Global Media Events and the Construction of National Identity. The 2006 Football World Cup in Germany (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783668579477)

Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Communications - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0, University of Bremen (Institut f r historische Publizistik, Kommunikations- und Medienwissenschaft), course: Transcultural Communication, language: English, abstract: This theoretically based paper will explore the relationship between the 2006 FIFA World Cup as a global media event, and the role of (tans-)national representations within this framework. What significance do forms of nationality have in the context of global, transnational media events? I would like to discuss this question by using the example of the construction of national identity through media discourse. Due to the limited extent of the paper, the focus will be on specifically selected studies with regard to constructing German national identity through national narratives and media coverage within the scope of the 2006 World Cup.
