Abstract

National identity is created through inclusions and exclusions; by who and what is included and who and what is excluded. This article examines how British identity was constructed, expressed, and re-constructed in the British press through articles about German Formula One driver Michael Schumacher in the 1990s and early 2000s. The representations of Schumacher, and the frequent invocations of the Second World War, illuminate insecurities in the British press about Britain’s role in the world and their concerns about a newly reunited Germany playing a more prominent role on the global stage.

重建英国身份:f1、迈克尔·舒马赫和世纪之交的英国媒体

国家认同是通过包容和排斥创造出来的;谁和什么包括在内，谁和什么不包括在内。本文通过20世纪90年代和21世纪初关于德国f1车手迈克尔·舒马赫的文章，研究了英国媒体是如何构建、表达和重建英国身份的。对舒马赫的描述，以及对第二次世界大战的频繁引用，说明了英国媒体对英国在世界上的角色的不安全感，以及他们对新统一的德国在全球舞台上扮演更重要角色的担忧。

期刊介绍： Language & Intercultural Communication promotes an interdisciplinary understanding of the interplay between language and intercultural communication. It therefore welcomes research into intercultural communication, particularly where it explores the importance of linguistic aspects; and research into language, especially the learning of foreign languages, where it explores the importance of intercultural perspectives. The journal is alert to the implications for education, especially higher education, and for language learning and teaching. It is also receptive to research on the frontiers between languages and cultures, and on the implications of linguistic and intercultural issues for the world of work.
