Shared future – shared values? Taking stock of the peace process in Northern Ireland: teenagers’ perspectives     

Martina McKnight 《Cultural Trends》2017,26(3):216-232

ABSTRACT

Although preceded by years of political and policy developments, the signing of the Good Friday Agreement (or Belfast Agreement) in 1998 is generally regarded as marking the end of conflict and the beginning of the transition to peace. However, this transition has been neither linear nor straightforward. Divisions, both physical and symbolic, reflecting collective identities and ‘otherness’, remain resistant to change and continue to foster sectarianism, mistrust and outbreaks of violence. Despite some positive change, not least of which is the absence of sustained violence, the majority of neighbourhoods and schools remain either Protestant or Catholic. Drawing on data from the Young Life and Times (YLT) survey, an annual attitudinal survey of 16-year-olds in Northern Ireland that has been running since 2003, this article explores what young people's perspectives reveal about the complexities and the challenges involved in transitioning to a more shared society. Where relevant and possible, their attitudes are compared with those expressed by adults in the annual Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT) survey. A primary focus on tracking teenagers' attitudes is important for a number of reasons. While often regarded as a ‘post-conflict’ generation, segregation and polarisation remain features of teenagers' everyday lives and the political landscape. Children and young people are one of the four key strategic priorities in the latest government strategies to build united communities and achieve change and are embedded in the Programme for Government 2016–2021. If these government commitments are to be realised, the voices of young people must become central rather than peripheral. It is important, therefore, that their opinions are not only sought, but also interrogated and fed into policy.  相似文献

Rajnikant in Japan: Indian “superstardom” and low value markets     

S.V. Srinivas 《Inter-Asia Cultural Studies》2013,14(4):615-634

This paper draws attention to some questions thrown up by the increased circulation of mass-produced cultural commodities sourced from Asia in the relatively new markets of the region. Juxtaposing the short-lived success of the Indian star Rajnikant in Japan in the late 1990s and the unsuccessful attempt to promote Korean films in the Indian theatrical circuits a decade later, the paper argues that in spite of their considerable differences both instances foreground the difficulties cultural industries of Asia have in generating revenues in the region's markets. The paper goes on to elaborate on a model of stardom, exemplified by Rajnikant, which has evolved as a direct response to the challenges posed by low value markets.  相似文献

潜伏的威胁：大部营运过程中的文化冲突     

张朝华 《未来与发展》2010,(10):52-55

部门文化是部门在长期的行政实践中积淀、凝聚起来而形成的,它与行政部门的行政目标与管理模式融为一体。在部门文化的长期磨合下,部门内部各机构会处于相对平衡、协调状态。大部制改革,将几个相近职能的部门整合成一个大的新部门,这样必然打破这种平衡,使新部门进入一种新的不稳定状态。能否做到文化有效整合,关系到大部制改革的成败和改革后部门的可持续发展。  相似文献
