SUMMARY:The Ernest Gellner Lecture 2021: Nationalism and the Crisis of Global Modernity
DESCRIPTION:The Ernest Gellner Lecture 2021 will be given by Prof. Prasenjit Duara on ‘Nationalism and the Crisis of Global Modernity’ on 5th April 2021 at 1100EST/1500UTC/1600 London (check this time in your city). It will be livestreamed on Facebook and YouTube; members and conference pass holders will also be able to join in on Zoom. \nAbstract\n“Whether or not there is a direct causal relationship\, nationalism is at the heart of all the crises in the modern world and becomes entangled in its effects. As the fundamental source of authority for all modes of governance in the world\, we are beholden to its capacity to resolve these cascading crises. I have long argued that its core confessional and anarchic constitutive form does not afford this capaciousness. It is plain to see this in how the WHO is being hampered in the present pandemic by powerful national interests. \n“I argue that the nation form is the ‘epistemic engine’ driving the globally circulatory and doxic Enlightenment ideal of the conquest of nature and perpetual growth that sustains the runaway technosphere. The cascading crises that we have already witnessed in this century – financial\, economic\, epidemic and climatological—are rooted significantly in this technosphere. At the same time\, we will have to find our way through and out of these forms to secure a sustainable planet. Drawing from a paradigm of ‘oceanic temporality’ to grasp counter-finalities generated by the epistemic engine I explore the interstitial spaces and counter-flows of social movements that are seeking to develop a post-Enlightenment and a planetary\, rather than a global\, cosmology.” \nAbout Prasenjit Duara\nPrasenjit Duara is the Oscar Tang Chair of East Asian Studies at Duke University. He was born and educated in India and received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University. He was previously Professor and Chair of the Dept of History and Chair of the Committee on Chinese Studies at the University of Chicago (1991-2008). Subsequently\, he became Raffles Professor of Humanities and Director\, Asia Research Institute at National University of Singapore (2008-2015). \nIn 1988\, he published Culture\, Power and the State: Rural North China\, 1900-1942 (Stanford Univ Press) which won the Fairbank Prize of the AHA and the Levenson Prize of the AAS\, USA. Among his other books are Rescuing History from the Nation (U Chicago 1995)\, Sovereignty and Authenticity: Manchukuo and the East Asian Modern (Rowman 2003) and most recently\, The Crisis of Global Modernity: Asian Traditions and a Sustainable Future (Cambridge 2014). He has edited Decolonization: Now and Then (Routledge\, 2004) and co-edited A Companion to Global Historical Thought with Viren Murthy and Andrew Sartori (John Wiley\, 2014). His work has been widely translated into Chinese\, Japanese\, Korean and the European languages. \nAbout the Ernest Gellner Lecture\nThe Ernest Gellner Lecture was established in 1996 to commemorate his enormous contributions to the field of nationalism studies and is sponsored by Nations and Nationalism. It traditionally takes place on the eve of the ASEN Conference. \n

SUMMARY:Nourishing the Nation: Food as National Identity in Catalonia
DESCRIPTION:Venetia Johannes sits down with Javier Carbonell to discuss her new book\, Nourishing the Nation: Food as National Identity in Catalonia. Join us on Facebook Live or YouTube Live from 1600UTC on 27th January. Check this time in your city. \nAbout Venetia\nDr Venetia Johannes is a post-doctoral research affiliate at the School of Anthropology and Museum Ethnography\, University of Oxford. She was co-editor of The Emergence of National Food: The Dynamics of Food and Nationalism (Bloomsbury\, 2019)\, and has published chapters and articles on Catalonia\, food\, nationalism\, and heritage. \nAbout the book\n“In the early twenty-first century\, nationalism has seen a surprising resurgence across the Western world. In the Catalan Autonomous Community in northeastern Spain\, this resurgence has been most apparent in widespread support for Catalonia’s pro-independence movement\, and the popular assertion of Catalan symbols\, culture and identity in everyday life. Nourishing the Nation provides an ethnographic account of the everyday experience of national identity in Catalonia\, using an essential\, everyday object of consumption: food. As a crucial element of Catalan cultural life\, a focus on food provides unique insight into the lived realities of Catalan nationalism\, and how Catalans experience and express their national identity today.”

SUMMARY:Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this event is available for members. \nCaroline Gray sits down with Javier Carbonell to discuss her new book\, Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain. Join us on Facebook Live or YouTube Live from 1730UTC on December 17th. Click here to check the time in your city. \nAbout Caroline\nLecturer in Politics and Spanish at Aston University. She specialises in the politics and culture of Spain\, focusing on nationalist movements and political decentralisation\, as well as the political consequences of the global financial crisis. Having studied Spanish literature as a Modern Languages undergraduate at the University of Oxford\, followed later by a PhD in Politics on nationalist movements in Spain\, she is particularly interested in how an interdisciplinary approach to the study of Spain can deepen our understanding of the country. \nAbout the book\nCaroline’s book\, Territorial Politics and the Party System in Spain\, is published by Routledge. \nAcross Western Europe\, the global financial crisis of 2008 and its aftermath not only brought economic havoc but also\, in turn\, intense political upheaval. Many of the political manifestations of the crisis seen in other Western and especially Southern European countries also hit Spain\, where challenger parties caused unprecedented parliamentary fragmentation\, resulting in four general elections in under four years from 2015 onwards. Yet Spain\, a decentralised state where extensive powers are devolved to 17 regions known as ‘autonomous communities’\, also stood out from its neighbours due to the importance of the territorial dimension of politics in shaping the political expression of the crisis. \nThis book explains how and why the territorial dimension of politics contributed to shaping party system continuity and change in Spain in the aftermath of the financial crisis\, with a particular focus on party behaviour. The territorial dimension encompasses the demands for ever greater autonomy or even sovereignty coming from certain parties within the historic regions of the Basque Country\, Catalonia and\, to a lesser extent\, Galicia. It also encompasses where these historic regions sit within the broader dynamics of intergovernmental relations across Spain’s 17 autonomous communities in total\, and how these dynamics contribute to shaping party strategies and behaviour in Spain. Such features became particularly salient in the aftermath of the financial crisis since this coincided with\, and indeed accelerated\, the rise of the independence movement in Catalonia. \nFollow Caroline on Twitter at @carolinemgray.

SUMMARY:The Struggle Over Borders: Cosmopolitanism and Communitarianism
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this event is available for members. \nPieter de Wilde\, Michael Zürn\, Ruud Koopmans & Oliver Strijbis – The Struggle Over Borders: Cosmopolitanism and Communitarianis \nAbout the authors\nPieter de Wilde is a professor in the Department of Sociology and Political Science at NTNU\, looking at political conflict over European integration and globalisation. Michael Zurn is Director of the Global Governance research unit at the WZB Berlin Social Science Centre and Professor of International Relations at the Free University Berlin. Ruud Koopmans is Director of the Migration\, Integration\, Transnationalization research unit at the WZB Berlin Social Science Centre. Oliver Strijbis is SNSF Assistant Professor at the University of Zurich. \nAbout the book\nTheir book\, The Struggle Over Borders: Cosmopolitanism and Communitarianism\, is published by Cambridge University Press. \nGlobalization has unleashed a torrent of questions and deepened political fault lines\, creating rifts between elites and mass publics and space for the rise of populism. Amid debates about open and closed visions of society\, The Struggle over Borders: Cosmopolitanism and Communitarianism lends a fresh perspective on hotly contested issues of current political debates over globalization and the future of politics. \nThe authors analyze public and elite opinion\, party politics\, and mass-media conversations on climate change\, human rights\, migration\, regional integration\, and trade. They turn their gaze on institutional conflicts within the European Union and the United Nations\, as well as examining national debates in the USA\, Germany\, Poland\, Turkey\, and Mexico. \nAt a time when many are trying to take stock of tectonic shifts in global political discourse\, this book comprehensively maps the current realignment of politics in relation to globalization\, linking empirical analysis to key insights from political theories on cosmopolitanism and communitarianism. \nFollow Pieter on Twitter at @pieter_dewilde and Ruud at @ruud_koop_mans.

SUMMARY:Daniel Cetrà: Nationalism\, Liberalism and Language in Catalonia and Flanders
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this event is available for members. \nDaniel Cetrà sits down with Javier Carbonell to discuss his new book\, Nationalism\, Liberalism and Language in Catalonia and Flanders. \nAbout Dani\nDaniel Cetrà is a Research Fellow at the ESRC-funded Centre on Constitutional Change\, where he compares the evolution of sub-state nationalism and the case for independence in the Basque Country\, Catalonia\, Flanders and Scotland. He is currently developing a project on state nationalism centred on meanings of unionism in Brexit debates. \nAbout the book\nHis book\, Nationalism\, Liberalism and Language in Catalonia and Flanders\, is published by Palgrave. \n“Is liberalism really compatible with nationalism? Are there limits to linguistic nation-building policies? What arguments justify the imposition of national languages? This book addresses these questions by examining the linguistic disputes in Catalonia and Flanders\, two major cases of sub-state nationalism. The book connects two strands of arguments: the political arguments around contested linguistic policies\, drawing on a rich set of primary and secondary sources\, and the theoretical arguments around liberalism and nationalism. The study also compares the historical trajectory and political dynamics of Catalan and Flemish nationalism. It shows that the relationship between language and nationhood is politically constructed through state nation-building and minority activism. The findings highlight the relevance and pervasiveness of nationalism in contemporary social and political life. This book will appeal to scholars and upper-level students interested in nationalism\, contemporary political theory\, the politics of language\, and comparative territorial politics.” \nFollow Dani on Twitter at @DaniCetra.

SUMMARY:Nationalism and Multiculturalism: Reflections from a (post) Covid world
DESCRIPTION:A recording of this event is available for members. \nAnna Triandafyllidou (Ryerson University)\, Christian Joppke (University of Bern) and Jonathan Hearn (University of Edinburgh) discuss the intersection between nationalism and multiculturalism in a world defined by the Covid-19 pandemic\, chaired by Daphne Halikiopoulou (University of Reading). \nIs multiculturalism another form of nationalism\, i.e.\, another form of national self-affirmation and determination within existing states? Is multiculturalism retreating in Western societies as a result of the rise of national populism? How does Covid-19 affect membership and bordering practices within nation-states?
