Seminar
A Global History of Nations and Nationalism(s)
Deniz Kilincoglu
Comments
Nationalism has shaped individual and collective self-identification and self-construction in recent history more than any other ideology. Despite its episodic retreats from the focus of scholarship and journalism, it has remained the dominant worldview of modernity. It frames our sociopolitical common sense, as it has successfully shaped the global sociopolitical system. We simply take it for granted that everyone belongs to a nation, and the world is structured in an ‘inter-national’ system, where nations are represented by their states. This course offers a global historical exploration of this complex social, political, economic, and highly personal phenomenon. We will begin by examining various definitions of and theories about nationalism and nationhood. Then we will delve into multiple factors that have shaped national ideologies and the experiences of nationhood, from language and religion to capitalism and colonialism. This investigation will include interactions between national belonging and other dimensions of our intersectional identities, such as gender and class. Through engagement with case studies from different parts of the world, we will develop a richer understanding of the human experience of nationalism in its highly diverse forms. Finally, we will engage in an open, exploratory discussion about our world’s future with or without nations, nationalism, and the nation-state. close
