Originally the term was used to denote the response of church officials to political opponents - i.e. apologetics in treating the religious ideas and secular interests of religious institutions - in situations burdened by the culture war.

It proceeds from the previous definition that in the atmosphere of the culture war some distinctions are essentially obscured i.e. those that are of decisive importance for the consensual solution of the conflicts, for example, distinguishing between the secular and the religious, civil and state, political and non-political, (anti)religious and non-religious issues, problems, and competences.

Thus, the popular news is not political only because it favours certain views more than others, and certain spheres of reality more than others, but also because it constructs some cultural constellations as natural while placing others outside the common-sense.

It appears mainly as an assortment of all 'previous types of racism' that vary depending on the specific circumstances (place, time, tradition, culture, religious and political circumstances, various personal troubles of the author, the metabolism of a specific author).

Mostly not to prove the 'lesser value' of others, but - this concept dominated the territory of former Yugoslavia towards the end of the eighties - to prove the (self)threat to some 'entity', 'identity', or some social or political group (nation, culture, state, religion or tradition).

the concept of nationality shall not be confined to citizenship or lack thereof but shall in particular include membership of a group determined by its cultural, ethnic, or linguistic identity, common geographical or political origins or its relationship with the population of another State;

The writings and the discourse on minorities, immigrants and refugees have wider social, political and cultural functions as they signify one's belonging to a dominant group as well as the internal interaction of this group on the one hand, and the exclusion of the minorities and all those different on the other (Van Dijk, 1992:88).

Such an understanding of the political stems from the assumption that there exists some unproblematic national subject, that 'we' all belong to the same 'culture', the same value system, that basically we all have the same interests in society and an equal share of power that becomes institutionalized in parliament through elections.

It is not a typical women's magazine intended for a family-type woman. Its diverse content, including political and socially critical issues, trends, culture, travel and the like, makes it interesting for both sexes. Yet women appear on virtually every page - young, beautiful, seductive, slim, trim, and above all, fashionably dressed women.

In simple words, the neoconservativism of this environment was the foundation onto which were 'planted' various anti-political discourses that range from 'managerial revolution' (which is at any rate a product of the neo-conservative line of reasoning) to various kinds of radicalism, new nationalism, chauvinism, cultural racism and, of course, proverbial machismo and sexism.

The Nightwatch column in fact does not open 'as is usual', say with murders, accidents, robberies and rapes, but with all-embracing comments on outstanding political, cultural, social and other events and phenomena, which are - this is probably a relic of the traditional understanding of the Nightwatch type of columns (continuity) - artificially supplemented with the telegraphic presentation of police crime reports.

The Magnus section of the Škuc Forumwas constituted, along with the gay scene, as a part of the then alternative culture and new social movements, which was a course of events not typical of global gay and lesbian movements. As Nataša Velikonja (1999) observed, the usual course of events in western metropolises was first the concentration of the gay and lesbian population followed by the formation of a critical mass and finally by political, social and cultural upgrading.
