“…What Elias explains here in relation to the drag-effect has similarities to Anderson's (1991) conception of nations as imagined communities that survive in the minds of the people partly due to having continuity with a nation's past achievements. Sport, like war, as George Orwell famously alluded, helps to maintain this continuity (Maguire, Poulton and Possamai 1999).…”

In this paper Norbert Elias's (1991) concept of the 'drag-effect' is argued to be important for exploring the complexities of the relationship between national identity and sport. Elias's distinct sociological perspective is briefly outlined before the importance of Elias's drag-effect is considered alongside other much more popular concepts commonly used in the study of nationalism and sport. The concept of the drag-effect is then applied to help make sense of the relationship between contemporary English national identity and sport, using specific examples from the sport of association football. Future researchers are encouraged to make greater use of Elias's drag-effect for studying the complex relationships between other national identities and sports. Introduction: The sociological perspective of Norbert EliasElias's figurational or process sociological approach focused specifically on "how human beings and societies interconnect and develop" (Smith 2001, 1). Elias (1978, 15) contended that, "people make up webs of interdependence or figurations of many kinds, characterized by power balances of many sorts." These figurations are fluid and ever changing depending on the dynamics of the relationships people form and the situational context within which they exist. Elias (1978, 74) created what he termed 'game models' to help explain how power pervades in all human relationships.

Zusammenfassung: transnationale Öffentlichkeiten werden als Räume der Verdichtung von öffentlicher, medial vermittelter politischer Kommunikation begriffen, die den nationalen Bezugsraum übersteigen. Der Überblick über die vorliegende empirische forschungsliteratur integriert bisher unverbundene Perspektiven auf Öffentlichkeit, indem er fünf verschiedene potentielle triebkräfte der transnationalisierung von Öffentlichkeit in den Blick nimmt: (1) transnationale Medien in Europa, (2) verschiedene Akteursgruppen als sprecher einer europäischen Öffentlich-keit, (3) die Europäisierung nationaler Mediendebatten, (4) die Ausprägung europäischer Medienevents und (5) die Entstehung europäisierter Medien- und Bürgerpublika. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich durchgängig das Muster einer mehrfachen segmentierung transnationaler Öffentlichkeit. Aus einem solchen zugang ergeben sich forschungsperspektiven, die die transnationalisierung von Öffentlichkeit als einen multidimensionalen, langfristig-strukturellen und mehrfach segmentierten Prozess sichtbar machen, der in national geprägten politischen Diskurskulturen gründet. Schlüsselwörter: transnationalisierung · Europäische Öffentlichkeit · Europäische union · Politische Kommunikation · MedieneventsAbstract: Transnational public spheres are defined as spaces of thickened public, mediated political communication that extend beyond the national territory. synthesizing the existing empirical literature, the emergence of transnational public spheres in Europe is assessed by looking at five potential driving forces of transnationalization: (1) transnational media in Europe, (2) different groups of actors as speakers in a Europeanized public sphere, (3) the Europeanization of national media debates, (4) the development of European media events, and (5) the emergence of Europeanized audiences and publics. Results show a recurring pattern of a multi-dimensional segmentation of the transnational public sphere. In conclusion, research perspectives are developed that focus on the transnationalization of public spheres as a multidimensional, long-term, structural and segmented process that is rooted in nationally circumscribed political discourse cultures.
