Description
Summary:A critical essay on the concept of "national identity" in recent literature divided into two parts: 1) debates on "cultural identity", "audiovisual space", "media imperialism" and the television audience and 2) a review of sociological arguments on the creation of the collective identity. After a discussion focusing on ideas from the EC and UNESCO and an assessment of the conceptual advantages and disadvantages of different theories on nationalism, the article concludes with a call for explicit theorization baised on an "actionist" approach emphasizing the roles of time and space and the critical use of the concepts of national "identity" and "culture".
