As a consequence, research aims are required to be framed within the mainstream ideology and group efforts are more likely to be observed. The chain of communication between the concept's progenitors and its present-day users is now so long and so fragmentary that our usage may bear little or no relation to the discourse that Gleason described. The major nationwide coordination bodies are the Swiss University Conference (CUS), a cooperative common agency of the Confederation, the cantons and the universities, and the Council for Universities of Applied Sciences (Conseil UAS) (see OECD, 2003).

Until not so long ago, European countries did not struggle with the question “who are we,” or search for a bond to bind them together. Nevertheless, academic collaboration within the region itself is still comparatively rare and may be a focus in the future agenda. Its myths attribute the creation of Japan and the origins of the Japanese people and its Imperial dynasty to the kami. Alsina Keith, Victòria The aim of this article is to summarize the genealogy of the expression and to discuss its current heuristic value. Since then our own use of it has proliferated uncontrollably, and the original confusion identified by Gleason has been compounded by many others. Here, again, Shinto is a striking (if particularized) example. what is “national identity”?
Nowadays, music composed just a few years after Strauss' remarkable statement, whether serial, electronic, or chance, is considered classic.

The association of Shinto and the state helped create a myth of racial superiority which legitimated Japan's colonization of Taiwan and Korea, involved the suppression of other religions and played a major part in Japan's fascism and war mongering in the first half of the twentieth century.
