At first glance, the struggle revolves around whether or not Zwarte Piet is a racist ‘blackface’ character. However, this thesis explores how people’s participation in the debate can also be viewed as affirmations, claims or propositions about the norms of discussion them- selves – who is allowed to have a say, what kinds of arguments are legitimate and how and where should the discussion take place? Through a detailed analysis of interactions in three widely diverging institutional con- texts, the author traces how ostensibly neutral interaction norms for debate about the topic imply specific understandings of history, racism and national belonging and iden- tity that go beyond the question whether or not the holiday tradition carries any racist elements. This reveals how protest against the figure of Zwarte Piet can function as an Heleen Schols opportunity to deepen the understanding and expand the practices of democratic debate in the Netherlands.

Firstly, I am enormously indebted to the authors, thinkers and activists on whose shoulders I stand and with whom I have been in dialogue for all these years – sometimes face-to-face, more often through my studying of their ideas – while working on this research and grappling with its themes. Then, a huge thanks to my wonderful supervisors Maarten Hajer and Marcel Maussen. Thank you for believing in me and in this project, and for again and again helping me sharpen my analysis through your critical questions and insightful suggestions – and then insisting I pull myself up by my bootstraps and improve my texts even when I felt I had already given all I could in writing a chapter. David Laws, you generously opened the doors for me when I came knocking at the University of Amsterdam. Thank you so much for introducing me to new ways of understanding the messy and beautiful business of human interaction. Many of the ideas and literature that you introduced me to have found their way into this dissertation, and your mentorship during the first years of this PhD adventure has been very valuable to me. Before even starting this PhD trajectory, I was lucky to get some help on navigating aspects of the academic world which I had little knowledge of. Edwin Praat, Onno Sinke and Dorien Zandbergen, thank you for acting as sounding boards when I was still only considering taking the leap. Jethro Pettit and Linda Waldman, thank you so much for your willingness to provide letters of recommendation to help me get through the application process for the AISSR PhD programme. Getting officially underway as a PhD candidate continually meant there was more new territory to navigate, and I could not have done it without the help and companionship of many of the people I encountered on the way. I am grateful to my colleagues from the AISSR’s programme group Transnational Configurations, Conflict and Governance for their helpful feedback on early versions of some of the case studies in this book. I especially want to mention the directors of the programme group, Marieke de Goede and John Grin, for their kind support in getting through a rocky stretch of this PhD journey. Jan Willem Duyvendak, thank you for discussing some of the topics of my research with me when I was still in the early stages of defining my approach. Thanks also to Yannick Coenders for so readily making time to help me strategise the next steps when I needed it. And Rob Zaman, I’m so glad we met at that Winter School in Vienna – hanging out with you, writing together and sharing plenty of laughs as well as struggles has meant a lot. Judith van de Kamp, thank you for sharing your experience and advice on applying for funding.

  • Foreign Chrematonyms in a Globalised Society. a Case Study
    111 Iulian Boldea (Coord.) Globalization and National Identity. Studies on the Strategies of Intercultural Dialogue LANGUAGE AND DISCOURSE SECTION FOREIGN CHREMATONYMS IN A GLOBALISED SOCIETY. A CASE STUDY Anamaria Radu and Alexandra Cotoc PhD, ”Babeș-Bolyai” University of Cluj-Napoca Abstract. In the present paper we observe the pragmatic dimensions of the message transmitted through names related to entertainment (restaurants, pubs, music bands etc.) or things in the field of culture and leisure activities. These names represent a new onymic category and they are labeled as chrematonyms. In the era of globalisation, some of them are used in a culture, but originate and/or relate to another. Moreover, they can influence people to react in a particular way, hence they have a pragmatic value. The paper presents the link between chrematonyms and multiculturalism, highlighting the concepts of globalisation and glocalisation. It also pinpoints the difference between chrematonyms and brands. We provide a possible classification for chrematonyms and we carry out a comparative analysis of foreign (mainly English) chrematonyms in Romania, emphasizing the fact that they represent signs of globalisation. We also analyse why foreign chrematonyms have gained an intensive and pervasive meaning in a globalised society. Keywords: chrematonyms, globalisation, glocalisation, culture, pragmatic dimensions 0. Introduction This study provides an overview of the onymic category of chrematonyms and puts forward a practical structural classification for them. We focus on foreign chrematonyms which use English or combinations of English and another language because English functions as a lingua franca at a macro-level, being used and spoken worldwide, and also on other foreign chrematonyms encountered in Romania.
