Bet ja tas nāk no "augšas", nevis pašas tautas, varbūt nav tik bezcerīgi. Vai tev šķiet, ka mosties jau ir par vēlu?
Manā mierinošo grāmatu plauktā ne pārāk sen nokļuva dažas Rodžera Skrūtona grāmatas, un tiešām mierina, sevišķi tas, kā viņš lieto jēdzienu "heritage". Mierinošo grāmatu plaukts, protams, daļēji ir pašapmānam, bet pavisam bez tā nevarētu.

It also comes from pašas tautas. From old friends, relatives and so on.

It's difficult, for me, to write or think about it coherently (see above rambling). There are so many factors at play. Furthermore, my perception could be warped or otherwise malfunctioning, and I can get carried away. Only sometimes you catch something - a small thing maybe - and it strikes you that it has meaning. For instance, we, three generations of us, sang that auld lang syne, and then later on the TV, you saw just a few pockets of people singing it in amongst a mass of incredulity by the banks of the Thames - those who didn't understand it or sing it could have been tourists, maybe of course, but not all. Other times you watch an old TV series steeped in another culture, or see an old photo - is this what Scruton is referring to when he says 'heritage'?

It would be good if we rediscovered aspects of that culture, and celebrated it - especially in those areas where the 'we' whose heritage it is are or are becoming a minority. It would be the most positive thing we could do.

Skrūtonam 'heritage' nav tikai konkrētās lietas un parādības vai to kopums, bet tas, ko tās simbolizē - Eiropas kultūras pamatvērtības.
Pāris ar medijiem nesaistīti zviedru puiši par saviem līdzekļiem (par saviem tāpēc, ka pareizie naudas dalītāji neapmaksā to, par kā pareizo ideoloģisko ievirzi nav droši) šogad uzņēma dokumentālo filmu "A Swedish Elephant", un filmas sākumā viņi jautā cilvēkiem ielās: "Kas ir zviedru kultūra?" Pat man kā nezviedrietei bija to neciešami skumji skatīties. Domāju, ka tu daudzas lietas šajā filmā atpazītu, vēsture un mentalitāte it kā cita kā britiem, bet pēdējo desmitgažu atprātotāji un to atstātās pēdas tik baisi līdzīgas.

Šodien ziņu straumē pamanīju bildītes ar the Lord Mayor of Sheffield, kura parastā poza esot tupus. Nu jā... tik traki vēl nav pat pie zviedriem :D
