    Der banale Internationalismus Internationale Wettkampfkultur und die Transformation nationaler Wir-Bilder und Wir-Ideale

    International competition culture and the transformation of national “we” imagery and “we” ideals This paper hypothesizes that international contests in sport and art promote national self-definitions based on world culture rather than on ideals concerned with cultural particularism. These new kinds of national self-images and self-ideals are closely connected with being successful within the frame of a shared international culture rather than expressing cultural uniqueness. The paper analyzes three different fields of international competition—sport, music, and cinema—and related contests like the Olympic Games, the Eurovision Song Contests, and the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards (Oscars).
