As an ardent supporter of independence, Jamie has dealt with the cultural past and current political state of Scotland in her poems as well as Scottish identity, its dialects, culture, and political history. Furthermore, Jamie has also contributed to the independence movement in Scotland which resulted in a devolved Scottish Parliament in 1999. Although Jamie's work is characterized by a keen interest in nature and the environment, her work is also preoccupied with issues related to Scotland and Scottish culture. Kathleen Jamie is one of the contemporary Scottish poets who deal with national identity in their works. The issue of national identity, which gained prominence in Scottish poetry after World War I, has played a signicant role in initiating the Scottish independence movement, as well as uncovering and re-establishing certain traditional qualities in Scottish poetry at the turn of the century. unionists/ centralists), which at the same time allows subjects to pass from one state to another and occupy them nonexclusively. On the basis of the evidence drawn from the interaction between sport and politics in the two nations, we argue that secessionism is a lim-inal field of transformation as it includes what is seen as mutually exclusive sets of relationships (Catalans vs. Our discussion will commence with a necessarily concise consideration of past academic contentions regarding the national " psyches," which have been argued to shape contemporary notions of identity and politics in Catalonia and Scotland, before turning our attention to the specific role of sport vis-à-vis these psyches and the growing clamour for greater political autonomy for each of these stateless nations. In this essay, we trace the symbolic conundrums of belonging and of the reconciliation of identities, in the context of Catalan and Scottish sport and politics. Keywords: Scottish independence movement, social movements, nationalism, identity, historicity and solidarity. This thesis is a contribution to the study of social movements, as well as it provides understanding of reasoning beyond and within nationalism. For instance, I claim that this ideology generates the practice of international solidarity as well as a specific identity which is constructed and reproduced for one specific political project: to achieve Scottish independence. This ideology is tied to historical narratives which are remade in present forms and take several expressions. Importantly, while I acknowledge how the Scottish independence movement navigates within a discourse of nationalism because of its nationalist character, I argue that the movement mainly make use of an alternative ideology. To understand the movement, I have made use of a political and active approach such as participating in meetings and at demonstrations. The study focuses on the members of the umbrella organisation of Yes Scotland, which is a diverse network of activist and party-political groups. By analysing arguments, emotions and actions in support for independence, I aim to discuss how the movement make use of cultural perspectives on history for continuous mobilisation. Master thesis (2018) This study examines the mobilisation and identity formation of the Scottish independence movement post-referendum. This chapter will explore Scotland's new push towards national sovereignty and my own experiences as an immigrant dealing with outdated stereotypes, and in some cases complete ignorance of Scotland, in Australia and Japan. While new ideas about what it means to be Scottish are enjoying a renaissance in Scotland, overseas Scots like myself, face challenges when expressing our identity in regions that may or may not be familiar with Scotland.
As a long-standing independence supporter and cam-paigner, the result was a bitter pill to swallow, as my own Scottish identity now felt threatened. The result, for people like myself, was devastating. Scotland chose to remain part of the United Kingdom.
For those of us who supported independence, the choice could not have been simpler, and despite a last-minute surge towards a Yes vote, the No side came off victorious, 55% to 45%. In 2014, nearly 85% of the Scottish electorate went to the ballot boxes to cast their vote in the independence referendum.
