  • Exploring attitudes to Nato in Republika Srpska

    Ron Roberts, Majda Halilović et al.ARTICLEGlobal Discourse2015Referencias: 4

    The role of NATO in the maintenance of regional security was assessed from a random sample of 1000 residents in the Serbian entity Republika Srpska (RS) – part of Bosnia and Herzegovina – in the fall of 2011. Attitudes to NATO were largely divided along ethnic lines. Evidence of positive attitudes towards NATO was mostly found among (i) non-Serbs (71%) compared with Serbs (18%), (ii) women and (iii) respondents over 65 years. Specific features un…

  • Memory, ‘madness’ and conflict

    Open AccessRon Roberts, Christopher J HewerARTICLEMemory Studies2014Referencias: 3

    R.D. Laing’s investigations into family relationships tell us much about memory as a source of psychological distress. Laing concluded that patterns of thinking and behaviour established in the family over generations are re-enacted whether we are aware of it or not. Using Laing’s studies of the family as a framework, we argue that the expression of emotion, identity, thought, belief and behaviour in social settings is subject to the formative na…

  • The Falkland/Malvinas dispute

    Christopher J HewerARTICLEGlobal Discourse2013Referencias: 4

    In a state of culturally induced amnesia for empire in the post-war period, British public or lay collective memory of the Falkland Islands arguably began in April 1982 when Argentine forces landed on the islands. Since then, a memory of the islands has emerged from the conflict that is in contrast to the detailed and very complex history of the territory and the catalogue of associated legal interventions, UN resolutions and bi (tri)-partite neg…

  • Identity after Kosovo's independence

    Christopher J Hewer, Shpresa VitijaARTICLESocial Identities2013Citada por: 1Referencias: 21

    The nature of national identity after the establishment of Kosovo as an independent state was explored within a small group of Kosovar Albanians living in the UK. Although Kosovan identity was expressed at times in hybrid form, e.g. British Kosovan, identity at a deeper structural level was founded upon historical origins and culture inexorably linked to Albania and people of Illyrian descent and their territories. This was particularly the case …

  • History, culture and cognition

    Open AccessChristopher J Hewer, Ron RobertsARTICLECulture & Psychology2012

    The term social memory refers to the dynamic interplay between history, culture and cognition. At the level of the individual, three sources of knowledge: history, collective memory and individual experience combine to create a subjective view of historical reality, a common sense narrative that is often expressed with identity objectives and within an autobiographical context. This model of social memory, which is informed by social representati…

  • Historical legacy, social memory and representations of the past within a Polish community

    Open AccessChristopher J Hewer, Malgorzata KutARTICLEMemory Studies2010Citada por: 3Referencias: 4

    Shared representations of national history play a significant role in the construction of social memory and the development of a common cultural worldview. Representations of 20th-century history studied within a small Polish community in the UK with respect to their content, meaning and effect on identity produced themes of injustice, abandonment, betrayal by the West, trauma and victimization, which continue to evoke strong emotions. The simpli…
