Can we address the issue of nationalism without polemics and
restore it to the domain of social science? Claudio Lomnitz-Adler
takes a major step in that direction by applying anthropological
tools ...to the study of national culture. His sweeping and innovative
interpretation of Mexican national ideology constructs an entirely
new theoretical framework for the study of national and regional
cultures everywhere. With an analysis of culture and ideology in
internally differentiated regional spaces-in this case Morelos and
the Huasteca in Mexico- Exits from the Labyrinth links rich
ethnographic and historical research to two specific aspects of
Mexican national ideology and culture: the history of legitimacy
and charisma in Mexican politics, and the relationship between the
national community and racial ideology.
ABSTRAK: Karya sastra yang dikontruksi budaya disebut juga identitas etnis. Beberapa aspek membentuk identitas etnis, yaitu: (1) identitas diri sendiri; (2) pengetahuan tentang budaya etnis (tradisi, ...adat istiadat, nilai, dan perilaku); dan (3) perasaan bahwa seseorang termasuk dalam kelompok etnis tertentu. Metode kualitatif digunakan dalam penelitian ini untuk mengkonstruksikan elemen struktural cerpen melalui pendekatan cultural studies yang menggunakan critical discourse analysis (CDA). Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk memperluas pemahaman kita tentang fenomena identitas etnis dengan melihat identitas etnis sebagai refleksi sejarah atau kontruksi sosial, serta bagaimana hubungan kuasa dibangun dalam teks. Metode pengumpulan data terdiri dari mengunduh cerpen dari media online, yang kemudian dideskripsikan, dianalisis, dan ditafsirkan sesuai dengan elemen struktural cerpen, identitas etnis, dan CDA. Identitas etnis dilihat pada tahap CDA melalui komponen linguistik melalui tata bahasa dan praktik wacana berupa produksi dan konsumsi teks, serta relasi kuasa berupa dinamika antar karakter, setting cerita, dan tema yang diangkat, diantaranya konflik interpersonal, penindasan dan diskriminasi, serta asimilasi etnis antara kelompok mayoritas dan minoritas. KATA KUNCI Identitas Etnis; Cultural Studies; Critical Discourse Analysis; Relasi Kuasa ETHNIC IDENTITY IN INDONESIAN LITERARY WORKS IN ONLINE MEDIA (CULTURAL STUDIES IN CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS) ABSTRACT: Literary works that are constructed by culture are also called ethnic identities. Several aspects form ethnic identity, namely: (1) one's own identity; (2) knowledge of ethnic culture (traditions, customs, values, and behavior); and (3) the feeling that one belongs to a particular ethnic group. Qualitative methods are used in this research to construct the structural elements of short stories through a cultural studies approach that uses critical discourse analysis (CDA). The aim of this research is to expand our understanding of the phenomenon of ethnic identity by viewing ethnic identity as a reflection of history or social construction, as well as how power relations are built in texts. The data collection method consists of downloading short stories from online media, which are then described, analyzed and interpreted according to the short story's structural elements, ethnic identity and CDA. Ethnic identity is seen at the CDA stage through linguistic components through grammar and discourse practices in the form of text production and consumption, as well as power relations in the form of dynamics between characters, story settings, and themes raised, including interpersonal conflict, oppression and discrimination, and ethnic assimilation between groups. majority and minority.

Applied linguistics is a field concerned with issues pertaining to language(s) and literacies in the real world and with the people who learn, speak, write, process, translate, test, teach, use, and ...lose them in myriad ways. It is also fundamentally concerned with transnationalism, mobility, and multilingualism—the movement across cultural, linguistic, and (often) geopolitical or regional borders and boundaries. The field is, furthermore, increasingly concerned with identity construction and expression through particular language and literacy practices across the life span, at home, in diaspora settings, in short-term and long-term sojourns abroad for study or work, and in other contexts and circumstances. In this article, I discuss some recent areas in which applied linguists have investigated the intersections of language (multilingualism), identity, and transnationalism. I then present illustrative studies and some recurring themes and issues.
•Science is a discovery process that acts on variety.•Prescriptions about power and method undermine the discovery process.•Exploration of variety generates incremental progress.•Research on ...bilingualism concerns the identification of bilingual phenotypes.•Effective phenotyping requires sensitive tools informed by rich characterization.
An important aim of research on bilingualism is to understand how the brain adapts to the demands of using more than one language.In this paper, we argue that pursuing such an aim entails valuing our research as a discovery process that acts on variety.Prescriptions about sample size and methodology, rightly aimed at establishing a sound basis for generalization, should be understood as being in the service of science as a discovery process. We propose and illustrate by drawing from previous and contemporary examples within brain and cognitive sciences, that this necessitates exploring the neural bases of bilingual phenotypes:the adaptive variety induced through the interplay of biology and culture. We identify the conceptual and methodological prerequisites for such exploration and briefly allude to the publication practices that afford it as a community practice and to the risk of allowing methodological prescriptions, rather than discovery, to dominate the research endeavor.
There are large and persistent disparities in life expectancy among racial–ethnic groups in the USA, but the extent to which these patterns vary geographically on a local scale is not well ...understood. This analysis estimated life expectancy for five racial–ethnic groups, in 3110 US counties over 20 years, to describe spatial–temporal variations in life expectancy and disparities between racial–ethnic groups.
We applied novel small-area estimation models to death registration data from the US National Vital Statistics System and population data from the US National Center for Health Statistics to estimate annual sex-specific and age-specific mortality rates stratified by county and racial–ethnic group (non-Latino and non-Hispanic White White, non-Latino and non-Hispanic Black Black, non-Latino and non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaska Native AIAN, non-Latino and non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander API, and Latino or Hispanic Latino) from 2000 to 2019. We adjusted these mortality rates to correct for misreporting of race and ethnicity on death certificates and then constructed abridged life tables to estimate life expectancy at birth.
Between 2000 and 2019, trends in life expectancy differed among racial–ethnic groups and among counties. Nationally, there was an increase in life expectancy for people who were Black (change 3·9 years 95% uncertainty interval 3·8 to 4·0; life expectancy in 2019 75·3 years 75·2 to 75·4), API (2·9 years 2·7 to 3·0; 85·7 years 85·3 to 86·0), Latino (2·7 years 2·6 to 2·8; 82·2 years 82·0 to 82·5), and White (1·7 years 1·6 to 1·7; 78·9 years 78·9 to 79·0), but remained the same for the AIAN population (0·0 years –0·3 to 0·4; 73·1 years 71·5 to 74·8). At the national level, the negative difference in life expectancy for the Black population compared with the White population decreased during this period, whereas the negative difference for the AIAN population compared with the White population increased; in both cases, these patterns were widespread among counties. The positive difference in life expectancy for the API and Latino populations compared with the White population increased at the national level from 2000 to 2019; however, this difference declined in a sizeable minority of counties (615 42·0% of 1465 counties) for the Latino population and in most counties (401 60·2% of 666 counties) for the API population. For all racial–ethnic groups, improvements in life expectancy were more widespread across counties and larger from 2000 to 2010 than from 2010 to 2019.
Disparities in life expectancy among racial–ethnic groups are widespread and enduring. Local-level data are crucial to address the root causes of poor health and early death among disadvantaged groups in the USA, eliminate health disparities, and increase longevity for all.

This article deals with the analysis of an interdisciplinary project entitled “Education is + Culture”, developed in the schools of the Traipu Municipal Public School, Alagoas. The purpose is to ...highlight its contribution to the (re) construction of the traipuense cultural identity. The aim is also to provoke the reflection of education professionals about the importance of collaborative teaching practice in dealing with cross-cutting themes that, like the project, encourage the visualization, respect, appreciation and new interpretations of culture and identity. To this end, we adopted a bibliographic methodology and a qualitative approach based on theories of authors such as Bhabha (2007), Fazenda (2011), Freire (1987), Moreira and Candau (2008), Geertz (2001) and Hall (2006), besides being based on the BNCC (2017).
Abstract
After the First Wald War, the community of Transyvanian Saxons found itself in a new political context. This study analyses cultural representations as both self-identification and cultural ...dialogue in two of the main publications in German language of the early inter-war period, the cultural journals

. Literary translations and the representation of other literatures through the selection of authors and texts are also subjects of this study.
Our research explores the experience of holding a Hybrid Multicultural Identity (a superordinate cultural identity; HMI) and the social contextual experiences hybrid multiculturals describe as ...influential to the development of an HMI. We conducted a Photovoice study with 10 hybrid multiculturals (age 18–32; 6 women and 4 men) living in a college town in the Midwestern US. The participants valued HMI for the psychological advantages they attributed to this identity. We also found the participants described three broad categories of their social environment that were key to the development of HMI: cultural composition in living environments, perceptions of macro‐level marginalization, and culturally related interpersonal experiences. Our research documents (1) the lived experience of being a hybrid multicultural (2) the importance of cultural mixing for HMI development, and (3) how people with HMI describe primarily negative perceptions of the social environment as instrumental to the development of HMI.
