An Explorative Case Study on Nationalism, Integration and National Identity. Oscar Brito Capon Master Thesis in Sociology Department of Sociology and Human Geography Faculty of Social Sciences University of Oslo June 2012 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology 2 Oscar Brito Capon - Master Thesis in Sociology Foreword Dear reader, the present research work represents, on one hand, my dearest wish to contribute to the understanding of some of the effects that the exclusionary, ethnocentric notions of nationhood and national belonging – which have characterized much of western European thinking throughout history – have had on individuals who do not fit within the preconceived frames of national unity and belonging with which most Europeans have been operating since the foundation of the nation-state approximately 140 years ago. On the other hand, this research also represents my personal journey to understand better my role as a citizen, a man, a father and a husband, while covered by a given aura of otherness, always reminding me of my permanent foreignness in the country I decided to make my home. In this sense, this has been a personal journey to learn how to cope with my new ascribed identity as an alien (my ‘labelled forehead’) without losing my essence in the process, and without forgetting who I also am and have been. This journey has been long and tough in many forms, for which I would like to thank the help I have received from those who have been accompanying my steps all along.

  • Wimaladasa Sweated It out Through Thick and Thin by Aubrey Kuruppu
    Wimaladasa sweated it out through thick and thin By Aubrey Kuruppu Walking around the ample, spacious premises at the Sugathadasa stadium last weekend; I encountered a dark, balding person whose face looked positively familiar. On closer scrutiny, and after double checking I found to my astonishment that he was one of Sri Lanka's best-ever sprinters, a national champion many times over, and an athlete who had represented his country with great distinction on many a foreign track. Having displayed his sprinting prowess in full measure at Alawwa Central, Wickremasinghe Wimaladasa (for that is the great man's name) duly found employment in the Sri Lanka Army. National champion in the 100 and 200 metres in 1964 and 1965, Wimaladasa was selected for the 1966 Asian Games in Bangkok. Injured prior to departure, he had a recurrence of the injury during his race and pulled out. He missed the whole of the 1967 season due to this injury. Words of wisdom spoken to him by sporting Doctors H.S.R Gunawardena and Brigadier Thurairajah made Wimaladasa change to the 400 metres in 1968. His success was immediate, as he lowered the record (49.8) held by Lakshman de Alwis and Darrel Lieverz. The time he returned was 48.7. He improved on this marginally at the Singapore Nationals, striking out for the Gold medal in 48.6. However he recorded his best timing of 47.4 at the Thai Nationals not long after. A Silver medal in the 400 metres at the 1970 Asian Games in Bangkok is a much cherished prize.

  • Chapter 2 Building a Society with a Lifelong Love of Sports [PDF:556KB]
    BUILDING A SOCIETY WITH Chapter 2 A LIFELONG LOVE OF SPORTS Part 1 Basic Measures to Promote Sports 1 Progress Made in Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports, and Direction of Future Measures (1) Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports Sports enrich our lives and make us more balanced. Also, sports satisfy both physical and mental needs. Sports are enjoyed by all people in the world. As an activity that influences our lives both physically and mentally, sport is thus essential to the creation of an optimistic, affluent, and vigorous society and in the sound physical and mental development of the individual. It is therefore of fundamental importance to allow people to partake in sports activities throughout their lives. The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), based on the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports formulated in September 2000, is implementing various measures to promote sports. The basic plan provides the fundamental principles for promoting sports in Japan based on the Sports Promotion Law and sets out specific promotion activities, including targets for the decade from FY2001 to FY2010. Progress of the Basic Plan for the Promotion of Sports (Example) (1) Measures to improve the local environment to create a lifelong sports society To increase the percentage of people doing a sport at least once a week to at least 50% (one out of two persons) • Progress As a result of boosting a range of different measures to create a society in which all people can enjoy sport at every stage of their lives (“lifelong sports society”), including nationwide deploy- ment of comprehensive community sports clubs, the percentage of adults doing a sport at least once a week increased from 37.2% in 2000 to 38.5% in 2004.

  • Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan
    Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Junko Habu, Chair Professor Christine Hastorf Professor Mack Horton Spring 2011 Abstract Fishing and Early Jomon Foodways at Sannai Maruyama, Japan By Mio Katayama Doctor of Philosophy in Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Professor Junko Habu, Chair This thesis examines the economic vs. social and symbolic importance of fish in the foodways of the prehistoric Jomon culture (16,000-2300 cal BP) of Japan. To achieve this goal, quantitative analyses of fish remains excavated from a water-logged midden of the Sannai Maruyama site (Aomori Prefecture, Japan) are conducted. Dated to the Lower Ento–a phase (ca. 5900–5650 cal BP) of the Early Jomon Period, the midden was associated with large amounts of organic remains, including fish bones. The perspective employed in this dissertation, foodways, emphasizes the importance of social and cultural roles of food. Rather than focus on bio-ecological aspects and nutritional values of food, this thesis regards food as one of the central elements of individual cultures. In Japanese archaeology, food of the Jomon Period has been a central them to the discussion reconstructing the lifeways of prehistoric people of the Japanese archipelago. Large amounts of data, including faunal and floral materials, have been accumulated from numerous rescue excavations of Jomon sites that took place between the 1970s and late 1990s. These archaeological data allowed the development of detailed culture historical studies of the Jomon Period that span over 10,000 years.
