Abstract

After the First World War, Britain faced a number of challenges as it sought to adapt to domestic conditions of mass democracy whilst maintaining its position in the empire in the face of national independence movements. As politicians at home and abroad sought to legitimise their position, new efforts were made to conceptualise nationality and citizenship, with attempts to engage the public using mass media and greater emphasis on governing in the public interest. Brave New World reappraises the domestic and imperial history of Britain in the inter-war period, investigating how ‘nation building’ was given renewed impetus by the upheavals of the First World War. The essays in this collection address how new technologies and approaches to governance were used to forge new national identities both at home and in the empire, covering a wide range of issues from the representation of empire on film to the convergence of politics and ‘star culture’.

Abstract

El volumen hace alusión a las independencias iberoamericanas en el subtítulo porque son ellas las que marcan un hito en las visiones que las élites regionales lanzan sobre el pasado con vistas al futuro, pero en una operación que busca cimentar su poder en el presente. Ellas, las guerras de independencia y los procesos inmediatos que les siguen, son el punto de partida de la "historia nacional" y la relación de esa historia nueva con el pasado colonial será en muchos casos, como sabemos, materia prima de la disputa entre liberales y conservadores. Se trata de "estabilizar" el pasado, de "fijarlo" de una vez por todas de acuerdo con determinada posición al interior de la sociedad y del Estado.

Abstract

Este trabajo es un intento de bosquejar un análisis comparativo de ciertos complejos sociales especificos que, pese a haber atraído mucho la atención de ideólogos sociales políticos, no han sido hasta ahora investigados en forma completa y objetiva por estudiosos de las ciencias sociales. Este trabajo es el primer intento de resumir los resultados de una investigación desarrollada por el autor, con la cooperación de colaboradores y discípulos a lo largo de muchos años en Europa y Estados Unidos.

Abstract

Wer sich im frühneuzeitlichen Bern, in Königsberg, Dorpat oder Trient als "Deutscher" bezeichnete, verband damit keine herrschaftliche Zuordnung. Gemeint waren eher ethnisch-kulturelle Gemeinsamkeiten. Gerade der europäische Vergleich zeigt die Besonderheiten dieser "offen" deutschen Nationsbildung, die in der Frühen Neuzeit weit über den politischen Rahmen des Alten Reiches hinausgriff, ohne daraus staatliche Integrationsansprüche abzuleiten. Das Buch versammelt 15 Beiträge renommierter Wissenschaftler, die die Entwicklung der frühneuzeitlichen deutschen Nation in den europäischen Kontext stellen. Diskutiert werden Fragen der politischen Ordnung, der kulturellen Identität sowie des Austauschs mit den Nachbarn. Beiträge von Astrid Ackermann, Hans-Jürgen Bömelburg, Horst Carl, Meinrad von Engelberg, Daniel Fulda, Alfred Kohler, Dieter Langewiesche, Thomas Maissen, Michael North, Klaus Pietschmann, Alexander Schmidt, Georg Schmidt, Luise Schorn-Schütte, Siegrid Westphal, Joachim Whaley, Peter Wilson, Martin Wrede.

Abstract

"This book provides the most comprehensive study to date of political and social developments in Montenegro from the processes that led to the disintegration of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to Montenegro's eventful trajectory towards independence and, later, towards Euro-Atlantic integration. Kenneth Morrison draws upon an extensive range of primary and secondary sources to illuminate the key developments in Montenegro during three decades characterised by political, social and economic flux. Beginning with the 'happening of the people' in 1988 and concluding with a detailed analysis of political developments in the first decade since Montenegro gained its independence, the author addresses the themes of nationalism, identity, statehood and the party political dynamics in both the Montenegrin and the wider Southeast European context."--

Abstract

Nationalism in a nation-state reflects its emergent structural, cultural, and personal properties at a given time. In the politico-historical context of South Korea and the globe, the fruits of the 1968 Revolution in France could not reach Korean society under its military regime and exploitative economic structure. This continued to frustrate the grassroots and especially social actors in South Korea, which eventually brought about the June Struggle in 1987 and the 2016-2017 Candlelight Revolution. Calculated Nationalism in Contemporary South Korea sketches Korean grassroots' perception of their nation-state, national identities, and what they desire regarding the future direction of their nation-state. The grassroots have openly spoken out about their frustrations through political rallies and media. This book attempts to reflect the minds of Korean progressives regarding, in particular, the forcibly recruited Japanese military "comfort women," Abe's trade provocation against South Korea in 2019, reunification, the 2016-2017 Candlelight Revolution, National Flag-carriers' struggles, and bullying at work.

Abstract

Commissioned by the Qianlong emperor in 1751, the Qing Imperial Illustrations of Tributary Peoples ( Huang Qing zhigong tu 皇清職貢圖), is a captivating work of art and ideological statement of universal rule. Best understood as a cultural cartography of empire, the captivating artwork paired with ethnographic texts helps us to understand the complexity of Chinese diplomatic relations as well the ideological force behind them which was rooted in both dynastic history and the specifics of Qing rule.

Abstract

This wide-ranging contribution to the study of nationalism and the social history of music examines the relationship between choral societies and national mobilization in the nineteenth century. From Norway to the Basque country and from Wales to Bulgaria, this pioneering study explores and compares the ways choral societies influenced and reflected the development of national awareness under differing political and social circumstances. By the second half of the nineteenth century, organized communal singing became a primary leisure activity that attracted all layers of society. Though strongly patriotic in tone, choral societies borrowed from each other and relied heavily on prominent German or French models. This volume is the first to address both the national and transnational significance of choral singing. Contributors are: Carmen De Las Cuevas Hevia, Jan Dewilde, Tomáš Kavka, Anne Jorunn Kydland, Krisztina Lajosi, Joep Leerssen, Sophie-Anne Leterrier, Jane Mallinson, Tatjana Marković, Fiona M. Palmer, Karel Šima, Andreas Stynen, Dominique Vidaud, Ivanka Vlaeva, Jozef Vos, Gareth Williams, Hana Zimmerhaklová.
