Riassunto

The Bicentenary of Australia, the 50th National Day of the People's Republic of China, holiday celebrations among the highlanders of Ethiopia, four decades of transformed celebrations on Kuwait's National Day, the rhetoric of national in Singapore's National Day, National Days through the history and geography of Spain, an iconology of the Republic of Turkey, the search for holidays in Ukraine, and Martin Luther King Day in the US are among the celebrations and topics explored by communications scholars, most from the country they discuss. The underlying argument is that unless and until nations and their citizens are aware of the role of communication in their survival both internally and externally, the ignorance can put them at risk.
