Latvia. Human Development Report 2010/2011: National identity, Mobility and Capability
2011
The 2010/2011 report was produced under the auspices of the national research programme „National Identity”. The job of the report is to survey the content of individual national belonging in the context of human development. The report particularly focuses on emigration issues, because human development is weakened by a reduction in the size of the country’s population. The fact that people are moving to other countries shows that there is an endless competition among identities, as well as a transformation of those identities. The report also reveals the set of circumstances and techniques (the ability to act) which facilitate links between an individual and a location or region. The firs…
The role of modern architecture and interior design in the Latvian brending
2013
The national identity or the originality of expression of a nation`s culture is an important factor that is confining identification of a numerically and geographically small country in the age of globalization, with an inestimable role in the nation's self-maintenance. The respect for cultural heritage and valuable contemporary architecture and interior design have invaluable importance in forming national identity. The main issues of Architecture and design about the functional and aesthetic, form and materials, arrangement and integrity have always been and currently are important. Each successive step is the continuation of previous experience. Then the language of Architecture and inte…
Salah Methnani’s Immigrato: Portrait of a Migrant as a Young Man
2012
Although after Unification Italy was predominantly a country of emigration, in recent years it has become a hub for migrants from different parts of the world. Among these migrants a group of writers has contributed to re-configuring Italy's national literary identity. Read by critics primarily as an autobiographical text with remarkable sociological value, Tunisian-born Salah Methnani’s Immigrato is, I argue, first and foremost a classic Bildungsroman. Salah, the 'immigrant' in the title, is the story's protagonist, point of view and leading metaphor. His Bildung follows a double path. On the one hand Italy is a country imagined through TV and books read in school, on the other it is the c…

Il pranzo di Babele. Misunderstanding nel film "Il pranzo di Babette"
2013
“Il pranzo di Babette” (1987), trasposizione cinematografica del regista danese Gabriel Axel dell’omonimo racconto di Karen Blixen, inizialmente contenuto nella raccolta di scritti “Anectodes of Destiny” pubblicato a firma Isak Dinensen (pseudonimo della sua autrice) ha riscosso un unanime consenso di critica e pubblico, vincendo prestigiosi premi quali l’Oscar come miglior film straniero e la menzione speciale della giuria ecumenica del festival di Cannes, sbancando i botteghini in giro per il mondo. Il film è diventato un grande classico del cinema culinario, in grado di radicarsi nel senso comune e diventare pertanto fonte di ispirazione per letterati e cinefili che ne hanno analizzato …
A Polysystemic Study of Folk Literature in Nineteenth-Century Norway
1999
The Norwegian Folktales, collected, transcribed and re-written by Per Christian Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe from 1842, had a pivotal role in the shaping of a cultural and linguistic identity in the emerging nation-state. After four centuries of ‘union’ where Denmark and Sweden were the dominant partners, Norway was finally declared an independent nation state in 1914. The folktales, handed down orally through the generations across the country, embodied important symbolical, cultural and linguistic characteristics from the rural environment. The paper describes the context and process through which The Norwegian Folktales influenced both the emerging natonal identity and the emerging Norwegia…
De la patria (más) pequeña al mundo. Identidad nacional y socialismo español desde el País Valenciano (1931-1936)
2020
This article analyses the national discourse of Spanish socialism during the Second Republic and seeks to emphasise the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party’s identification with a Spanish national identity. Furthermore, by considering the case of the Valencian Region (País Valenciano), it points to ways in which that identity was expressed, showing the role of the local and regional spheres in the socialist interpretation of national identity. In this way, the Valencian example enables us to explore the situation “from below”, by studying political approaches, speeches, rites and practices in the militant press. The article argues that the national discourse of Spanish socialism found a solid…
