ABSTRACT Wedged between Spain and France, the stateless nation of the Basques has a keen sense of national identity. The construction and maintenance of national identities has taken place in both the social and political terrains. At the heart of these constructions lies a deep sense of origins and difference. Basque sport, particularly football, is yet another terrain to situate Basque national identity in alterity. The first division Athletic Bilbao has earned its reputation due to a recruitment strategy they call la filosofía: since the early twentieth century, they have fielded Basque players only. Through constant discussions and decisions about whether a player is ‘Basque’ or ‘Basque enough,’ and what that means, football has greatly contributed to the construction of a national imagery that has revolved around place, political ideology, race and ethnicity, and transnational culture.

ABSTRACT By drawing on the concept of performatively created third space, we examine how spatially mobile Muslim women in Broken Verses negotiate and challenge heterosexual identity in Pakistan. We argue that the women expand the meanings of national identity through practical hybridity and alternating between feminist reinterpretations of the Quran, cultural norms and universalist individualist consciousness – constructing a third space subjectivity. We foreground third space epistemology to read the gender and sexual subjectivity of mobile Muslim women situated in the heteronationalist setting which is influenced by the emergence of conservative religiosity and increased social and spatial mobility.

ABSTRACT This article critically reflects upon the symbolic role of sport in relation to nationalism and national identity within contemporary Scottish society. Drawing upon an ethnosymbolist theoretical approach, the article discusses: (a) the mythology associated with Scottish ‘national sports’; (b) the existence of independent Scottish teams; and (c) the evocation of ancient Scottish history and warfare within the symbolism of Scottish sport. It underlines the import of sporting issues to ongoing theoretical debates regarding nationalism and national identity in contemporary Scottish society, concluding that ethnosymbolism remains an effective theoretical explanation of the nature of contemporary Scottish nationalism.

ABSTRACT Rugby represents an intersection of gendered ethno-nationalism and anti-imperialist modern nationalism in Fiji. It wields immense symbolic power as an epitome of hegemonic indigenous masculinity and cultural ethos and a medium of resistance against postcolonial marginality. Against this backdrop, predominantly non-heteronormative indigenous women have actively pursued the game, despite limited institutional support and widespread heteropatriarchal sanctions. In 2021, they won bronze at the Tokyo Summer Olympics, Fiji’s third Olympic medal, which was received with nationwide celebrations. This article examines a dramatic shift in their social standing and what it signifies for the hegemonic configuration of gendered rugby nationalism in Fiji.

in Peru, only to suffer a second expulsion, impact a sense of identity? To what do we attach our sense of belonging – nation, culture, shared intellectual and political ideology, family? Is identity not plural and is culture not hybrid? How do we express this identity? How do we maintain a connection with others in the diaspora? Which language do we use? What names do we choose for ourselves and for our children? (378) ‘Names, like passports, often contain a trace of fear’. Reading this book is more like listening to a storyteller who introduces members of their family to you, breaks off from time to time to fill the reader in on relevant background, muses on how they must have felt, and discusses the significance of what they are describing all without breaking flow. It is at the same time absorbing and thought provoking. The images it creates and the issues it raises stay in the mind long after the story is told.

ABSTRACT For those who study war memorialisation, there are concerns that perspectives from the West appear predominantly in the literature. Initially, memorials were constructed for glorifying the sacrifices of the war dead followed by architectural designs that emerged to counter the memories of the Holocaust. Interpretations from India offer a differential analysis. The styles of memorials from the pre-independent era served to impose colonial memories. This began to change after independence culminating into structures that reaffirmed respect for freedom and security. Critically, a comparative analysis highlights the intricate relations between memorial styles and social sentiments that are unique to societies.

ABSTRACT The 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil conveyed – by its slogan, mascot, posters and ceremonies – the idea of a Mulatto Brazil (an inventive and festive nation under the sign of two idiosyncratic worlds). We argue that such a reference – based on the duality between Dionysius and Apollo (as contemplated by Nietzsche and brought to the context of Brazil and football by Freyre) – was used as a means of bringing forward an idea of the exceptionality of Brazilian society (based on nationalist concepts of ethnicity) to attract tourists, ease social tensions and justify the event’s costs.

ABSTRACT Social cohesion, associated with lower levels of psychological distress, is a predictor of recovery in emergency situations that may be enhanced by social identities such as national identity. We examined changes in opinions regarding closeness to the nation, patriotism, nationalism, immigration, and opinions about the European Union by administering the National Identity Questionnaire to younger Italian adults living in Central Italy six months before and two months after the initial Covid-19 lockdown to discriminate specific aspects of National identity that may aid adaptation to stressors. Results showed that patriotism increased compared to nationalism while feelings toward European Union membership decreased.
