{"title":"Negotiating the Lebanese national imaginary on and beyond the screen: an intertextual perspective on the film adaptation <i>Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet</i>","authors":"Hisham M.

This article proposes a combined approach to further explore the nation-building potential of films, using as a case study the film adaptation Kahlil Gibran’s The Prophet. Through a close reading of the film in conjunction with its intertextual references and the filmmakers’ media interviews, the article explores the construction and negotiation of Lebanese nationhood and history under Ottoman rule. Special attention is paid to how the film’s production, funding, circulation and reception are related to nation-building.KEYWORDS: Banal nationalismfilmintertextualityKahlil Gibran’s The ProphetLebanese nationalismnation-building Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 The name ‘Rahbani Brothers’ refers to both Assi Rahbani (1923–1986) and Mansour Rahbani (1925–2009) who were Lebanese composers and dramatists, best known for their work with Fairuz, Assi’s wife.2 Maronite nationalism can mean so many things that a single definition is impossible. In pre-1920 Lebanon, Maronite nationalism referred to a political ideology that advocated the autonomy of Mount Lebanon as the homeland of Maronites. Following the creation of Greater Lebanon in 1920, this strand of nationalism came to be described as ‘political Maronitism’, a term used by the Druze leader Walid Jumblatt to describe Maronite elites’ attempts to achieve ‘domination of the Lebanese system’ (Sirriyeh, Citation1998, p. 56).3 After Gibran’s demise in 1931, the copyrights to his artistic and literary production were transferred to his hometown of Bsharri where the Gibran National Committee was established to manage the copyrights. It also runs the Gibran National Museum, which features exhibits of his works and drawings.Additional informationNotes on contributorsHisham M. AliHisham M.

Content analysis of books written about him, his speeches, and newspaper articles reveals how Moi used Nyayo philosophy, national holidays, the Father of the Nation narrative, currency notes and coins, and monuments to foster a Kenyan national identity. Despite efforts to forge a common national identity, the government frequently operated in a way that was at odds with what Moi said in his speeches. Whereas President Moi advocated for peace, love, and unity, his administration was largely characterised by clientelism, patronism, social and regional inequalities, and interethnic violence, among other social, economic and political evils. Because of the disconnect between what Moi claimed and what his administration actually did, his attempts to foster nationhood could alternatively be seen as a way for him to control the state, consolidate power, and legitimize his leadership. Therefore, during Moi’s rule, national identity building lacked a strong collective consciousness, which would have enabled Kenyans to institutionalise a sense of belonging and attachment to the nation.KEYWORDS: Countrycivic identityethnic identitynational identitynation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementAll data used in this work has been referenced accordingly.Additional informationNotes on contributorsFred NasuboDr. Fred Nasubo researches, writes and teaches with a particular interest in identity politics, citizenship, nation branding and governance.

Gazing through a sociohistorical lens, the present study explores how beliefs about legitimate membership criteria relate to self-identified Puerto Ricans’ understanding of their and in-group others’ national identity. By contextualizing current perceptions of national identity as linked to an emergent Puerto Rican nationalism throughout the nineteenth- and twentieth-century, this paper relates individual-level conceptions of membership criteria to institutional and discursive interventions, thereby contributing to studies of national identity in colonially (un)settled times.KEYWORDS: Beliefsculturemembership criterianational identityPuerto Rico Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, J.

However, the fact that all nine participants who identified using this category were residing in the U.S. might suggest an adherence to ‘people of color’ as a way to index ‘non-white’.

In Botswana, xenophobia is rarely violent and manifests in stereotypes the host population has about immigrants. In South Africa, anti-immigrant violence has claimed many lives. However, South Africa's nation-building process has facilitated the co-existence of people from different backgrounds and races under an inclusive national identity. In contrast, Botswana's nation-building process assimilated different ethnic groups under the BatswanaFootnote1 identity, hence fostering an ethno-national identity, which is exclusivist. This study draws N=2,390 and N=1,200 South African and Batswana respondents from Afrobarometer, respectively, and finds that Batswana who identify with national identity are likely to have negative attitudes towards immigrants. Conversely, South Africans identifying with national identity are likely to have positive attitudes toward immigrants. Still, South Africans who endorse ethnic identity are likely to have negative attitudes towards immigrants. This study has larger implications for policies promoting pluralistic national identity.

For 90 min, the players are part of society and their presence resembles the inclusion of Arabs in Israel. However, when the match ends, they are again part of the deprived Arab minority and excluded from Israeli society. The study is based on theoretical academic materials, interviews with six prominent Arab soccer players who played in the national team from 1976 until the present day, and selected press interviews with several other Arab internationals. The research findings show that the players define themselves as Arabs who, first and foremost, represent themselves and their families and communities. They ignore racist calls based on ethnic, national, or religious differences. Ultimately, all of them have a hybrid identity and see soccer as a way of life and an opportunity to promote their career and make their families and communities proud due to being part of the national soccer squad. These findings thus adhere to the theoretical framework of instrumental inclusion that this paper offers.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47630774","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}

Although it is difficult to determine how vital opening ceremonies are in the long term or how much they are ever remembered beyond the media coverage, these ceremonies project national images of the countries that organize them by reinforcing identities. Based on the theoretical assumptions of constructivism, this article contrasts the Beijing 2008 and Tokyo 2020 opening ceremonies, discussing how the creation of these narratives reflects the aspirations to build national identities linked with an idealized past. Also, this article analyses how these events illustrate how China and Japan present their identity in an international scenario. Finally, the conclusions emphasize the importance of opening ceremonies beyond the limited sports context and their profound political implications.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44577646","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}

Since both polities originally brought fulfillment of (single) national goals to their constituencies, any cultural component of supranational identities could be successfully challenged by the narratives on hegemony of supranational center over national constituencies.","PeriodicalId":45917,"journal":{"name":"NATIONAL IDENTITIES","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2023-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48480703","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}
