Neither sacred nor profane: holocaust representations in Israeli sports media / Tamir, Ilan; Levy, Moshe   Journal Article
Tamir, Ilan Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract The significant changes undergone by Israeli society notwithstanding, the Holocaust remains one of the foremost components of the collective memory, increasingly evoked in the public space including the media, popular music, and sports. Focusing on the infiltration of Holocaust discourse into the sphere of sports, as reflected in media coverage of sporting events, this article reveals a wide spectrum of Holocaust uses ranging from the derogatory to the laudatory – as means to inspire performance and extol achievements and unique sports moments.

Re-scripting the nation in ‘post truth’ era: the Indian story / Ranganathan, Maya   Journal Article
Ranganathan, Maya Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract This paper evaluates the ways in which new national narratives are sought to be constructed in ‘post-truth’ era – marked by what Harsin terms competing convictions, discord and confusion and attempts to manage the communication environment. New technologies and online spaces facilitate the ‘re-creation’ and ‘re-construction’ of the past and are co-opted in the nation building project. In the context of extensive studies on how the democratic potential of new technologies is subverted, this paper calls for specific attention to the ways in which (imprecise) history forms part of discursive nationalism in present times. Taking up India as a case study, the paper explores and evaluates the strategies employed in the rescripting of the national narrative potentially leading to new national memory.
