Abstract

ABSTRACT Recent empirical research is examining national identity as a bottom–up process. Despite the promise held by social media in accessing the ‘black box’ of ordinary citizens’ national identity, literature on the subject is scarce. We study Greek national identity on Twitter, in relation to the acceptance of the agreement between Greece and Northern Macedonia about the name of the latter. Despite the systematic recourse to a plethora of references and symbols from antiquity in public discourse and mainstream media, we found that Twitter users made limited use of national identity markers and put a strong emphasis on the present.

推特上的希腊国家认同:重新协商标记和边界

最近的实证研究将国家认同视为一个自下而上的过程。尽管社交媒体承诺在获取普通公民国家身份的“黑箱”方面做出承诺，但有关这一主题的文献却很少。我们在Twitter上研究希腊的民族认同，这与希腊和北马其顿就后者的名称接受协议有关。尽管在公共话语和主流媒体中系统地求助于大量来自古代的参考和符号，但我们发现Twitter用户对国家身份标记的使用有限，并且非常强调现在。

期刊介绍： National Identities explores the formation and expression of national identity from antiquity to the present day. It examines the role in forging identity of cultural (language, architecture, music, gender, religion, the media, sport, encounters with "the other" etc.) and political (state forms, wars, boundaries) factors, by examining how these have been shaped and changed over time. The historical significance of "nation"in political and cultural terms is considered in relationship to other important and in some cases countervailing forms of identity such as religion, region, tribe or class. The focus is on identity, rather than on contingent political forms that may express it. The journal is not prescriptive or proscriptive in its approach.
