“…Hallin and Mancini 1984: 839). These observations are, in fact, in line with one of the criticisms occasionally levelled at Anderson's theory -namely that it is based on a tacit assumption that the imagined community fostered by the newspaper will necessarily be a national one (see Breuilly 1985;Schlesinger 1991: 156;Rosie et al 2004). …”

AND KEYWORDSAbstract: By and large, contemporary news stories are stories about a particular nation, told to an audience that is seen and addressed in national terms. However, the understanding of the exact ways in which national imagination becomes engrained in the narrative conventions of news reporting is still rather limited, in particular when it comes to audiovisual genres. This article aims to fill a part of this blank by examining the links between national imagination and the narrative conventions of television news. Building on existing debates about different modes of news reporting, the article distinguishes two distinct sets of narrative conventions at work in television news: one typically found in routine reporting, the other characteristic of crisis and celebratory reporting. It is argued that each of these two sets of conventions is tied to a different form of nationalism, and normally arises in a different political climate.Links between national imagination and narrative conventions vary accordingly. To demonstrate this, the article provides a comparative analysis of narrative structures in selected samples of television news bulletins broadcast in the early 1990s in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The concluding section reflects on the external validity of the chosen case study and surveys supportive evidence from four other relevant cases, drawn from Britain and Israel.

“…I outline a methodology developed to 'test' hypotheses about women's relationships with national projects. Following Breuilly (1996Breuilly ( [1985: 151) I reject the 'method of general argument with brief references to some examples' common in studies of nationalism, which results in over-generalization based on insufficient empirical evidence. Instead, Breuilly (1996Breuilly ( [1985: 151) asserts that [t]o test the arguments properly one would need to develop methods of classification and analysis which would enable one to take a wide range of nationalist cases and test the arguments in some detail against the evidence of these cases.…”

“…Recently, decentralization and devolution resulted in the resurgence of Scottish and Welsh national projects in which women have been very active. 9 The methodological strategy adopted was inspired by Breuilly (1996Breuilly ( [1985). The goal is to derive hypotheses about women's relationships with national phenomena from the theoretical literature and then to 'test' them against an extensive and systematically chosen set of 'cases'.…”

Bringing nations in: Some methodological and conceptual issues in connecting feminisms with nationhood and nationalisms

The recent explosion of case studies about women's involvements in national projects reveals considerable diversity ranging from hostility and alienation, to affiliation or participation. Feminist analysis is just starting to explore the causes and effects of such diversity, however, since a single, common relationship usually was theorized between 'gender' and 'nation'. This article addresses some methodological and conceptual issues concerning the systematic comparison of these diverse relationships. It is argued that comparison is required to explain 'linkages between ideologies, religions and conflicts' from a gendered perspective and to incorporate the wide variety of women's experiences regarding national projects.Especially significant in this diversity is that, while national projects in 'the West' are rarely a site for women's liberation and most 'western' feminists are alienated from nationalism, globally women are more often mobilized by national projects than any other form of politics (Bystydzienski 1992). Moreover, some women's movements affiliate with national projects with positive outcomes. To understand how women's diverse involvements in national projects affect domestic and international conflicts, we need to identify factors producing this diversity in gender/ nation relationships. The article reports on a 'test' of six hypotheses concerning three modal cases drawn from a larger project eventually concerning thirty countries.---affiliated and unaffiliated feminisms, contextual methodology, gender justice, systematic comparison, women and nation/alism

Örneğin, John Breuilly (1993Breuilly ( , 1996Breuilly ( , 2005, Ernest Gellner'in klasik modernizmini devlet ve güç odaklı bir analizle yeniden ele alır. Bu açıdan; milliyetçilik, ilk önce, millet ve devlet arasında kurulan ve modern zamanlara özgü olan ilişkinin işlevsel dayanağı ve faili olarak değerlendirilir.…”

Etnisite ve milliyetçilik, genellikle, özgülcülük ve adcılığın içiçe geçtiği iki aidiyet meselesi olarak değerlendirilir. Milliyetçilik ve etnisite ilişkisi, aynı zamanda, kimliğin evrenselliği ile temele dayalı işleyişine dair eleştirel bir yorum çerçevesi olarak da görülür. Klasik etnisite ve milliyetçilik okumaları, yurttaşlığa dayalı siyasal aidiyetin evrensel vasfını temellendirmeye girişirken, etnisite ve milliyetçilik ilişkisini özcü bir aidiyet modeli üzerinden tarif ederler. Bu çalışma, neredeyse her daim Janus yüzlü Kartezyen ikileştirme mantığına konu edilen milliyetçilik ve etnisite ilişkisinin eleştirel bir değerlendirmesini sunmaktadır. Çalışma, ilk önce, etnisite ve milliyetçilik ilişkisinin aidiyet çerçevesini değerlendirmektedir. İkinci olarak, çalışma, siyaset teorisindeki güncel tartışmalardan hareketle, etnisite ve milliyetçilik ilişkisinin dönüşen bağlamı üzerinde durmaktadır.Anahtar Sözcükler: Milliyetçilik, etnisite, evrensellik, özgüllük, aidiyet Ethnicity and Nationalism: A Critical Interpretation AbstractEthnicity and nationalism have generally been interpreted as translucent questions of belonging through which particularism and nominalism are fused. The relation between nationalism and ethnicity has also been regarded as a critical continuum of interpretation regarding the universality of identity and its foundational dispositions. While aiming at providing a foundation for the universal character of civic political belonging, classical studies define the relation between ethnicity and nationalism by referencing to an essentialist modality of belonging. This essay introduces a critical reading of the relation between ethnicity and nationalism, which has almost always been subjected to a Cartesian logic of Janus-faced dualisms. This study, first, interprets the context of belonging as regard to the relation between ethnicity and nationalism. Second, by going through contemporary debates in political theory, the essay focuses on the transforming context of the relation between ethnicity and nationalism.
