Item Are Patriots Bigots? An Inquiry into the Vices of In-group Pride(2003) Elkins, ZacharyOne view in the study of intergroup conflict is that pride implies prejudice. However, an increasing number of scholars have come to view in-group pride more benignly, suggesting that pride can be accompanied by a full range of feelings toward the out-group. In this paper, we focus on a substantively interesting case of ingroup/ out-group attitudes – national pride and hostility towards immigrants. We explore the relationship in two fundamental ways: first by examining the prejudice associated with various dimensions of pride, and second by embedding these relationships in a comprehensive model of prejudice. We find that national pride is most validly measured with two dimensions – patriotism and nationalism – two dimensions that have very different relationships with prejudice. While nationalists have a strong predilection for hostility towards immigrants, patriots show no more prejudice than does the average citizen.Item Negotiating National Identity for Asian Americans During COVID-19(2023) Nguyen, KatieThe Asian American identity continually shifts in the United States as stereotypes and immigration policies continually reshaped how this community was viewed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, fearmongering by public figures amplified attacks on Asians as the source of the virus. More precisely, the racism generated by the COVID-19 pandemic increasingly targets the Asian American community through verbal and physical attacks in both online and real-life spaces. Due to this anti-Asian sentiment, there are more discussions of racial-ethnic identity in sociology and psychology, yet there is a lack of research examining the American national identity among Asian Americans. The purpose of this thesis is to understand how Asian Americans view their roles in the United States. A narrative literature review was conducted using existing data on responses to racist experiences before and during the COVID pandemic. With self-verification theory, a social theory that proposes that people only seek out interactions with others who confirm their own self views, as a tool, Asian Americans and others who have witnessed this racial group’s oppression can better understand the complexities of the American national identity. Results for this literature review reveal that the varying responses to COVID-19-related racism bring national identity into the conversation for Asian Americans. The results of this study will help both Asian Americans and psychology researchers better understand the Asian American identity and of what it is comprised.Item SAGAR: South Asia Graduate Research Journal, Volume 17(2007) University of Texas at Austin; Chakrabarti, Ishan; Fifield, Justin; Curtiss, Cory; Kornberg, Dana; McCarter, Elliott; Page-Lippsmeyer, Kathryn; Pallardy, Jacqueline; Patil, Urmila; Sample, Sanvita; Sutton, KeelyItem The Works of Ivan Bilibin and the Creation of a Russian “Third Space”: The Exploration of Cultural Identity through Illustration(2020) Sipp, Tabitha; Garza, ThomasThis thesis seeks examines how the illustrations of fin-de-siècle Russian artist Ivan Bilibin creates a new sphere of cultural representation for imperial Russia, through his reimaginations of Russian fairytales. Through a close reading of illustrations depicting scenes from the folkloric tales “Tsarevich Ivan, the Firebird, and the Gray Wolf” (1989), “Vasilisa the Beautiful” (1900), “The Tale of Tsar Saltan” (1905), and “The Tale of the Golden Cockerel” (1907), I describe how Bilibin creates an artistic, cultural, and political “third sphere” which reflects an authentic identity unique to the Russian nation. This “third sphere” is a culturally intermediate space which situates Russia astride the traditional East-West sociocultural dichotomy in ways that both set it apart and allow it to draw inspiration from its neighbors to either side. To achieve this, I inspect Bilibin’s works through three theoretical lenses: Art Nouveau, Russian folk art, and Orientalism.
