Szabolcs Pogonyi: Understanding neo-nationalism: theories, concepts and methodologies Fall 2017, Elective course, 2 CEU Credits Course description The main objective of this course is to introduce students into the state of art scholarship and debates in the study of nationalism, and help them to critically engage with and think of contemporary neo-nationalism and populist nationalism. The course aims at familiarizing students with key concepts and theories as well as main methodological approaches in nationalism studies. A special emphasis will be given to the applicability and limits of classical nationalism theories and methodologies in the analysis of contemporary nationalist movements. Throughout the course, we will test the relevant interdisciplinary methodologies through comparative analyses and case studies. In particular, the course will draw on literature from sociology, political science, history, international relations, gender studies, and anthropology, offering a critical and interdisciplinary approach to the study of nationalism. The course will start with a short discussion on contemporary nationalism. We will explore why nationalism is still an important moving force in contemporary politics and why its scholarly study is still relevant. After the introduction, we well go on to explore the literature on contemporary populist nationalism. We will investigate if and to what extent populist politics can be considered as a novel form of nationalism. Then we will overview the classical nationalism debates, and discuss to what extent the main explanatory framework in nationalism studies (modernism, constructivism, primordialism, ethno-symbolism, cognitive approaches) are relevant to the study of contemporary nationalist politics. More specifically, we will look into the causes and political implications of different types of populist nationalism as well as neo-nationalist mobilization strategies and discourses. Throughout these classes, we will explore the most important research methodologies in the study of nationalism, and their relevance to research on contemporary forms of populist nationalism. In the second part of the course, we will investigate the intersection of gender studies and nationalism, international relations and nationalism, and anthropology and nationalism. These topics will be covered with the help of three guest speakers who will present their recent research. The last class is reserved for student presentations. Requirements Students registered for this course are expected to attend classes and participate in in- class discussions. All students must read all the readings, and present one of the readings. In-class presentations should sum up and critically analyze the argument of the assigned readings. Presentations are expected to contextualize ideas by drawing on literature not listed in the syllabus, and students are encouraged to assess the implications of the presented theories through relevant case studies. In addition, students are also expected to present their book review in the last session. In these presentations, students are expected to contextualize and critically engage with the book they present. Students are to write an extended review essay (4,000 words) on a recent book related to the course. Possible titles will be suggested, but students are also welcome to recommend monographs for review. These review essays should aim for a publishable quality; if this requirement is met, instructors will provide assistance for seeking out potential journals.

    Re-Branding a Nation Online: Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism

    Re-Branding a Nation Online Re-Branding a Nation Online Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism Magdalena Kania-Lundholm Dissertation presented at Uppsala University to be publicly examined in Sal IX, Universitets- huset, Uppsala, Friday, October 26, 2012 at 10:15 for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. The examination will be conducted in English. Abstract Kania-Lundholm, M. 2012. Re-Branding A Nation Online: Discourses on Polish Nationalism and Patriotism. Sociologiska institutionen. 258 pp. Uppsala. ISBN 978-91-506-2302-4. The aim of this dissertation is two-fold. First, the discussion seeks to understand the concepts of nationalism and patriotism and how they relate to one another. In respect to the more criti- cal literature concerning nationalism, it asks whether these two concepts are as different as is sometimes assumed. Furthermore, by problematizing nation-branding as an “updated” form of nationalism, it seeks to understand whether we are facing the possible emergence of a new type of nationalism. Second, the study endeavors to discursively analyze the ”bottom-up” processes of national reproduction and re-definition in an online, post-socialist context through an empirical examination of the online debate and polemic about the new Polish patriotism. The dissertation argues that approaching nationalism as a broad phenomenon and ideology which operates discursively is helpful for understanding patriotism as an element of the na- tionalist rhetoric that can be employed to study national unity, sameness, and difference. Emphasizing patriotism within the Central European context as neither an alternative to nor as a type of nationalism may make it possible to explain the popularity and continuous endur- ance of nationalism and of practices of national identification in different and changing con- texts.

    Varieties of American Popular Nationalism.” American Sociological Review 81(5):949-980

    Bonikowski, Bart, and Paul DiMaggio. 2016. “Varieties of American Popular Nationalism.” American Sociological Review 81(5):949-980. Publisher’s version: http://asr.sagepub.com/content/81/5/949 Varieties of American Popular Nationalism Bart Bonikowski Harvard University Paul DiMaggio New York University Abstract Despite the relevance of nationalism for politics and intergroup relations, sociologists have devoted surprisingly little attention to the phenomenon in the United States, and historians and political psychologists who do study the United States have limited their focus to specific forms of nationalist sentiment: ethnocultural or civic nationalism, patriotism, or national pride. This article innovates, first, by examining an unusually broad set of measures (from the 2004 GSS) tapping national identification, ethnocultural and civic criteria for national membership, domain- specific national pride, and invidious comparisons to other nations, thus providing a fuller depiction of Americans’ national self-understanding. Second, we use latent class analysis to explore heterogeneity, partitioning the sample into classes characterized by distinctive patterns of attitudes. Conventional distinctions between ethnocultural and civic nationalism describe just about half of the U.S. population and do not account for the unexpectedly low levels of national pride found among respondents who hold restrictive definitions of American nationhood. A subset of primarily younger and well-educated Americans lacks any strong form of patriotic sentiment; a larger class, primarily older and less well educated, embraces every form of nationalist sentiment. Controlling for sociodemographic characteristics and partisan identification, these classes vary significantly in attitudes toward ethnic minorities, immigration, and national sovereignty. Finally, using comparable data from 1996 and 2012, we find structural continuity and distributional change in national sentiments over a period marked by terrorist attacks, war, economic crisis, and political contention.

  • Revisiting Global America: Nationalism in History and Politics

    Revisiting Global America: Nationalism in History and Politics

    Editorial USAbroad – Journal of American History and Politics. Vol. 2 (2019) https://doi.org/10.6092/issn.2611-2752/9073 ISSN 2611-2752 Revisiting Global America: Nationalism in History and Politics Published: March 1, 2019 Nationalism has been a defining feature of American history, politics, and international relations. Since its foundation, the United States has created an exceptional, expansive, and open image of itself as the “global nation” founded on a set of seemingly universal principles. The ways Americans have thought about their country have been a tremendous force for overseas expansion and an irresistible attraction for many outsiders. However, despite the success of this model of global, multiracial and multi-ethnic America, or possibly because of it, recent but not unprecedented nationalistic trends have contributed to dispute, contest or even reject its very tenets. The topic has also taken on ur- gency at the historiographical level. Scholars have inevitably looked with renewed interest into US nationalism and its practical, policy manifestations since 9/11. In the last few years, however, the de- bate has become even more intense, with a shift from explaining outcomes to questioning the nature of American identity and patriotism. The seismic waves produced by the last presidential election eventually reached nationalism studies, reinforcing a tendency that had started after the election of Obama: ethnicity, religion, and above all race were brought back as crucial elements in the analysis of the American national community and provided a tool to deconstruct the alternative visions of belonging that find space in the current political and public debate. At the same time, nationalism per se is being refashioned.
  • Nationalism and International Order

    Nationalism and International Order

    Nationalism and International Order Dr Jaakko Heiskanen Department of Politics and international Studies University of Cambridge MPhil Course Guide for 2021-2022 Course Description The demise of the nation-state and the disappearance of nationalism have been predicted on many occasions, yet they stubbornly refuse to fade away. If anything, the last decade has witnessed an intensification of nationalist rhetoric and a recentring of the nation-state in international politics through practices such as nation-state wall-building and national lockdowns. This course explores the past, present, and possible futures of nationalism and the nation-state from the vantage point of international order. By the end of the course, students will have acquired an excellent understanding of the historical origins and development of nationalism as well as the analytical tools needed to think and write critically about contemporary nationalism. The course is organised into seven seminars of 90-120 minutes. Seminar 1 provides an introduction to the study of nationalism and international order. The remaining six seminars are then loosely clustered into three thematically related pairings. Seminars 2 and 3 are concerned with the historical origins of nationalism and the rise of the nation-state, mainly in the European context. Seminars 4 and 5 shift the focus to the global imperial framework within which the European system of nation- states was embedded and examine the tangled relationship between nationalism, empire, and race from the nineteenth century to the present day. Seminars 6 and 7 consider the future of nationalism and international order by engaging with contemporary debates about globalisation and populism.

    Everyday Nationalism in Unsettled Times: in Search of Normality During Pandemic

    Nationalities Papers (2020), 1–25 doi:10.1017/nps.2020.40 SPECIAL ISSUE ARTICLE Everyday Nationalism in Unsettled Times: In Search of Normality during Pandemic J. Paul Goode,1* David R. Stroup2 and Elizaveta Gaufman3 1University of Bath, Bath, UK, 2University of Manchester, Manchester, UK and 3University of Groningen, Groningen, NL *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract Pandemics and other crisis situations result in unsettled times, or ontologically insecure moments when social and political institutions are in flux. During such crises, the ordinary and unnoticed routines that structure everyday life are thrust into the spotlight as people struggle to maintain or recreate a sense of normalcy. Drawing on a range of cases including China, Russia, the UK, and USA, we examine three categories of everyday practice during the COVID-19 pandemic that respond to disruptions in daily routines and seek a return to national normality: performing national solidarities and exclusions by wearing face masks; consuming the nation in the form of panic buying and conspiracy theories; and enforcing foreign policies through social media and embodiment. This analysis thus breaks with existing works on everyday nationalism and banal nationalism that typically focus on pervasively unnoticed forms of nationalism during settled times, and it challenges approaches to contentious politics that predict protest mobilization for change rather than restoration of the status quo ante. In highlighting the ways that unsettled times disrupt domestic

Abstract This thesis uses Barthes’ Mythologies as a framework to examine the ways in which the Canadian nation has been mythologized, exploring how this mythologization affects our sense of national identity. Because, as Barthes says, the ultimate goal of myth is to transform history into nature, it is necessary to delve into Canada’s past in order to understand when, why, and how it has become the nation it is today. This will involve tracing some key aspects of Canadian history, society, and pop culture from Canada’s earliest days to current times to uncover the “true origins” of the naturalized, taken-for-granted elements of our identity.
