“Roy's Turkish Delight”: Football,Nationalism and the Representation of Turkey in the British Sports Media     

Nilufer Turksoy 《Journalism Practice》2020,14(4):499-514

ABSTRACT

A large body of literature in representational studies reflects a deep professional concern over the negative effect of the role of the media in representing significant Others. Western media's coverage of an international event, in this case, a football competition, raises some ethical questions about the choice of specific lexical items and textual contents. Drawing on the work of Stuart Hall's representation theory, this article examines how Turkey, a nation located on the semi-periphery of Europe, is represented in Western media outlets. By looking at the role that sections of the British sports press plays in their construction of the Turkish national identity, I evaluate the Euro 2016 and Euro 2004 reporting of the UEFA European Championship qualifying matches between Turkey and England. I apply a combination of lexical and narrative analysis, and I question the way that Turkey is represented in the British sport texts. The style and language used in the presentation of football games reveals that British media outlets are prone to present England's politically and economically powerful position, and its cultural superiority over Turkey. Findings also suggest that the discourse of the “West and the Rest” is alive in the modern world.  相似文献

风土建筑挑战和身份认知方式:英国乡村保护的价值认知与保护制度初探     

潘玥 《中国名城》2020,(4):34-44

在乡村振兴的目标下,建成遗产该如何保护和存续在许多国家均是难题。通过追溯英国处置乡村中的风土建筑这一建成遗产的重要组构部分的整体特点,对其价值认知、保护历程及规划体系的形成,进一步结合科兹沃尔德乡村保护案例的规划政策分析,从三个方面分析了英国风土建筑保护的策源力。即包括贵族乡绅在内的精英阶层对乡村自然景观营造和保护旨趣一直有其社会传统性;赞美自然和乡村生活的浪漫主义者进一步通过包含风土建筑在内的英国风景建构为英格兰的民族身份认知物;英国作为工业革命的产生地,较早开始对工业文明的进程带来的后果进行反思,保护乡村的建成遗产及其整体环境作为善性立法和公共利益优先的原则的体现,并较早地通过制度建立被纳入正当化、合法性的保护框架中。最后指出英国社会普遍达成的有关风土建筑及其文化地景整体性保护的共识与规划制度的配合是英国乡村大范围的建成遗产能够被成功保护的关键所在。  相似文献   

关于足球运动起源之新论   总被引：4，自引：0，他引：4  

龚智敏 《体育与科学》2007,28(1):19-21

足球运动的起源一直有两大基本说法:古代的足球(足球游戏)起源于中国;现代足球运动则起源于英国。国际足联2004年正式确定:足球起源于中国,中国古代的蹴鞠就是世界上最早的足球运动。本文从足球运动两大诞生地中国与英国,在关于足球起源的诸条件、要素异同性方面的综合比较分析与研究,试图对“足球运动起源于中国”这一定论提供理论依据。  相似文献   

Education,health and care plans and tribunals in England: A statistical tale from 2019     

Alan J. Marsh  Kathryn Howatson 《British Educational Research Journal》2020,46(3):574-592

Education, health and care (EHC) plans were introduced in England in 2014, as a replacement for statements of special educational needs. Unexpectedly, the number of children and young people in receipt of an EHC plan rose by 49% during the 5 years up to 2019. Whilst most of the increase has been due to the extension of the age range up to age 25, there has still been a notable rise of 20% in the 0–15-year range. This study explores the trends and variations in EHC plans and tribunals within English local authorities (LAs) for children and young people with special educational needs and disability (SEND) by interrogating the latest full set of data from 2013 to 2018. Two quintile groups (n = 30) are used for comparing LAs with high and low levels of EHC plans and LA case studies are also presented for further inspection of the data. Wide variations across LAs still exist for EHC plans (5.2% to 1.0%) and tribunal appeals (43 to 0 per 10,000). LAs with low EHC plans have more appealable decisions at tribunals and are financed at significantly lower levels than LAs with high EHC plans, largely due to an historic spend factor of 50% in the national funding formula. There are also clear differences between the English regions for both EHC plans and tribunals, with high increases for both in the South East. The implications of the findings are discussed within the framework of LA critical self-reviews, benchmarking, fiscal constraints and inclusion.  相似文献   

论近代转型时期英国突发性事件的特征     

陈凯鹏 《商丘师范学院学报》2013,(5):49-54

突发性事件因其所特有的危害性、紧迫性和不确定性而为学界关注,它多集中出现于社会转型期。16-18世纪的英国社会,正处于新旧社会的转折时期,社会、经济及思想观念剧烈变革,各种矛盾问题日渐突出。在缺乏必要利益沟通机制的情况下,突发性事件频发。尽管参与者的动机和目的复杂多样,但事件中人员伤亡较少,具有明显的集体行动的特征。突发性事件的出现,虽然具有一定破坏性,但从长远来说它推动了英国的国家制度建设。  相似文献   

Self-esteem and academic achievement: a comparative study of adolescent students in England and the United States     

Margaret Zoller Booth  Jean M. Gerard 《Compare》2011,41(5):629-648

Utilizing mixed methodology, this paper investigates the relationship between self-esteem and academic achievement for young adolescents within two Western cultural contexts: the United States and England. Quantitative and qualitative data from 86 North American and 86 British adolescents were utilized to examine the links between self-esteem and academic achievement from the beginning to the end of their academic year during their 11th–12th year of age. For both samples, quantitative results demonstrated that fall self-esteem was related to multiple indicators of later year academic achievement. While country differences emerge by the end of the year, math appears to have a consistent relationship with self-esteem in both country contexts. Qualitative analyses found some support for British students’ self-perceptions as more accurately reflecting their academic experience than the students from the United States.  相似文献

英、法教师专业化历程的解读及其启示     

卢乃桂  叶菊艳 《比较教育研究》2010,32(2)

教师专业化的过程是一个在特定社会、文化和历史脉络中社会建构的过程。英国资产阶级的需要推动了教学职业的专业化,也为教师自治组织的发展提供了空间;法国的教师专业化过程则是教育体制纳入国家科层的过程,国家控制了教师的培训机构、内容以及教师组织。这两种不同的社会现实的构建是两国不同脉络下不同利益群体之间互动的产物。文章认为追求教师专业化应充分考虑本国已有的社会脉络和教育文化传统,也应注重教师和其他利益相关者之间的沟通,倾听不同的声音。  相似文献
