Nation and Commemoration
Author: Lyn Spillman
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521574327
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 270
Book Description
What do people think when they imagine themselves as part of a nation? Nation and Commemoration answers this question in an exploration of the creation and recreation of national identities through commemorative activities. Extending recent work in cultural sociology and history, Lyn Spillman compares centennial and bicentennial celebrations in the United States and Australia to show how national identities can emerge from processes of 'cultural production'. She systematically analyses the symbols and meanings of national identity in these two 'new nations', identifying changes and continuities, similarities and differences in how visions of history, place in the world, politics, land, and diversity have been used to express nationhood. The result is a deeper understanding, not only of American and Australian national identities, but also of the global process of nation-formation.

Adventure Seekers
Author: Lost Century of Sports Collection
Publisher: The Lost Century of Sports Collection
ISBN: 1964197449
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 281
Book Description
The adrenaline rush felt by the women in this volume of the Sports She Wrote series challenges the notion of Victorian-era women as placid demure damsels. These daring women adventurers' exploits, featured in 46 articles (116,000 words) written from 1871 to 1900, with 75 illustrations, include exhilarating hot-air balloon flights, courageous circus performers, underwater explorations, and death-defying dashes down icy rapids. Eleven articles showcase harrowing feats of audacious and sometimes foolhardy bravery by women who defy norms and push the boundaries of common sense, standing on the ledge of a tall building, swinging from a ringing bell tower, riding a forty-mile plume and ignoring the conventions of being a homemaker in the American West. Fourteen narratives recount the Alaskan Klondike Gold Rush, with vivid tales of survival amid frightening starvation and harsh freezing conditions that will chill you to the bone. Renowned travel writer Elizabeth Taylor's ten in-depth articles detail her expeditions into the Arctic Circle and the cultures she encountered as a lone woman explorer into previously uncharted territories. Three additional articles unveil traditional sports from Italy, Asia and Samoa, offering global perspectives on the wide world of sport. Sports She Wrote is a 31-volume time-capsule of primary documents written by more than 500 women in the 19th century.
