English, comment: This seminar paper examines the use of symbolism
in the process of Scottish Devolution in the late 20th and early
21st century. After an introduction to Scottish symbols and their
history the paper focuses on the use of those during the reopening
of the Scottish Parliament in 1999, that of the new parliament
building in 2004 and the use of symbolic allusions there. The
seminar paper finishes off with an attempt to explain and define
the importance of symbols in the Scottish Devolution., abstract:
Devolution has been the major political development in Scotland of
the last decade. The events leading up to it and the actual process
itself have been strongly underlined through the use of old symbols
and the creation of new ones. This seminar paper deals with those
symbols: it will look at symbols in the awakening of a new Scottish
identity, will consider the choice of buildings for a new
Parliament and most importantly look at the opening of the Scottish
Parliament in 1999 and 2004. The new Scottish Parliament itself is
a place of strong symbolic content- the reason why this seminar
paper will focus on it as well. Finally the paper will try to give
an explanation for the importance and wide use of symbols in the
process of Devolution in Scotland, showing how a modern Scottish
identity is connected to the points described above.
