    The films "Brigadoon" and "Braveheart" have an enormous resonance both for Scots throughout the world and the wide audience of non-Scots for whom such films provide general impressions of "Scottishness". This provocative book discusses the films' representations of Scotland and the Scots, looking at that cluster of images and stories whereby Scotland is (mis)recognized and yet often comes to be "known". Colin McArthur explores "Brigadoon" and documents the contempt the film has elicited, particularly from the Scots intelligentsia. He succumbs t

  • National identity, nationalism and constitutional change
    Drawing upon unparalleled research by sociologists, political scientists, social psychologists and anthropologists this book focuses on one of the most discussed issues of our day: national identity. It examines how people in England and Scotland 'do' national identity in different situations. It asks: has devolution had much impact on how they see themselves in national terms and how does identity relate to issues of political nationalism? Do these changes challenge the British state by undermining what it means to be British? National identity is not simply a matter for individual constructi
    9 Conclusion: The Politics of IdentityIndex
    What does it mean to say you're English, Scottish, British? Does it matter much to people? Has devolution and constitutional change made a difference to national identity? Does the future of the UK depend on whether or not people think they are British? Social and political scientists answer these questions vital to the future of the British state

    The new Scottish cinema
    Metamorphosis: Scottish cinema, 1990-95 -- 'It's been great working with you': Scottish cinema, 1995-2001 -- DOGMAC: 2000s Scottish-Scandinavian cinema -- Travelling Scots: images of race and ethnicity in 2000s Scottish cinema -- Nazis, Neds, and Netherworlds: Scottish low-budget genre cinema of the 2000s.
    Traces Scottish film culture's industrial, creative and critical evolution in comprehensive detail across a forty-year period. On the one hand, it invites readers to reconsider the known - films such as Shallow Grave, Ratcatcher, The Magdalene Sisters, Young Adam, Red Road and The Last King of Scotland. On the other, it uncovers the overlooked, from the 1980s comedic film makers who followed in the footsteps of Bill Forsyth to the variety of present-day Scottish film making - a body of work that encompasses explorations of multiculturalism, exploitation of the macabre and much else in between.--Provided by publisher

    Independence has been a contested issue in Scotland since the region was first invaded by England in 1707, and the realm continues to linger between regional status and full sovereignty. The issue of independence has risen to the forefront of Scottish discussion in the past fifty years, and Murray Pittock offers here an examination of modern Scottish nationalism and what it means for the United Kingdom. Pittock charts Scotland's economic, cultural, and social histories, focusing on the history and cultural impact of Scottish cities and industries, the role of multiculturalism in contemporary S
