The subject of his article reflects what Robert Crawford has called ‘a growing wariness of notions of an essentialist Scotland’ (1994, p. 57). The article has been written partly as a contribution to the critique of ‘essentialist’ notions of national identity in gerneral and ‘Scottishness’ in particular. I share the concern of Stuart Hall (1990; 1995) and others (Massey 1991; Rose 1995) to challenge ideas which reproduce notions of the ‘boundedness’ or ‘purity’ of territorial and national identities; whilst recognising that such identities are, by definition, only likely to change slowly (Therborn 1995). My approach to the analysis of national identity is to try to follow the ‘social construction of reality’ thinking which informs much current writing on the relationships between ethnicity, place and identity (Jackson and Penrose 1993). From that point of view, regarding Scottish national cultural identity in the late twentieth century,

Late Twentieth Century

A finales del siglo XX Colombia ha ingresado paulatinamente en los procesos de libre comercialización con otros países, derivados de las dinámicas del mercado a nivel internacional; entre estos se encuentran el de la apertura económica en la década de los noventa y en la actualidad, el Tratado de Libre Comercio (TLC). El TLC, ha sido objeto de una serie de inconformidades planteadas por parte de algunos sectores económicos, como es el caso de los cultivadores de trigo en todo el país y particularmente, quienes habitan en el departamento de Nariño. Tal inconformidad, va más allá del simple desacuerdo por la firma del tratado y radica en las características de su discurso, que se argumentan desde el gobierno nacional. El artículo analiza dichas características discursivas con relación al papel que han desempeñado los cultivadores de trigo. Para ello y a partir de las herramientas teórico-metodológicas ofrecidas por el análisis social del discurso, se busca determinar las cualidades de la “estructura social discursiva” derivada del mencionado proceso. Se encontró que al interior de dicha estructura, los campesinos cultivadores de trigo, irrumpen y develan lo oculto del discurso oficial del tratado, a través de un proceso de resistencia en contra de su implementación y, dando a conocer las consecuencias negativas que el mismo produciría en su contexto social.ABSTRACTSince the late twentieth century, Colombia has been gradually involved in the processes of free trading with other countries on account of the marketing dynamics at an international level. These processes include the economic opening in the decade of 1990, and the Free Trade Agreement (FTA) at present. The FTA has been the subject of a series of unconformities established by some economic sectors, such as the wheat growers throughout the country, particularly, those who inhabit the Department of Nariño. These unconformities go beyond the simple disagreement caused by the signing of the treaty, and lies in the characteristics of the FTA discourses argued by the national government. The present study analyzes the discursive features in relation to the role that wheat growers play; for this reason, and based on the theoretical and methodological foundations offered from the social analysis of the discourse, it intends to determine the characteristics of the “discursive social structure” derived from this process. The data showed that, inside the referred structure, the wheat farmers gained access and unveiled the hidden side of the official discourse of the treaty, through a process of resistance against its implementation, and revealing the negative consequences it would produce in its social context.

RÉSUMÉ. Cette étude propose d’aborder le néologisme du point de vue de l’identité dans un contexte algérien. Il s’agit d’expliquer comment les éléments identitaires et le profil identitaire algériens construisent le profil sémantique d’une lexie, puis élaborent un caractère néologique ou une reconstruction néologique. C’est une recherche réalisée à partir d’un travail de description des éléments identitaires développés dans des séquences discursives variées. Les textes portant des passages sont produits par des journalistes, ils traitent le sujet de l’identité nationale et socioculturelle algériennes dans un épisode sociopolitique marqué par des mutations à savoir le Printemps arabe. L’analyse de ces données consiste à décrire les différentes interprétations, une tâche  qu’impose la sémantique du prototype ainsi que la théorie de représentation. Ce travail réalise que l’emploi d’une nouvelle lexie importée ou construite discursivement s’ouvre à une construction sémantique particulière dans un discours médiatique algérien, son sémantisme affiche, souvent, des potentialités sémantiques s’attachant fortement à l’identité sociale et nationale ainsi qu’aux contextes socioculturel et historique algériens. Enfin, l’étude met en valeur les références socioculturelles identitaires favorables à une construction néologique, et décrit un processus psycho-social actif dans la construction du sens. Mots-clés : identité, néologisme, positionnement historique, répertoire psychosocial, référence identitaire, stéréotype identitaire, stéréo-néologisme.     ABSTRACT. The study proposes to approach neologism from the point of view of identity in an algerian context. It aims to explain how Algerian identity elements and identity patterns build the semantic profile of a lexicon, then elaborate a neologic character or a neological reconstruction. It is a research realized from a work of description of th identity elements developed in varied discursive sequences. The texts bearing passages are produced by journalists, they treat the subject the A lgerian national and socio-cultural identity in a socio-political episode marked by mutations namely the Arab Spring. The analysis of these data consists in describing the different interprétations, a task imposed by the semantics of the prototype as well as the théory of representation. This work realizes that the use of a new lexicon imported or constructed discursival opens to a particular semantic constructio in an Algerian media discourse, its semantism display, often, semantic potentialities strongly attaching to the social and national identity as well as the socio-cultural and historical contexts of A lgeria. Finaly, the study highlights socio-cultural identity references favorable to a neological construction, and describes an active psych-social process in the construction of meaning. Keywords: historical positioning, identity, identity référence, identity stereotype, neologism, psychosocial repertoire, stereo-neologism.

This chapter analyses inns, taverns, and public houses in their social context, exploring their organizational identity and the social positions of their owners/tenants. It examines how patrons express their class, gender, and national identity by participation in different kinds of sociality. Seventeenth- and eighteenth-century hostelries afforded more opportunities for cross-class sociability than in later centuries. Social mixing was facilitated because the venues fulfilled multiple economic, social, and political functions, thereby providing room for social interaction apart from communal drinking and eating. Yet, even in these earlier centuries, each type of hostelry already had a distinctive class character, shaping its organizational identity. Division along lines of class hardened, and social segregation increased in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, up to World War II. In the post-War era, increased democratization of society at large became reflected in easier social mixing in pubs. Despite this democratization, during the late twentieth century the dominant image of pubs as a working-class institution persisted.

The paper presents the results of research that included comparative study of the place and role of female characters in selected and representative comedies by Serbian comedigrapher Branislav Nušić (eng. MP, Suspicious person, Mrs Minister, Bereaved family, Dr, Deceased; srb. Narodni poslanik, Sumnjivo lice, Ožalošćena porodica, Dr, Pokojnik, Vlast) and Bulgarian comedigrapher Stefan Kostov (eng. Gold mine, Golemanov, Grasshoppers, Nameless comedy; blg. Zlamnama mina, Golemanov, Skakalci, Komediâ bez ime) in order to find similarities and differences in the process of comedigraphic shaping of female characters in the work of these two authors. The subject of the research was viewed primarily from a literary-theoretical point of view, and the dominant methods of study were comparative and analytical-synthetic. During the research, there was a differentiation of female characters in accordance with their motivational structures, psychological assemblies and the nature of the place and the role they play in the social environment in which they are located. Therefore, we can distinguish female characters who live in the province and who are fully representative of the small-town spirit, female characters who live in the capital and are a symbol of the modern age and female characters who dwell in the capital, but in fact, deeply down still carry a small-town view of the world. The structure of this paper is in line with this distinction. Conclusions made at the end of the study show that the representation of female characters in analyzed comedies of both comedigaphers is highly similar in its nature.

First Time

Family health centers in Turkey started to be implemented for the first time in Düzce in 2004 years within the scope of Law No. 5258. While determining the physical conditions of the places where family health centers are built, the first item in the regulation is that the building should be easily accessible. This situation shows the importance of the subject in terms of accessibility. While determining the features of the places where FHCs will be made, environmental characteristics are also taken into consideration. Environmental features are effective in determining the FHCs location in different ways. These impacts are divided into two groups: the physical features that pavements, roads and parks can include, and the social, cultural and institutional features of neighborhoods that include local social ties and collective activities. From this point of view, the importance of the location of family health centers relative to roads and houses is understood. The aim of this study is to examine the accessibility of Family Health Centers in Konyaaltı, Antalya, on a neighborhood basis using Geographic Information Systems. Konyaaltı has 21 Family Health Centers. As a result of the analyses, it was determined that most of the neighborhoods had problems in terms of accessibility, while a very few of them did not experience problems in terms of accessibility. In terms of the total number of buildings, the ratio of buildings that are 500 meters walking distance from any family health center by using highways is 35.56%. With these rates, 3,634 of the 10,2018 buildings remain within the limits of the regulation. Finally; suggestions were made to increase accessibility to these areas.

One of the post-modernist approaches to literary criticism is the queer criticism which has not been evaluated properly. Queer criticism can refer to any piece of literary criticism that interprets a text from a non-straight perspective. Therefore, it includes both lesbian and gay criticism. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to trace the social and political reasons behind the emergence of Queer criticism in the late twentieth century till it acquired momentum in the twenty-first century. After trying to define the terms related to the Queer criticism, the paper tries to examine the poetics of queer (gay and lesbian) literary works and to point out the main characteristic features of this critical approach by identifying the criteria and the textual evidence by which a literary work is labeled queer. It, also tries to shed light on the common features between queer criticism and feminism, on the one hand, and queer criticism and the deconstructuralist approach on the other hand. The final section of the study is a critique which points out the negative aspects of this approach.

This article attempts to evince the political, cultural and affective consequences of Jhumpa Lahiri’s diasporic writings and their particular enunciations of the literary gaze. To do so, it details the manner in which the stories’ exercise of visual operations rigidly corresponds with those of the Panopticon. The essay argues that Lahiri’s narrative produces a kind of panoptic machine that underpins the ‘modes of social regulation and control’ that Foucault has explained as disciplinary technologies. By situating Lahiri’s stories, “A Real Durwan” and “Only Goodness,” within a historical-political context, this essay aims at identifying the way in which panopticism defines her fiction as both a record of and a participant in the social, sexual and political ‘paranoia’ behind the propaganda of America’s self-image as the land of freedom. We maintain that Lahiri’s fiction situates itself in complex relation to the postcolonial concerns of the late twentieth century, suggesting that through their fascination with a visual literalization of the panoptic machine, and by privileging the masculine gaze, the stories legitimate the perpetuation of socially prescribed notion of sexual difference.  Keywords: Gaze, Sexual difference, Panopticon, A Real Durwan, Only Goodness

ABSTRACT Helen Samuels sought to document institutions in society by adding to official archives counterweights of private records and archivist-created records such as oral histories. In this way, she recognized and sought to mitigate biases that arise from institution-centric application of archival functionalism. Samuels's thinking emerged from a late-twentieth-century consensus on the social license for archival appraisal, which formed around the work of West German archivist Hans Booms, who wrote, “If there is indeed anything or anyone qualified to lend legitimacy to archival appraisal, it is society itself.” Today, archivists require renewed social license in light of acknowledgment that North American governments and institutions sought to open lands for settlement and for exploitation of natural resources by removing or eliminating Indigenous peoples. Can a society be said to “lend legitimacy” to archival appraisal when it has grossly violated human, civil, and Indigenous rights? Starting from the question of how to create an adequate archives of Canada's Indigenous residential school system, the author locates Samuels's work amid other late-twentieth-century work on appraisal and asks how far her thinking can take us in pursuit of archival decolonization.

The environmental history of war, especially its impacts on landscape, encompasses a much broader scope than the conflicts and the historiography of the late twentieth century. Ideas on the social and environmental processes of conflict draw from a much longer, global discourse. This chapter uses the ancient-to-modern conflict landscape of central Vietnam to argue for a multi-layered, broader analysis of the environmental history of conflict.
