It is in performances?ranging from the scenarios of everyday interactions to ?cultural performances? such as pageants, festivals, political manifestations or sports, to the artistic performances of music, dance, theatre, literature, the visual and culinary arts and more recent media?that cultural identity and a sense of nationhood are fashioned. National identity is not an essence one is born with but something acquired in and through performances. Particularly important here are intercultural performances and transactions, and that not only in a colonial and postcolonial dimension, where such performative aspects have already been considered, but also in inner-European transactions. ?Englishness? or ?Britishness? and Italianità, the subject of this anthology, are staged both within each culture and, more importantly, in joint performances of difference across cultural borders. Performing difference highlights differences that ?make a difference?; it ?draws a line? between self and other?boundary lines that are, however, constantly being redrawn and renegotiated, and remain instable and shifting. 410 0$aInternationale Forschungen zur allgemeinen und vergleichenden Literaturwissenschaft ;$v114. 606 $aCross-cultural studies$zEngland 606 $aCross-cultural studies$zItaly 606 $aCultural relations 606 $aNational characteristics, English$vCross-cultural studies 606 $aNational characteristics, Italian$vCross-cultural studies 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCross-cultural studies 615 0$aCross-cultural studies 615 0$aCultural relations. 615 0$aNational characteristics, English 615 0$aNational characteristics, Italian 676 $a306 701 $aHertel$b Ralf$f1973-$0955601 701 $aPfister$b Manfred$0251400 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451935103321 996 $aPerforming national identity$92162586 997 $aUNINA
