. It details what it means to use English as an everyday language in these countries, and as the medium of international currency at the same time. Written by leading practitioners, the volume is organised in terms of three broad perspectives: macro-linguistic issues, micro-linguistic ones, and the wider implications for recording descriptive (and prescriptive) norms in the dictionary -- since it is the role of the dictionary to record the language. This book will appeal to those who have the vested interest of understanding the nature of linguistic hybridity and resolving its use in both local and global settings.
Strategic Currents: "Triggered" And "Mobilised": Evolving Identities And Implications For National Cohesion And Security
This book offers a unique exploration of the shifting nature of identities and their broader implications. As times change, people's identities and ideologies have evolved, expanding the scope of national cohesion and security. It delves into four such ideologies — Far-Right Extremism, Hindutva, the Woke Movement, and Environmental/Climate Activism — examining their rise and impact.Strategic Currents: 'Triggered' and 'Mobilised' analyses how today's youth are being influenced or mobilised toward various forms of extremism. The youth of Singapore are not immune to this trend; the easy access to global information accelerates the process of self-radicalisation. This book offers insights into how best to mitigate these risks and protect social cohesion.
