Beschreibung
This book examines the part played by Scottish newspapers in constructing identity during the key period of the devolution process from 1997–2011. It uses insights from cultural and media studies, sociology, cognitive science and narratology into the ways in which culturally defined knowledge and notions of identity have been constructed.
Scotland’s efforts to establish and assert its distinct national identity have a long tradition. National identity has been a central theme throughout the centuries in a country where economic, political, and social issues have tended to be closely bound up with questions of national mentality and emotion. This book examines the part played by Scottish newspapers in constructing identity during a key period of the devolution process, 1997–2011. It uses insights from the fields of cultural and media studies, sociology, cognitive science and narratology into the ways in which culturally defined knowledge and the notions of identity emerging from it have been constructed. The study contributes to the understanding of Scottish identity, and its evaluations are relevant beyond the immediate context of Scotland and the United Kingdom.
