History and myths / Medvedev, Roi   Journal Article
Medvedev, Roi Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2006.
Summary/Abstract Successful self-identification within the post-Soviet states often involves taking a new look at one's national history. Not all titular nations in the CIS had states of their own in the past, but all of them had a history on which to build their national self-consciousness.

Nationalism and the net: Online discussion of Goguryeo history in China and South Korea / Chase, Thomas   Journal Article
Chase, Thomas Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract This study investigates the growing volume of online discussion of Goguryeo history in both China and South Korea. While first analysing how nationalism and national identity underpin this historical dispute, this article then critiques common arguments that emerge within online Chinese and South Korean commentary on Goguryeo. The findings of this study show that while the Internet has facilitated a broadening of participation in the discussion of Goguryeo, this has not led to a more objective or rigorous treatment of this history, nor a more critical evaluation of its relationship to national identity. This study's findings also indicate that national identity is neither static nor monolithic, and that online discussion of Goguryeo history is part of a dynamic process contributing to the gradual change and evolution of national identity in both countries.

Pakistani Homeland for Buddhism: Displaying a National History for Pakistan beyond Islam, 1950–1969 / Amstutz, Andrew   Journal Article
Amstutz, Andrew Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This article explores the surprising role of the ancient Buddhist past in the construction of Pakistani national histories in museum exhibits and archaeological guides from 1950 to 1969. Although Pakistan was created as a homeland for Indian Muslims during the 1947 Partition of British India, Pakistani historians struggled to forge a unifying history for the new Muslim nation-state through Islam. In response, Pakistani museum curators co-opted and reframed Buddhist sculptures from before the arrival of Islam to differentiate Pakistan from India and to make sense of Pakistan’s recently drawn borders. They creatively retold the history of ancient Gandhara (first century BCE to fifth century CE), a Buddhist kingdom in northwest Pakistan and Afghanistan, to provide deep historical logic for Pakistan’s existence as a religious homeland in the mid twentieth century and to build global cultural connections to Southeast Asia and to Europe.

Reassessing Turkish National Memory: an analysis of the representation of Turkish National Memory by the AKP / Maessen, Enno   Journal Article
Maessen, Enno Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract In this article continuity and discontinuity of interpretations and manipulations of national memory during the successive governments of the Adalet ve Kalk?nma Partisi (Justice and Development Party - AKP) in Turkey are investigated. The strong continuities between the Islamist parties of the 1990s and the AKP, with regard to the way they consider and manipulate Ottoman history as a means of political legitimation, are demonstrated. In addition, the continuity between the AKP's style of governance and that of preceding governments is shown. The conclusion of the article is that, in addition to continuities with its Islamist predecessors, the AKP is to a large extent still embedded within the boundaries of the nationalist framework set out by Kemalism with regard to the party's stance on Turkish citizenship, national identity, traumas in national history and leader-centred politics.

Surveying East Timorese tertiary student attitudes to national / Leach, Michael   Journal Article
Leach, Michael Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract This article examines post-independence debates over national identity in East Timor, presenting the findings of a longitudinal survey (carried out in Dili in 2002 and 2007) of East Timorese tertiary student attitudes to national identity. The findings suggest that a younger generation of East Timorese partially contest the 'official' linguistic and cultural affiliations of the nation-state, while supporting other 'official' narratives of national history. In so doing, the findings highlight the difficult cultural legacies of consecutive colonial occupations. The paper also examines significant changes in these youth attitudes since independence, including a significant increase in the acceptance of the co-official status of the Portuguese language in the tertiary student demographic over the five-year period.
