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

"Examining the relationship between middle- and planter-class white women who supported the Confederacy, this book demonstrates that elite and middle-class white Southern women--active at home and abroad--played an integral role in the construction of Confederate nationalism as both actors and symbols, and it traces the impact of and the memories surrounding these women's wartime activism into the twentieth century"--

Abstract

The concept of the Rus' Land (russkaia zemlia) became and remained an historical myth of modern Russian nationalism as the equivalent of "Russia," but it was actually a political myth, manipulated to provide legitimacy. Its meaning was dynastic--territories ruled by a member of the Riurikid/Volodimerovich princely clan. This book traces the history of its use from the tenth to the seventeenth century, outlining its changing religious (pagan to Christian) and geographic elements (from the Dnieper River valley in Ukraine in Kievan Rus' to Muscovy in Russia) and considers alternative "land" concepts which failed to rise to the ideological heights of the Rus' Land. Although the Rus' Land was never an ethnic or national concept, and never expanded its appeal beyond an elite lay and clerical audience, understanding its evolution sheds light upon the cultural and intellectual history of the medieval and early modern East Slavs.

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.
