It draws on cultural studies analyses of food and TV as sources of nation building, Appadurai’s account of the construction of a national cuisine and Belasco’s insight into the way national food cultures are created for political reasons. The article textually, visually and symbolically analyses accounts of the Scottish haggis constructed by celebrity chefs such as Jamie Oliver, the Hairy Bikers and Gordon Ramsay, and by videos on the web.The results show that the haggis is represented in two ways: on the one hand, it contributes to constructing Scotland as an ancestral nation based on tough nature; on the other hand, the dish is depicted as a tool for measuring the degree of Scottishness of people or as a passport which allows people coming from other countries to feel more Scottish.","PeriodicalId":152891,"journal":{"name":"Études écossaises","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127350334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Le Glasgow City Centre Mural Trail : entre affirmation identitaire et « kitschification » culturelle","authors":"Emerence Hild","doi":"10.4000/ETUDESECOSSAISES.3716","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/ETUDESECOSSAISES.3716","url":null,"abstract":"Cet article propose une etude de cas du Glasgow City Centre Mural Trail, une initiative de la municipalite de Glasgow lancee en 2014 qui vise a financer des fresques murales a des fins de rehabilitation urbaine et de promotion touristique. A travers l’analyse des œuvres et des documents produits autour du projet, il s’agit d’examiner le choix du street art comme modalite d’intervention dans l’espace urbain et comme vecteur d’une identite locale resolument urbaine portee par une imagerie distincte des representations populaires de l’Ecosse. Dans un second temps, en s’appuyant notamment sur les travaux de Christophe Genin sur les rapports entre kitsch et art urbain, cette etude explore les implications de l’intermediation des pouvoirs publiques sur l’activite artistique. Le processus de patrimonialisation par lequel le Mural Trail s’integre dans l’espace urbain souleve ainsi la question des attributs du street art lui‑meme et de l’identite glaswegian devenue objet de representation et de reproduction. Il s’agit finalement de demontrer qu’en tant que decor urbain et produit d’attraction touristique le projet s’approprie en realite certains criteres du « kitsch » qu’il parait au premier abord contester.","PeriodicalId":152891,"journal":{"name":"Études écossaises","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115606005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
