本文探讨了北爱尔兰政治和身份认同的一个决定性方面：对公共空间，特别是城市公共空间的控制和利用。种族政治冲突通过对公共空间的争执不断地暴露出来。仪式事件在政治认同和群体凝聚力的发展中起着重要的作用。象征性的景观将通过主要群体的身份展示和他们通过抑制其他群体的展示来控制景观的能力来构建。这将通过对仪式和象征的频繁竞争而显露出来。本文着眼于仪式活动在贝尔法斯特市民空间中的作用，但特别询问它们在冲突转变中可能扮演的角色。1998年的协议提供了政治结构，规定了在经历了30年的暴力冲突后分享权力。与此同时，由于以前被边缘化的天主教社区内的政治团体要求在公共领域内得到承认，并通过改变以前占主导地位的新教和联合主义的身份表达方式来重新平衡公共空间，对公共空间的争执有所增加。论文最后指出，在“共享空间”中，一种跨越政治和种族分歧的新公民身份已经开始在贝尔法斯特发展起来，尽管整个城市地区的居住分歧有所增加，但这种身份认同可能会演变。
This paper explores one of the defining aspects of politics and identity in Northern Ireland: the control and utilization of public space, particularly urban public space. Ethnopolitical conflict consistently reveals itself through contestation over public space. The role of ritual events is important in the development of political identity and group cohesion. The symbolic landscape will be constructed through displays of identity by dominant groups and their ability to control that landscape by inhibiting displays by other groups. This will reveal itself through frequent contests over rituals and symbols. This paper looks at the role of ritual events in civic spaces in Belfast but particularly asks what role they might play in conflict transformation. The 1998 agreement offered political structures that provided for shared power after 30 years of violent conflict. At the same time, there was an increase in contestation over public space as political groups within the previously marginalized Catholic community demanded recognition within the public sphere and a rebalancing of the public space through changes to the previously dominant Protestant and Unionist expression of identity. The paper concludes by suggesting that in “shared space” a new civic identity that spans the political and ethnic divisions has started to develop in Belfast and that this might evolve despite an increased residential division throughout the urban area.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
