<P>Dear All,</P>
<P>Should some social analysts be interested to probe further into
the current background behind the present crisis for the Danish society,
they may gainlfully get more insight into the role of the mass media in
alienating the nation into two 'blocks of culture/religion' discourse by
going through Rikke Andreassen's PhD- thesis, perhaps one
of the most recent "data-base" on news-media rhetoric
on Muslims and Islam in Denmark, covering both the public service and
commercial media for the last 30 years.</P>
<P>The gest of her thesis, as I understand, is that the way the Danish mass
media construct the social realties on the dimension of gender, race, nation
or sexual orientation are integrally related to a construction af
self-identity as a nation and people, the Danes and Denmark. Other social
scientists have called the tendency "Banale Nationalisme".</P>
