This document discusses national identity and how it is represented and formed. It explores how imagined communities are invented through shared symbols and experiences, even though most people in a nation will never meet. National identity is represented through sporting narratives, icons, and events which can bring people together but also divide them at times. Examples discussed include representations of Scotland, Don Bradman's role in Australian identity, and Cathy Freeman's representation of Aboriginal people. The politics around national identity and how it is mediated are complex.
