National identitet og internationalt fællesskabAf Arthur Macdonald AllchinI sin redegørelse inddrager Allchin personligt farvede betragtninger over, hvad han som englænder har lært ved at stifte bekendtskab med Grundtvig og hans betydning for Danmark i historie og nutid. I fortsættelsen skitserer Allchin, hvordan vigtige perspektiver hos Grundtvig først bliver anskuet i deres virkelige rækkevidde, nr. deres aktuelle relevans langt ud over Danmarks grænser bliver taget med i betragtning.Alt for ofte har det været således, at 'national identitet' er blevet anskuet som et sæt af værdier, der ligger i strid med det pågældende lands plads i det internationale fællesskab. For Grundtvig var det ikke således. Selv om han undertiden kunne give anledning til nationalistiske forestillinger og også. siden hen er blevet brugt i samme retning, var Grundtvigs egentlige overbevisning knyttet til, at han forstod sig selv og sin virksomhed inden for danskhedens rammer og p. samme tid understregede Danmarks plads i universalhistorien. Således var han alt andet end isolationist.Grundtvigs forståelse af national identitet bygger på tre ting: et folk, der bebor et afgrænset geografisk omr.de, som endvidere har et modersmål og en digtning, og som endelig har en fælles historisk arv.De indsigter, der rummes heri, har på afgørende punkter relevans i lyset af dagens internationale situation. Men netop ved at gennemføre en afbalanceret vurdering af Grundtvigs tanker, kan vi opnå et frugtbart grundlag for bestræbelser, der rækker fra kultur- og samfundspolitik til undervisning, fra kirkeliv og teologi til bestræbelserne p. at virkeligg.re en højere grad af fællesskab mellem kristenhedens kirkesamfund.Med denne omfattende målsætning som sin ledetråd udtrykker Allchin for sit eget vedkommende taknemmelighed over at kunne deltage i et samarbejde med kolleger fra Det teologiske Fakultet ved Aarhus Universitet og i særdeleshed Center for Grundtvig Studier.

"Gender identity is a concept that young people are talking about in increasingly open ways, and they need resources to help them better understand this complex topic. This sensitive and age-appropriate overview of gender identity features helpful definitions and explanations, an introduction to the use of preferred pronouns, and tips for talking to both peers and adults about this topic. Fact boxes and graphic organizers supplement the carefully researched main text, and full-color photographs make this topic more accessible and relatable for young readers. As they explore the informative text, they're encouraged to develop empathy and an appreciation for diversity"--

"We know that it matters crucially to be able to say who we are, why we are here, and where we are going," Peter Brooks writes in Enigmas of Identity. Many of us are also uncomfortably aware that we cannot provide a convincing account of our identity to others or even ourselves. Despite or because of that failure, we keep searching for identity, making it up, trying to authenticate it, and inventing excuses for our unpersuasive stories about it. This wide-ranging book draws on literature, law, and psychoanalysis to examine important aspects of the emergence of identity as a peculiarly modern

"We live in a world in which being a 'citizen' of a state and being a 'national' are by no means the same. Amidst much scholarly debate about 'nations' and 'nationalism', comparatively little has been written explicitly on 'national identity' and a great deal less is solidly evidence-based. This book focuses on national identity in England and Scotland. Using data collected over twenty years it asks: does national identity really matter to people? How does 'national identity' differ from 'nationality' and having a passport? Are there particular people and places which have ambiguous or contested national identities? What happens if someone makes a claim to a national identity? On what basis do others accept or reject the claim? Does national identity have much internal substance, or is it simply about defending group boundaries? How does national identity relate to politics and constitutional change?"..

I study identity-marker based policies and demonstrate the existence of identity manipulation. I analyze the impact of the Punjab Alienation of Land Act (1901), a caste-based legislation, on identity manipulation. Using data from the colonial census, I show that a movement of identity manipulation took place in response to the law. I estimate that in 20 years, 7.5 percent of the population that had an incentive to do so manipulated its identity. I then use an accounting exercise to estimate that the amount of mistargeting caused by this manipulation is between 3.9 percent and 8.2 percent of the land distributed.

Looks at how different cultural narratives and practices work to constitute identity for individuals and groups in multi-ethnic, 'postcolonial' societies. This book is useful for students in cultural studies, sociology of culture, literary studies, history, race and ethnicity studies, media and film studies, and gender studies

An accessible introduction to the sociological study of identity and belonging, this wide-ranging and engaging collection examines the interplay between self and society, and draws on case studies to explore sites of identity construction in a globalized world.

This paper models the interaction between individuals' identity choices and redistribution. Both redistributive policies and identity choices are endogenous, and there might be multiple equilibria. The model is applied to ethnicity and social class. In an equilibrium with high taxes, the poor identify as poor and favor high taxes. In an equilibrium with low taxes, at least some of the poor identify with their ethnic group and favor low taxes. The model predicts that redistribution is highest when society is ethnically homogeneous, but the effect of ethnic diversity on redistribution is not necessarily monotonic.
