"Global forces are eroding the ability of states to exert sovereign control over their populations, territories, and borders. Yet when dominated subjects across the world dream of freedom, they continue to conceive of it in sovereign terms. Sovereign freedom haunts the imagination of oppressed ethnic minorities, popular masses ruled by foreign powers or homegrown tyrants, indigenous peoples, and individuals chafing under customary or governmental restrictions. On Sovereignty and Other Political Delusions draws on political theory and on two case studies -- the encounter between Anglo-American settlers and Native American tribes, and the search for Jewish sovereignty in Palestine -- to probe the allure of the idea of sovereign freedom and its self-defeating logic. It concludes by shifting its sights from political to economic sovereign power and by pursuing intimations of non-sovereign freedom in the contemporary age."--

Wie veralltäglichen die populären Kulturen Nationales und Nationalismus? Wie durchdringen sich Unterhaltung, Vergnügung und das Nationale im Alltag und welche Bedeutungsverschiebungen, Resonanzräume und Medienpraxen entstehen so? In sechzehn Beiträgen durchdringt dieser Tagungsband das oft mythisch-vage und emotionale Verhältnis von Populärkultur und Nationalem mit konkreten Fallstudien. Der Blick liegt auf der herausragenden Rolle der Unterhaltungs- und Vergnügungskulturen als Schnittstelle zwischen nationalen Makropolitiken und den (vor-)politischen Alltagspraxen breiter Bevölkerungsteile. Theoretische Überlegungen zu Populärkultur, Nation und Nationalismus bilden den Rahmen für diesen Zugang, der zugleich einen Überblick über aktuelle empirisch-kulturwissenschaftliche und europäisch-ethnologische Positionen zum Thema bietet.

Domestic sovereignty (the right of a government not to be resisted by its people) and international sovereignty (the moral immunity from outside intervention) have both been eroded in recent years, but the former to a much greater extent than the latter. An oppressed people's right to fight for liberal democratic reforms in their own country is treated as axiomatic, as the international responses to the revolutions in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya illustrate. But there is a reluctance to accept that foreign intervention is always justified in the same circumstances. Ned Dobos assesses the moral cogency of this double standard and asks whether intervention can be consistently and coherently opposed given our attitudes towards other kinds of political violence. His thought-provoking book will interest a wide range of readers in political philosophy and international relations.

"Traces the historical relationships between colonialism and 1968 activism, examining both the transnational networks that emerged and the new human and immigrants' rights initiatives that followed in their wake, and reveals 1968 not merely as a flashpoint in the history of left-wing protest but as a turning point in the history of decolonization"-- Provided by publisher.
