TL;DR: This paper examined English newspaper coverage of two British events held in 2012 (the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic Games) and argued that representations of Britain oscillated between lamentations for an English/British past and a present that was portrayed as both confident and progressive, was beset by latent anxieties.
Abstract: Drawing upon Littler and Naidoo's ‘white past, multicultural present’ alignment, this article examines English newspaper coverage of two ‘British’ events held in 2012 (the Diamond Jubilee and the London Olympic Games). In light of recent work on English nationalism, national identity and multiculturalism, this article argues that representations of Britain oscillated between lamentations for an English/British past – marred by decline – and a present that, while being portrayed as both confident and progressive, was beset by latent anxieties. In doing so, ‘past’ reflections of England/Britain were presented as a ‘safe’ and legitimate source of belonging that had subsequently been lost and undermined amidst the diversity of the ‘present’. As a result, feelings of discontent, anxiety and nostalgia were dialectically constructed alongside ‘traditional’ understandings of England/Britain. Indeed, this draws attention to the ways in which particular ‘versions’ of the past are engaged with and the impact that this can have on discussions related to multiculturalism and the multiethnic history of England/Britain.

TL;DR: This article examined global English-language newspaper coverage of the death of David Bowie and found that the notion of celebrity is discursively re-produced and configured through a public face that is defined, maintained and shaped via media reports and public responses that aim to know and reflect upon celebrity.
Abstract: This paper examines global English-language newspaper coverage of the death of David Bowie Drawing upon the concept of reification, it is argued that the notion of celebrity is discursively (re)produced and configured through a ‘public face’ that is defined, maintained and shaped via media reports and public responses that aim to know and reflect upon celebrity The findings highlight how Bowie’s reification was supported by discourses that represented him as an observable, reified form Here, Bowie’s ‘reality’, that is, his authentic/veridical self, was obscured behind a facade of mediation, interpretation and representation that debated and decided his ‘authenticity’ as a cultural icon Such debates, however, were engagements with a reified image, enveloped in continual (re)interpretation As a result, Bowie’s reification was grounded in a polysemous process that allowed numerous versions of ‘himself’ to be aesthetically reimagined, reinvented and repeated
