SUMMARY:Mechanisms of National Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a panel discussion on the recent themed section in Nations and Nationalism on ‘mechanisms of national solidarity’ with Danny Kaplan\, Siniša Malešević\, Lea David\, Daniel Lainer-Vos\, Jon Fox\, and Hizky Shoham on 6th February from 1730UTC (check this time in your city) live on Facebook and YouTube – members will receive an invitation to join the Zoom call. \nThe themed section on ‘Mechanisms of National Solidarity’ explores key questions and challenges related to studying national solidarity as distinct from national identity. Focusing on the ‘how’ rather than the ‘what’\, this section highlights the importance of examining and theorising the social mechanisms that shape different manifestations of national solidarity. These mechanisms include interpersonal interactions\, social networks\, communicative processes\, socio-political institutions and iconic material objects. Additionally\, the introduction briefly outlines the six contributions in this section\, which examines specific solidarity mechanisms within particular national contexts. The contributions offer valuable insights into the study of nationhood and nationalism in both everyday life and public events\, helping to unravel the under-explored relationship between collective identity formation and the creation of solidarity. \nThe articles are:\nIntroduction – Danny Kaplan\nClubs and events: Two models of performance in studies of sport and national solidarity – Danny Kaplan\nBetween deep comradeship and nationalism: The social dynamics of solidarity on the battlefield – Siniša Malešević\nThe victims’ shoes trope and emerging solidarity in political protest – Lea David\nOrchestrating National Occasions: The formation of the Irish American athletic league in New York City (1904–1920) – Dan Lainer-Vos\nClapping the nation\, or\, from a global pandemic to national imaginaries via local solidarities – Jon Fox\nPerforming national practices of solidarity-through-sameness – Hizky Shoham

SUMMARY:From Empire to Nation-State: Minority Rights in Estonia in the First Half of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Anthony D. Smith Visiting Fellow\, Timo Aava\, speaks on his research on non-territorial autonomy. We’ll be live on Facebook and YouTube or you can join us in person in room PAN.9.04 at the LSE. \nThe talk will discuss new findings on the theoretical discussions and the implementation of non-territorial minority self-government in Estonia during the first half of the 20th century. Based on the principle of non-territorial autonomy\, Estonia introduced legislation in 1925 allowing minorities to establish self-government bodies to administer their cultural and educational affairs. This legislation was widely regarded as the most minority-friendly in interwar Europe. The talk will argue that this legislation and the debates surrounding it were a continuation of earlier discussions on the organisation of empires and the rights of nationalities\, with which theoreticians and politicians had intensively engaged in the Habsburg and Romanov empires. The talk will offer a fresh interpretation of the emergence and functioning of this minority protection system and show that the Estonian case was part of a transnational debate over the nature of modern statehood and the rights of nationalities. \nTimo Aava is a historian of modern Europe focusing on the history of political thought and minority rights. He holds a doctoral degree in history from the University of Vienna. He has held research positions at the Jacob Robinson Institute for the History of Individual and Collective Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem\, the Austrian Academy of Sciences\, the University of Vienna\, and the Vienna Wiesenthal Institute for Holocaust Studies. In addition to the Anthony D. Smith Visiting Fellowship at LSE\, in the 2024-2025 academic year\, he will hold academic positions at Yale University and Harvard University.
