A Study on the Construction of Patriotism in Main Theme Film and Television Works

Mainstream cinematic works, with their distinctive perspectives and narrative styles, have emerged as vital vehicles for the promotion of patriotic sentiments. These productions, through their diverse and emotionally profound subject matter, not only provide audiences with visual and auditory delights but also ignite a strong sense of identity with the nation and its people. In recent years, as times evolve, the standard of creating such works has been continuously elevated, with themes becoming increasingly relatable to real life, striving to awaken dormant patriotism within viewers. Amid the global wave of cultural integration and collision, there is an ever-growing need for cinematic works to disseminate and fortify patriotic ideals. These mainstream films are not merely artistic creations but also cultural missions, employing in-depth explorations of history and modernity, individual and collective narratives, to forge novel expressions of patriotism.

Enhancing Paragraph Writing Proficiency: A Study of Students' Performance Post Global English Textbooks Exposure

The article focuses on identification of students’ performance to write paragraphs and the topics needed by students to be developed post global English textbooks exposure. This study aimed to investigate description of current students’ performance to write paragraphs after studying a paragraph writing using Global English Textbooks and to find out the topics needed by students to be developed as teaching English textbook materials for Paragraph Writing Course. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of students' paragraph writing performance with qualitative interpretation into their perceptions to the use of global English textbooks as writing paragraph teaching materials. The total samples were 44 students of English Study Program, Faculty of Letters, Universitas Muslim Indonesia. To obtain information from the informants, the researchers employed questionnaires of Paragraph Writing distributed to the students through the Learning Management System (LMS) Google form. The results showed that students exhibited a wide range of proficiency levels in paragraph writing, from advanced to fundamental deficiencies, necessitating targeted support across all skill levels. Moreover, a significant proportion of students lacked confidence in their writing abilities, emphasizing the importance of tailored instruction to address uncertainties effectively. Challenges with global English textbooks, including language complexity and cultural references, exacerbated these issues. Despite the inherent benefits of paragraph writing, such as language development and critical thinking skills, some students questioned its relevance in non-native English education settings. Additionally, doubts about fundamental language aspects like vocabulary and grammar underscored the need for focused instruction in these areas. Overall, addressing these challenges required comprehensive supports and resources to enhance students' paragraph writing skills and confidence levels effectively. Meanwhile, the exploration of sixty topics provided valuable insights into students' interests and knowledge. Among them, sixteen topics emerged as notably popular, indicating a strong resonance with students. These topics ranged from personal narratives to societal issues, reflecting students' diverse values and concerns. Furthermore, themes related to self-improvement and academic success garnered considerable interest, underscoring students' aspirations for growth. Even less chosen topics still demonstrated students' engagement with various aspects of interpersonal relationships and cultural identity. Moreover, the inclusion of less common topics reflected students' recognition of broader educational and patriotic ideals, albeit with less enthusiasm.

‘Love of the Nation’ and the Church in China: An Issue of Belonging and Moral Identity

Abstract This article contributes to a deeper understanding of Christian patriotism in China by reflecting on the phenomenon from a pastoral-theological perspective and by considering the sociocultural meaning of patriotism in the Chinese context. Through three examples, the author analyzes different discourses of Christian patriotic identity, which represent a large specter of contemporary Protestant Christianity in China. She demonstrates that the phenomenon of Chinese Christian patriotism primarily concerns moral identity and is only secondarily a political issue.

Цифровизация и патриотическое воспитание: конфликт двух базовых государственных стратегий формирования политической идентичности российской молодёжи

There are two important directions within the structure of current Russian domestic policy, i.e. the policy of patriotic education of youth and the policy of digitalization of various areas of public and state, as well as private life of citizens. Based on the idea of the need for a state to maintain the integrity and consistency of its political interests and management decisions, both directions should complement each other and thereby make domestic policy more effective. Especially taking into account the fact that both of these directions are connected to the solution of a strategic task of formation of a stable political identity among the new generation of Russian citizens. In reality, these two directions are in conflict today at the highest level of public presentation of those specific tasks that the younger generation will have to solve in the process of finding their identity. An analysis of the way digitalization policy is presented shows that today it contains a real risk of undermining all the work to form the patriotic identity of Russian youth.

Патриотизм в структуре национально-государственной идентичности российской молодежи

The article is concerned with the place and specificity of patriotism in the value architecture of the national-state identity of Russian youth. It was stayed that patriotism in the structure of the national-state identity of young Russians is characterized by extreme variability, a variety of its possible models and manifestations. There were identified four most significant variations of patriotic identity among young Russians: “great-power”, “critical”, “cultural-historical” and “stereotypical”. The first – the “great power” – variation of patriotism is based on distinct reminiscent imperatives of perception of geopolitical reality. It presupposes the presence in the minds of young people of positive image of Russia’s past, as a rule, adjacent to the image of a geopolitical “enemy”. The second, cultural and historical variation also involves an emphasis on the image of Russia’s past. But at the same time, representatives of the segment of “cultural and historical patriots” are more distanced from politics and focus on the cultural and scientific achievements of Russia, which cause them a sense of pride. The third variation – “critical patriotism” – is characterized by a high degree of critical rationalization of Russian political reality. The fourth variation – “stereotypical” patriotism – is characterized by the reproduction of well-known facts and stereotypes about Russia, mainly historical and geographical.

Interpretation of Santri Salaf From Islamic Boarding School (Pesantren) National Narratives

Muslims are under pressure to elaborate rationales for their growing sense of nationalism within the context of the pesantren community. The three-volume National Jurisprudence Book was created by Pesantren Lirboyo in response to this occurrence. The researcher adopted a qualitative hermeneutic viewpoint to better understand the pesantren community's patriotic ideals. In-depth interviews with long-term validity checks, document analyses, and meeting observations are the data sources. While the developed analysis criticizes Antonio Gramsci's ideological hegemony's underpinnings. The results of the investigation indicated that problem-solving efforts employ the yellow book study method and contemporary legal studies (contactability).

СОЦИАЛЬНО-ПСИХОЛОГИЧЕСКИЕ ФАКТОРЫ РЕПРЕЗЕНТАЦИИ БУДУЩЕГО ПОДРОСТКОВ И МОЛОДЕЖИ КУБАНИ

The modern social situation is characterized by rapidly increased uncertainty, uncertainty of the present and unpredictability of the future. This problem is particularly relevant for the young audience, which is the potential of modern society. The situation of social instability caused by the COVID-19 epidemic leads to a narrowing of the time range of life planning, does not allow us to correlate our own goals with the prospects for the society development objectively. The article presents the results of empirical research of socio-psychological predictors of the representation of the future representatives of generation Z and generation Y. The effects of factors such as social media engagement, self-reported social identity, and cognitive, emotional, and behavioral aspects of the image of the future in generation Z and generation Y have been studied. Intergenerational differences in cognitive and behavioral aspects of the image of the future are revealed: representatives of generation Y have a higher assessment of collective risks and readiness to help others in difficult life circumstances. The main predictor of the cognitive aspect of the image of the future representatives of generation Z is cognitive absorption in social networks, and representatives of generation Y – compulsive use of social networks. The self-assessment of patriotic identity affects the behavioral aspect of the image of the future representatives of generation Z and generation Y.

“Passionate Protest”:The Value Choice of Chinese Students Studying in the United States to“Resist Japanese Goods” under the“Shandong Issue”

After the failure of China's negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, a fierce national consciousness quickly spread to the entire intellectual community, especially among Chinese students in the United States, who remained intensely national even though they were on the other side of the ocean. Under the stimulation of domestic and foreign difficulties, the call for national salvation is increasingly rising, and the connection between“scholar” and“national salvation” has become close, and many students consciously take the mission of national salvation to themselves. Students in the United States expressed their close attention to this situation through the“passionate revolution” of“boycotting Japanese goods”. For the students studying in the United States, although they live on the other side of the ocean, the number is not large compared with the vigorous protests in China, but they inevitably participate in the tide of national salvation and become one of the important forces for national salvation. In terms of the attitude of foreign students to“boycott Japanese goods”, most of them have a deep-rooted national consciousness in China since ancient times, while a minority of them, as representatives, are more inclined to adopt a way of self-improvement that tends to“national self-determination” and has more internal awareness of the nation. Reflects the scholar to serve the country another face. It can be said that the value choices and a series of historical activities of students studying in the United States driven by patriotic spirit reflect the dual interaction between students studying in the United States and the fate of the country in modern times, and shine the light of pure patriotic ideals of overseas students on the other side.

Public Confessions: The Religious Conversions That Changed American Politics

Rebecca L. Davis's Public Confessions shows how religious conversions of public figures in the mid-twentieth-century United States were far more than individual changes of mind and heart. Instead, “religious conversions and the responses they elicited bore unique, political significance,” fueled by public debates about authenticity (pp. 10–11). While some Americans accepted these conversions, however unexpected, as modern embodiments of classic religious and patriotic ideals, others worried about manipulation. Davis begins with the politician and writer Claire Boothe Luce and her 1946 conversion to Roman Catholicism. While Catholic faith eased Luce's personal struggles, she also worked with the prominent cleric Fulton J. Sheen to contend for its democratizing power against communism. The second chapter profiles conversions of ex-Communists such as Whittaker Chambers to “redemptive Christianity and heterosexual monogamy,” the latter offering skeptical public evidence of authentic transformation (p. 44). Complicating compelling conversions, however, were the discomforting cases of dishonest ex-Communists such as Harvey Matusow and the American prisoners of war in North Korea who declined to return stateside in 1954, both the subject of chapter 3.

Museum of game sports as a means of patriotic education of students

The article deals with the issues of patriotic education of students and the main directions in the education of patriotism among students. The concept of patriotism is considered as patriotic consciousness, patriotic activity, patriotic relations and patriotic organization. The museum has a huge potential in this activity, the role of which has grown significantly at the present stage. The areas of museums work at the moment are so extensive that it allows them to be included in the educational process of forming the ideals of patriotism among modern students. A study is presented to determine the formation of a sense of patriotism among students of the Institute of Physical Culture, Sports and Youth Policy (IFCIMP) of the Ural Federal University, as well as the awareness of programs of patriotic education at the university and the development of game sports. An experimental study has shown that informing students about game sports promotes involvement in sports activities. The participation in training and competitive processes creates conditions for the formation of patriotism among students in game sports. The creation of a museum of game sports will be one of the innovative means of patriotism fostering.

A model of formation of patriotic ideals of students of agricultural institutions of professional prehigher education

The article is devoted to the problem of the formation of patriotic ideals of students of agricultural institutions of vocational prehigher education. The essence of this concept has been clarified. The author's structural and functional model of the formation of patriotic ideals of students of agricultural institutions of vocational pre-higher education is presented. The following blocks of the model are distinguished and substantiated: target (goal and task), content (structural components of patriotic ideals of students of agricultural institutions of vocational higher education), theoretical and methodological (approaches, principles), procedural (stages of deploying the methodology, methods, forms, means of work), evaluation-resultative (criteria and indicators, levels of formation of patriotic ideals of students of agricultural institutions of vocational higher education).

State-patriotic education of Law Enforcement Officers and Special services of Russia as an actual Problem in pedagogical Axiology

Introduction. The article actualizes the problem of the manifestation of universal, national (all-Russian) state and service-professional values that guarantee responsibility and the development of patriotism in the process of fulfilling multifunctional duties in the life and service of every law enforcement and special services officer of Russia. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the conceptual provisions of the problem of state–patriotic education of law enforcement officers and Special Forces of Russia, to identify key groups of values and value orientations, to highlight the main principles of educational activity, to determine methods and forms of purposeful and systematic educational work. The study was conducted because of the implementation of an axiomatic approach, which serves as a methodological basis for the formation of a national-patriotic worldview of law enforcement and special services of the Russian Federation. Because of the fundamentals of axiological pedagogy, the main conceptual provisions and ideas of state-patriotic education are considered. Effective application of the provisions of pedagogical axiology to state education and patriotic activity requires creative application of the structural components of state patriotism on the part of the leadership and law enforcement officers and Special Forces of Russia: knowledge, motivation, values, positive and behavioral training. The author substantiates a set of values embodying moral and patriotic ideals and serving as standards of decency and patriotism for young people, conditionally classified as fundamental values (Homeland, Fatherland, patriotism, loyalty, culture, language, history, traditions, and faith) and professional values. The mechanisms of implementation of state-patriotic education are considered: goals, categories of social values of employees (including the dominance of patriotism), principles (scientific, humanism, consistency, priority, continuity, integrated approach, positive action, and differentiated approach), and forms, methods (training and education). Conclusion. The stated results of the conducted research are of significant importance for law enforcement agencies and special services within the framework of ongoing organizational and staff reforms.

폭력의 식민주의적 기원

For hundreds of thousands of Europeans who once lived in Algeria, the idealization of the past is reproduced in melancholic ‘nostalgeria’. But the tragedy begins with the fact that only the OAS and its successors have dishonestly and consistently instrumentalized it. Not content to throw an entire community into chaos, the extremists in ‘French Algeria’ subsequently sought to monopolize the community’s memory. In this paper, I would like to examine the roots, history, and contemporary aftermath of the Secret Armed Organisation that intentionally triggered the amazing vortex of ‘violence’ in France and Algeria since early 1961. We want to track down the deviations of officers with false patriotic ideals, fascist fighters, and those who have turned into assassins who wanted to “block history”. And I want to look at how and why the hot memories of this period, dotted with killer madness, still work in a stealthy way underground in French society.

Popular Song Topics in the Dutch Republic

This article investigates popular topics and topical fluctuations in a diachronic corpus of 43,772 Dutch songs, all written between 1550 and 1750, contained within the Dutch Song Database. Computational methods such as topic modelling are used to analyse the relationship between topical changes and cultural-historical developments. Two cultural trends are used as case studies: the role of Petrarchism, and the articulation of a patriotic identity in early modern Dutch song culture. Furthermore, this data-driven approach reveals how subcategories can be defined within the existing but incomplete genre classification in the song collection. The results obtained contribute to a better understanding of the richness of the Dutch Song Database, and will facilitate the use of the song collection by future users.

Social capital as a factor in the development of civic engagement of students

Introduction. In modern conditions of becoming of a civil society and the constitutional state the public attention is concentrated on modern youth whose civic activity affects how the tasks set for society and the state will be implemented. Purpose setting. The future of Russia is largely determined by the values that are emerging today in the communities of schoolchildren and students. In this regard, the objective of forming conceptual representations about the processes of formation of civic engagement of young people becomes to be relevant. The purpose of this study is to analyze the social capital of the individual as a factor influencing the civic activity of young people studying both at school and at university, including those who are representatives of the Russian movement of schoolchildren. Methodology and methods of the study. The paper provides a theoretical systematic and meaningful analysis of such variables that form social capital as the value attitudes of young people, the level of trust in various agents of influence and the strength of communication with them. Results. The conducted correlation analysis confirmed the hypothesis that exists a relationship between these variables and the object of study. It is shown that modern youth is largely focused on solving their own problems, focused on the "inner circle", is not inclined to trust people in general, lacks solidarity values, concentrating on individualistic interests, and this significantly hinders their inclusion in the manifestation of civic activity. The exception is the representatives of the Russian movement of schoolchildren, who have a high level of trust in the state, patriotic ideals and willingness to interact with public organizations, they are prone to civic responsibility and social activity. Conclusion. It is necessary to create mechanisms for the inclusion of young people in various communities to solve socially significant issues, to strengthen the values of solidarity, as well as to form a unified value system in the youth environment, in which not only universal values, but also patriotism would occupy a significant place.

Lola Mora in Tucumán: Personal Costs and Benefits of Creating Public Art, 1890-1904

From a traditional perspective, women who have triumphed in the arts, literature, or science have been seen as an anomaly or “exceptional women” by historians. In 1895, only a third of girls under 14 could read in the small provincial town of Tucuman, in northern Argentina. However, Lola Mora displayed her sculptures in her first exhibitions in the same year. Her career as a sculptor was legitimized and recognized in her hometown Argentina, after spending years in Europe developing her talent. Her career as an artist has historically been seen as a distinct rarity, and few people have attempted to provide an explanation or contextualization for her success as an artist at the turn of the 20th century. In this article, I propose an analysis of the methods that Lola Mora used to legitimize her art and establish herself professionally. I would like to draw attention to Lola Mora’s conscious decision to contradict the contemporary ideals of patriotism and politics as themes in her art; her sculptures were physical manifestations of her feelings on the contentious aforementioned subjects. Lola Mora realigned her focus on the intricacies of provincial and national politics during the 1890s, but she did not abandon her art. Her career has been interpreted as a radical deviation from the lives that women conducted publicly in the 20th century.

Neoromantic myths, modernist irreverence, and the Gombrowiczean turn in Polish hip hop

ABSTRACT In the early 1990s, the transplanted American genre of hip hop took shape in a newly democratic Poland. Polish rappers grounded themselves within their cultural context and figured themselves as spiritual successors of Poland’s Romantic bards. Not only did Polish hip hop respond to the nation’s new sociopolitical realities, it also produced a neoromantic poetics to assert an authentic Polish identity and music. This paper analyzes how the Polish rapper Filip Szcześniak, also known as Taco Hemingway, self-reflexively critiques Polish hip hop’s macho, patriotic identity by mirroring Witold Gombrowicz’s critical engagement with Polish Romanticism’s cultural legacy. By intertextually evoking Gombrowicz’s critiques of Form, masculinity, and community, Szcześniak indicts Polish hip hop’s neoromantic poetics. Szcześniak’s lyrics identify a filistria, a virtualized community whose double-edged disenchantment potentializes a subversion of hegemonic Form as well as its destructive reinvigoration. By expressing Gombrowicz’s theories through hip hop, Szcześniak formulates a new poetics that disengages from the genre’s neoromanticism and hegemonic masculinity while providing a sustained critique of Poland’s revived nationalist myths. Polish hip hop’s neoromantic poetics and Szcześniak’s Gombrowiczean turn exemplify how transplanted genres can re-imagine cultural canons for new demographics.
