Anna Roosvall & Inka Salovaara-Moring (eds.) The nation is one of the most resilient concepts in our understanding of the world and its societies. Politics, sports and cultural events, in news as well as in fiction, are largely structured by the national logic. Internationalism – be it in representation, production or consumption – does not challenge the privileged position of the nation. Globalising processes do offer an alternative to the primacy of the nation, but have so far been unable to overcome its dominance. The nation’s resilience is, in part, due to its continuing relevance: ontologically, it offers a sense of territorial stability and security while epistemologically it can supply a sense of familiarity and order in the global landscape. This volume provides cutting edge analysis of old and new architectures of the nation and its mediated presence in everyday life. In an age of alleged globalisation, nations and nation-states have been claimed to be out-dated. However, the proclamation of the end of the nation (-state) Inka Salovaara-Moring (eds.) Anna Roosvall & has been premature. Eschewing fashionable obituaries for media, geography and the nation, leading media scholars explore the complex ideological and spatial changes in contemporary understandings of the nation. The nation can be seen as a nodal point of media discourse. Hence the power, the politics and the poetics of the nation will be the subject of this book.

The Nation Rejuvenated for the Global Condition 237 The Authors 255 Acknowledgements In considering writing, Samuel Johnson once described the two most engaging powers of an author as the ability to make new things familiar and familiar things new. Writing about the nation challenges an author in both these senses. Exploring the meaning of the nation is a continual balancing act; juggling the conflicting needs for intimacy, independence and academic detachment. To meet this challenge, one has to explore the intimacy a nation brings to its subjects whilst remembering the revulsion this intimacy can cause in those excluded by it. The Janus-faced characteristic of the nation was the starting point for this book. Academic edited volumes are often said to be written by friends and col- leagues who wanted to work together. This is said in a disapproving manner, as if the enjoyment of exploring things in concert would lessen its academic worth. We did have the privilege to work with people we like, but who are also widely respected academics in their fields due to the fact that they have important things to say and write about the subject. So, as we Nordics often say, ‘it is not the ship so much as the skilful sailing that assures the prosper- ous voyage.’ In addition to the deepest appreciation to the contributors, we would also like to thank the Ahlström-Terserus Foundation at Stockholm Uni- versity and Letterstedtska föreningen for funding this project. Our grati- tude goes to Ulla Carlsson for her valuable support to this book, but also for her constant work at Nordicom for the Nordic academic com- munity. A special expression of gratitude goes to our language checker, Stephen Bennett, and his deep well of patience with our eccentricities. We dedicate this book to the memory of the late Professor Jan Ekecrantz, a mentor to us both when we were young researchers on different sides of the Baltic Sea. Seas often constitute divisions between nations, but, as pointed out by Jan Ekecrantz in his inaugural lecture at Stockholm University, they have also worked as vehicles of globalisation. Jan knew much about the sea, ships and sailing and had an instinctive understanding of its essentiality in grasping what life is about. ‘It is not the goals we set, or the ports in which we rest, it 7 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS is the journey itself’, he used to say. On different sides of the North Sea, as we are now, we conclude our work on a book that tries to capture the journeys of the national and the global, and their intersections. Örebro and Oxford, April 2010 Anna Roosvall Inka Salovaara-Moring 8 Introduction Anna Roosvall & Inka Salovaara-Moring The nation is one of the most resilient concepts in our understanding of the world and its societies. It can be seen as a nodal point of media discourse; an ‘empty’ but privileged centre around which discourse is organised (Phillips and Jörgensen 2002: 26-28; Laclau and Mouffe 1985/2001). Politics, sports and cultural events, in news as well as in fiction, are largely structured by the national logic. Internationalism – be it in representation, production or consumption – does not challenge the privileged position of the nation, but adds another level to the equation (Beck 2006: 123).1 Globalising processes do offer an alternative to the primacy of the nation, but have so far been unable to overcome its dominance. The nation’s resilience is, in part, due to its continuing relevance: ontologically, it offers a sense of territorial stability and security while epistemologically it can supply a sense of familiarity and order in the global landscape. The nation is often described as an imagined community, thus media is crucial for the nation to be ‘imagined into being’ and embraced by large populations (Anderson 1983; Frosch and Wolfsfeld 2007; Chatterjee 1996). One could eas- ily claim that for the media the nation has been and remains to be almost as important, even though it is constantly challenged in times of alleged globalisa- tion. In this book we argue that the nations’ roles in different geopolitical and media environments need to be revisited for three main reasons. Firstly, the nation as a crucial social category has been under-theorised in media studies of the global era. It has either been explicitly written out through terms such as ‘post-national’ or ‘de-nationalisation’, or has been forgotten/ ignored in discussions about glocalisation as well as in large parts of the more general globalisation paradigm. In the glocalisation trajectory the nation linguis- tically and, subsequently, conceptually disappears between the global and the local dimensions. A similar disappearance occurs in broader discussions about globalisation as something essentially new and different from previous times and geographies, for instance, as an increasing awareness of a world ‘where there are no “others”’ (Giddens 1991: 27). However appealing and desirable that idea might be, there are still national others, as well as national selves, and these divisions continue to organise everyday life. 9 ANNA ROOSVALL & INKA SALOVAARA-MORING Secondly, simultaneously and paradoxically, the nation has not been for- gotten in the structuring of empirical analyses. Rather it has been over-used as an often un-motivated and un-problematised unit of analysis; serving as an explanation of difference without an accompanying critical distance from the different roles it can play in varying geo-political settings and times. Moreover, this has been often acted out without considering alternative explanations, categorisations and spatialisations. The nation has thus served as a nodal point for both media studies and media discourse. This organisation of empirical data and analyses is generally recognised as methodological nationalism (Beck 2006; Calhoun 2007; Ekecrantz 2007) based on a ‘territorial trap’, and will be discussed and examined further in several chapters in this book. Thirdly, and following on from the above, at a time of powerful re-organi- sation of the space around us (spaces of nature, politics and different capital- isms) it is good to remind ourselves that all spheres of human activities create their own geographies.

  • History on the Crossroads of Nation-Building
    Paper from the Conference “Current Issues in European Cultural Studies”, organised by the Advanced Cultural Studies Institute of Sweden (ACSIS) in Norrköping 15-17 June 2011. Conference Proceedings published by Linköping University Electronic Press: http://www.ep.liu.se/ecp_home/index.en.aspx?issue=062. © The Author. Memory of the Past and Memory for the Future: History on the Crossroads of Nation-building Yuliya Yurchuk Södertörn University College / Stockholm University [email protected] The paper focuses on the nationalisation of history and changes in memory politics of Ukraine after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. The questions of history re-writing and re-evaluating is endemic to transitional societies. The very possibility to approach certain events is a direct consequence of freedom of speech that followed the disintegration of the socialist bloc. As a case study the paper scrutinizes new conceptualisations and interpretations of history of the WWII with a special focus on Ukrainian nationalist movements that acted in Western Ukraine in 1929-1956: the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and Ukrainian Insurgent Army. There have been constant attempts to place the heroic narrative about these movements into the core of a national history, yet this narrative failed to cross the invisible walls within Ukraine and the narrative purposed for the whole nation remains regional in its significance. The paper is to fill the gap in an existing debate and to show how complex the memory work is in the modern world. A lot of interferences on international, regional, and local levels make the representational take-over of a state-sanctioned view on history more difficult and complex.

  • From the Tito-Stalin Split to Yugoslavia's Finnish Connection: Neutralism Before Non-Alignment, 1948-1958
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: FROM THE TITO-STALIN SPLIT TO YUGOSLAVIA'S FINNISH CONNECTION: NEUTRALISM BEFORE NON-ALIGNMENT, 1948-1958. Rinna Elina Kullaa, Doctor of Philosophy 2008 Directed By: Professor John R. Lampe Department of History After the Second World War the European continent stood divided between two clearly defined and competing systems of government, economic and social progress. Historians have repeatedly analyzed the formation of the Soviet bloc in the east, the subsequent superpower confrontation, and the resulting rise of Euro-Atlantic interconnection in the west. This dissertation provides a new view of how two borderlands steered clear of absorption into the Soviet bloc. It addresses the foreign relations of Yugoslavia and Finland with the Soviet Union and with each other between 1948 and 1958. Narrated here are their separate yet comparable and, to some extent, coordinated contests with the Soviet Union. Ending the presumed partnership with the Soviet Union, the Tito-Stalin split of 1948 launched Yugoslavia on a search for an alternative foreign policy, one that previously began before the split and helped to provoke it. After the split that search turned to avoiding violent conflict with the Soviet Union while creating alternative international partnerships to help the Communist state to survive in difficult postwar conditions. Finnish-Soviet relations between 1944 and 1948 showed the Yugoslav Foreign Ministry that in order to avoid invasion, it would have to demonstrate a commitment to minimizing security risks to the Soviet Union along its European political border and to not interfering in the Soviet domination of domestic politics elsewhere in Eastern Europe.

Alex.” Only Stirlitz could figure out that he had been conferred the rank of the Hero of the Soviet Union. On February 8, 2003, Vladimir Putin awarded the Order for Merit to the Fatherland, Class III, to the actor Vyacheslav Tikhonov. It was Tikhonov’s 75th birthday. Tikhonov had enjoyed a long career on stage and in film, but no one was under any illusions for what role he was receiving this honor — the same one, in fact, for which he had received a medal as a Hero of Socialist Labor from the Soviet premier Leonid Brezhnev in 1982, which was already nine years after the fact. Tikhonov was synonymous with the role of Max Otto von Stirlitz — a.k.a.“Justas,” a.k.a. Maxim Maximovich Isaev, secret agent of Moscow Center — in the television series Seventeen Moments of Spring.

  • The Political in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Hunger & Fury: The Political in Bosnia and Herzegovina Jasmin Mujanović A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Re- quirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Political Science York University Toronto, ON May 2016 © Jasmin Mujanović, 2016 Abstract This text is an attempt to (re)approach the process of political and social transfor- mation in Bosnia-Herzegovina (BiH) over the past century and a half through the prism of popular agency. The primary research question of this dissertation asks why given nearly uni- formly catastrophic social indicators across virtually all socio-economic categories there are so few instances of overt popular dissatisfaction (e.g. protests and/or energetic voter turnout) with the prevailing political order in BiH? In addressing this question through an analysis that straddles political theory, international relations, and political economy literatures I focus on the role played by the specific local variant(s) of the nation-state form in essentially depoliti- cizing the majority of the population in this polity. My central argument is that rather than creating the conditions for rational-legal public administration and multi-party competition, the state in BiH has historically served to deny political agency to would-be citizens. The state in BiH has actively sought to eliminate civil society, in other words, and that therefore the de- fining political and social crises in contemporary BiH must be understood in the context of nearly two centuries of this particular and peculiar state (and nation) formation process. I ar- gue that the historic evolution of the BiH polity has been characterized by a form of elastic authoritarianism; the process of seemingly persistent ideological mutation contrasted by static political and economic patterns.
