SUMMARY:Harris Mylonas and Maya Tudor | Varieties of Nationalism
DESCRIPTION:We sit down with Harris Mylonas and Maya Tudor to discuss their new book\, Varieties of Nationalism. Join us live on Facebook and YouTube; members will receive an invitation to join on Zoom. \nAbout Varieties of Nationalism\nNationalism has long been a normatively and empirically contested concept\, associated with democratic revolutions and public goods provision\, but also with xenophobia\, genocide\, and wars. Moving beyond facile distinctions between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ nationalisms\, the authors argue that nationalism is an empirically variegated ideology. Definitional disagreements\, Eurocentric conceptualizations\, and linear associations between ethnicity and nationalism have hampered our ability to synthesize insights. This Element proposes that nationalism can be broken down productively into parts based on three key questions: (1) Does a nation exist? (2) How do national narratives vary? (3) When do national narratives matter? The answers to these questions generate five dimensions along which nationalism varies: elite fragmentation and popular fragmentation of national communities; ascriptiveness and thickness of national narratives; and salience of national identities. \nAbout Harris\nHarris Mylonas is Associate Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at the Elliott School of International Affairs\, George Washington University. His work contributes to the understanding of states’ management of diversity that may originate from national minorities\, immigrants\, diasporas\, or refugees. He is particularly interested in the role of decision makers’ perceptions about foreign involvement in their domestic affairs and the impact these perceptions have on the planning and implementation of state policies. He is teaching undergraduate courses on Nationalism\, Patriotism\, and European Integration\, and graduate courses on Nation-Building in the Balkans\, Nationalism and Nation-Building\, and Qualitative Research Methods. \nRead more about Harris at GWU or follow him on Twitter. \nAbout Maya\nMaya Tudor is Associate Professor of Government and Public Policy at the Blavatnik School of Government\, University of Oxford. Her research investigates the origins of stable\, democratic and effective states across the developing world\, with a particular emphasis on South Asia. She was educated at Stanford University (BA in Economics) and Princeton University (MPA in Development Studies and PhD in Politics and Public Policy). She has held fellowships at Harvard University’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs\, Oxford University’s Centre for the Study of Inequality and Democracy\, and Stanford University’s Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. \nRead more about Maya at Oxford or follow her on Twitter.

SUMMARY:Historical Memory in Greece
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 29th November as we sit down to discuss Christina Koulouri’s new book\, Historical Memory in Greece 1821-1930\, with the author herself\, Maria Kaliambou\, Rainer Liedtke\, and Athena Leoussi. We’ll be live on YouTube and Facebook; members will receive an invitation to join the Zoom call. \nAbout Historical Memory in Greece\nHistorical Memory in Greece presents a social and cultural history of collective memory in modern Greece during the first century of state independence\, contributing to the debate over the relationship between memory and identity. We’ll be live on YouTube and Facebook; members will receive an email to join the Zoom call. \nIt discusses how modern Greek society commemorated its distant and recent pasts\, both real and imagined\, namely antiquity\, Byzantium\, the Greek Revolution and the Asia Minor Catastrophe; how cultural memory was shaped by the various war experiences (victory\, defeat\, mass death and mourning\, refugeedom); and how memory politics became arenas of social and political strife. Historical painting\, monuments\, historical pageantry\, tableaux vivants\, national anniversaries\, performances of ancient drama and revivals of ancient games are analyzed as instances where the past was visualized\, represented\, performed and “consumed”. \nAn explosion in public history has taken place over the last decades around the world\, with a veritable flood of commemorations\, anniversaries and “memory wars”. As more and more social groups claim the “right to remember”\, public discourse and polemics have arisen at the same time that traumatic memory has become a field of international academic research. In the arena of public history\, historical memory is being constructed through the sentimental\, irrational reception of mythological narratives told through images. \nHistorical Memory in Greece is published by Routledge. \nAbout Christina Koulouri\nChristina Koulouri is Professor in Modern and Contemporary History and Rector of Panteion University of Social and Political Sciences (Athens\, Greece).
