“…The fact that sport has been widely used as a vehicle for national identity politics has inspired scholars to assume that international sport plays a key role in reinforcing feelings of national identity and national pride (Washington & Karen, 2001). Scholars have particularly focused on effects associated with the hosting of large-scale sports events.…”

It is commonly assumed that international sport reinforces feelings of national pride and national identity. Using large-scale survey data from Germany, covering the period between 1992 and 2008, some unresolved key questions surrounding sportive nationalism are addressed. We examine the relative importance of sport as a source of national pride, analyze the sociodemographics of sportive nationalism, and describe its long-term development in East and West Germany after reunification. Results reveal that sport is an increasingly important source of pride in Germany. Sportive nationalism is more common among younger generations, males, and individuals with lower socioeconomic status. Prevailing differences between East and West Germany document persistent socialization effects of former sport-centered identity politics. Among East Germans, sport is more important for general national pride, and sportive nationalism is much more equally distributed between various social groups (with regard to age, gender, education). From 1992 to 2008, however, a trend toward convergence between East and West Germans is also demonstrated.

“…Museum visiting is a leisure-time activity, but within those self-directed hours, individuals engage in practices that are multi-modal cultural expressions, bearing complex significance for the practitioners, and which derive from, and interact, with a range of specific social relationships (Chick 1998;Shinew, Floyd, and Parry 2004;Washington and Karen 2001). Even the terms 'leisure' and 'spare time' suggest what is 'necessary' in one's life and what is not, as well as the extent of options in a society stratified according to gender, ancestry, 'race', cognitive development, and socio-economic status.…”

Cultural inclusion, exclusion and the formative roles of museums

Museum Management and Curatorship

Very diverse cultural practices develop within sufficiently large polities, in response to, and contributing to, a matrix of social relationships. Museums play a formative role in defining and reproducing those relationships through their policies and narrative practices. As importantly, how museums are construed, who uses them, and how they use them, are also defined within this web of relationships. Discussions of audience inclusion and exclusion should thus be grounded in an analysis of the complex sociocultural roles that museums play, and specifically in regard to the user's search for shared narrative.

“…In addition, these results support previous findings that brawn and brain frames are dichotomous and comparative, especially given the significance of White brain frames being the result of the overwhelming presence of Black brawn frames. On a larger societal level, several scholars (Edwards, 1983(Edwards, , 2001Moore, 1992;Wonsek, 1992) suggest that the cultural relevance of sports in combination with the presence and pervasiveness of these frames may have a profound influence on audience members and society's perceptions (Mercurio & Filak, 2010;Washington & Karen, 2001). With social and cultural implications at stake it is important to continue to strive to understand the use and effects of brawn and brain frames.…”
