However, the brute fact of subsequent uneven economic development compelled the Scots to bring into collision with that historically assigned identity a new-fashioned identity more appropriate to a dynamic modern nation. Great national moments of self-presentation, such as the Glasgow Empire Exhibition of 1938, were the occasions when the ongoing dialectic of modern/urban against rural/ancient emerged in its most public and delirious form. Such occasions therefore hold a political lesson. The process of speaking with two voices - the fissures; the uncertainties; the grating shifts of gear from one discourse to another - assert once more, the fluid, unstable character of national identity. Such occasions proclaim that national identity is not a set of inborn, natural characteristic in a people, but the product of that people's history. With the realisation of instability comes the realisation of the possibility of change.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Colin McArthur" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/colin-mcarthur/by-1938-scotland-had-for-nearly-200-years-lived-within-a-classic/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e97/colin-mcarthur-67480_1938_by-1938-scotland-had-for-nearly-200-year_1387250.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e97/colin-mcarthur-67480_1938_by-1938-scotland-had-for-nearly-200-year_1387250.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e97/colin-mcarthur-67480_1938_by-1938-scotland-had-for-nearly-200-year_1387250.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“By 1938, Scotland had for nearly 200 years lived within a classic peripheral identity assigned to it by the…” — Colin McArthur", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“To recall the extent to which Hitchcock was marked by his petit bourgeois interpellation may not radically change the way we read his films.

As a cosequence, the characteristic tropes of romantic nationalism were, in the Scottish context, diverted into non-political and non-military (in the sense of nationalist struggle) channels. This produced a particularly demented, introverted and sentimental romanticism which, since it could not focus on the future, oriented itself obsessively to the past. To the extent that this introverted nationalism found a contemporary role, it was in the service of British imperialism within which Scottish administrators and soldiers were disproportionately prominent.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Colin McArthur" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/colin-mcarthur/scotland-was-not-imune-to-these-developments-but-since-their-role-in/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d7c/colin-mcarthur-67480_focus-on-the-future_scotland-was-not-imune-to-these-developm_2345641.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d7c/colin-mcarthur-67480_focus-on-the-future_scotland-was-not-imune-to-these-developm_2345641.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d7c/colin-mcarthur-67480_focus-on-the-future_scotland-was-not-imune-to-these-developm_2345641.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“Scotland was not imune to these developments, but since their role in France, Germany, Itay and Poland was…” — Colin McArthur", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/colin-mcarthur/#person", "name": "Colin McArthur", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/colin-mcarthur/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b017/author-colin-mcarthur-67480.jpg" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/colin-mcarthur/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/colin-mcarthur/", "name": "Colin McArthur", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/colin-mcarthur/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/e97/colin-mcarthur-67480_1938_by-1938-scotland-had-for-nearly-200-year_1387250.jpg" }, "description": "Colin McArthur has 4 quotes on SMS4Smile.
