Abstract | The London 2012 Olympics represented to the socio cultural imagination of the nation, a seminal moment of not simply sporting excellence but of a national arrival, a coming together global showcase of British society and values. Embedded into this mass communicated display of a quintessential variety of British multiculturalism, interminably discussed at the time, was the national discourse of British ‘tolerance’, formative in shaping notions of national identity. Collectively characterised as ‘structures of feeling’, an ensemble of mutual social and expressive cultural relations operative in society (Williams , 1978; Williams 1981). |
