Such a strategy helped the party gain representation in the House of Commons from the 1970s and was still regarded as an asset in the run-up to the 2014 referendum on independence. However, in the following months, the SNP had to admit that an independent Scotland could no longer rely on declining oil and gas revenues to balance its books and would have to turn to renewables. This U-turn has reinforced the international outlook of the party’s nationalism—both for resource management and for cooperation with other countries.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135942891","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":"The Scottish Independence Movement: National or Nationalist?","authors":"Nathalie Duclos","doi":"10.4000/lisa.15538","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/lisa.15538","url":null,"abstract":"Focusing on the case of the Scottish independence movement, this article aims to reflect on whether support for independence necessarily equates to nationalism. The reflection hinges on two premises: first, independence does not hold the same importance for all pro-independence actors, and second, many of them have chosen to put a rejection of nationalism at the heart of their case for independence. The article argues in favour of dividing pro-independence actors into two groups: nationalists for whom the pursuit of self-government is not only a means to other ends, but also an end goal to be achieved on the basis of nationalist principles; and non-nationalists for whom independence is only ever presented as a means to other, greater ends. The article suggests that rather than a nationalist movement, the Scottish independence movement is perhaps best described as a “national” movement, i.e. a Scottish-wide coalition of actors united in their support for independence, but divided over the place they give to independence in their order of priorities, the arguments used to defend it, as well as their perception of nationalism as a belief-system.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135823136","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":"Replicas, Revivals and Restorations: a Scottish Political Miscellany","authors":"Aonghus MacKechnie","doi":"10.4000/lisa.15349","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/lisa.15349","url":null,"abstract":"Architectural revivalism is generally associated with both the revival of classical models as a common inheritance and, afterwards, with Romanticism and its accompanying national movements such as the Gothic Revival. Scottish architectural revivalism is usually characterised by the 19th-early 20th centuries (neo-castellated) Scotch Baronial style which replicated specific architectural features of historic buildings. This article broadens that scope of analysis by considering revivalism and the choice use of replicates within Scotland across the centuries. Replicates existed c.700CE on Iona island, while revivalism was deployed repeatedly: Iona’s “Celtic” High Crosses were reproduced (in variant form) in the 14th-15th centuries within Gaeldom, and once again during the 19th-20th centuries Celtic Revival. By referencing bygone periods of strength and influence, revivalists adumbrated a political message of greatness, embracing cultural and national identities. In Scotland, stateless from the 18th century, revivalists also expressed conflicted or dual identities. Additionally, when Scotland’s historical resources were considered unsuitable, other models were imported. The European Counter-Reformation church of the Gesù was used a model for James VII & II’s Canongate Kirk (1688); whereas the Tudor Gothic style was imported from England during the Napoleonic period of high British nationalism, evoking and celebrating a British past that never existed.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135942890","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}

During the Wars of Independence, opposition to England had become a central component in the development of the Scottish national imagination. This attitude was reinforced during the Hundred Years War, when the international context favoured an alliance with France and the direct intervention of the Scots on the continent. The proverbial hostility to the English neighbour was an element of distinction which had undeniable advantages on an ideological level, but which also carried risks. This development provides a new perspective on the opportunities offered by the antagonism with England to define Scottish identity and reinforce its conspicuousness on the European stage, while also exploring the limits and negative aspects it conveyed according to continental authors.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135942713","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}

Few studies, however, have offered an overview of the treatment of the Highlander soldier in parliamentary debates since the eighteenth century. This article draws on Cobbett’s Parliamentary History of England, official transcripts of parliamentary debates provided by British History Online and Hansard, as well as on press articles, in order to demonstrate that the Highlander soldier, whose uniform is instantly recognisable, was seen either as a threat to, or as a symbol of, British power and that he fitted in wider discussions on defence and Scottish identity.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"77 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135942714","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}

Chief among these were their status in Scotland’s local government system, their inclusion within schemes for Scottish devolution and the subsequent emergence of organisations campaigning for greater autonomy. The discovery of North Sea oil and resultant transformation of the islands’ social and economic fabric added fuel to these debates, contributing to the development of strengthened Shetland and Orcadian political identities. Orkney and Shetland are often portrayed as retaining a strong Norse identification at the expense of a Scottish identity. Similarly, the actions of the islands’ political leaders in this period have been characterised as the product of “anti-Scottish” sentiment. While such outlooks existed, this article adopts a more nuanced examination which accounts for Orkney and Shetland’s multi-layered identities. Rather than simply a rejection of Scottish identity and associations, these political developments should also be understood as responses to a widespread sense of vulnerability amid perceived threats towards the islands’ own local identities in a period of rapid economic, social and political change.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135943030","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}
