“…McGuigan (1992) believes that the formation of national identity was, along with industrialisation and democratisation, ' a third constitutive feature of modernity ' (p. 10). Although the postmodern argument may be to reject modernist constructs such as national identity, Bechhofer et al .…”

It has long been established that marketing theories can have wide application in practice. Marketing is no longer to be seen and practised solely in the domain of business fi rms. The broadened context of marketing sees its application in politics, education, public services, planned social change, religion, and in the marketing of nations where the marketing of place is now widespread both in practice and in academia. The concept of branding is now commonly applied to place marketing, and yet this concept does not have universal acceptance. The issues are further complicated as studies into a place ' s brand identity are closely linked to studies of national identity, which is itself closely linked to the concept of a nation ' s cultural and political identity. This paper therefore attempts to unravel the complex relationship between nationhood, national and cultural identity, and a place ' s brand identity by means of a literature review that examines these concepts from a wide range of disciplines. The result is an original model that conceptualises the nation brand identity as a whole, identifi es both what affects the nation brand and what is affected by the nation brand, and how the nation brand identity is created and communicated.

“…Having decided early on that the study of creative texts in popular culture was an epistemological dead-end, Cultural Studies in the 1970s and 1980s shifted towards reception: examining how the music was used and appropriated by fans. This orientation produced some important work but it did also, as Frith and others have suggested (McGuigan 1992;Frith 1998), have a negative effect. Studies of reception contained the perhaps unintended implication that while high-cultural production has long been deemed to merit close textual analysis, popular-cultural products are only of interest in terms of consumption, as if it were axiomatic that there would be little point in studying a popular song as an aesthetic artefact.…”

Democratising the popular: the case of pop music in France and Britain

The article represents the second phase of a comparative project on French and British cultural policy. The project's guiding hypothesis is that conceptualisations of the popular have been a crucial driver of policy change in France and Britain, raising complex issues about the nature of cultural democracy. The second phase, including this article, takes pop music as a case study for that hypothesis. The article explores three major issues. It asks how and why, in their attempts to rethink cultural democracy for the twenty-first century, French and British policy agencies have recognised pop music as a 'democratic' form worthy of state support. It critically examines some of the theoretical issues this has raised, comparing and contrasting the ways in which the two national policy sets have variously represented pop as having symbolic, economic and social meanings. And it argues that what has been less adequately addressed is its aesthetic meaning.

“…They defended an 'insurgent' cultural studies against the 'fetishism' of consumerism and populism that seemed to be taking hold. In the UK similar charges were made by Jim McGuigan (1992) and several of the contributors to the highly charged collection Cultural Studies in Question (Ferguson and Golding, 1997), who demanded the reinstatement of political economy.…”

Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication DataThe Palgrave handbook of sociology in Britain / edited by John Holmwood, John Scott. pages cm Summary: "British sociology has been central to the evolution of the field, playing a key role in the establishment of the discipline internationally and in the professionalization of the subject within the academy. This Handbook, drawing together leading specialists from across the subject, provides a comprehensive history of the discipline within Britain and demonstrates the continuing influence of British sociological thinking globally. Addressing key moments in the development of sociology, this Handbook examines its 18th century origins in Scottish thought, 19th century evolutionism, the impact of the end of empire in the 20th century, the role of exiles, the rise of feminism and the implications of the most recent Government policies toward universities. The volume examines the institutionalization of sociology through the creation of departments, the development of research methods, the writing of textbooks and the creation and influence of the book series, the International Library of Sociology. Further, individual chapters discuss key topics of sociological study in Britain such as class, race and ethnicity, religion, the sociology of the body, cultural studies, and criminology, and its relation to other fields of research such as poverty, social work and the humanities. Challenging received ideas about the discipline and recovering lost histories this one-stop overview is an essential reference guide to the growth of sociology and the sociological imagination."-Provided by publisher.
