SoSe 14: Nationalism: A Global History (zur Vorlesung von Wolfgang Wippermann)
Michael Goebel
Comments
This seminar provides an overview over various theories of nationalism and seeks to test their applicability through case studies since the early nineteenth century from Europe, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Its aim is therefore to gauge the potential and the limits of what so far has been a distinctly Eurocentric brand of theorizing. A first part of the seminar familiarizes students with the most common theoretical approaches to the study of nationalism from an interdisciplinary perspective, framed around the well-known debate between modernists such as Ernest Gellner and primordialists such as Anthony Smith. A second part deals with a series of case studies, which aim at allowing for teasing out intercontinental comparisons as well as ideological transfers in the history of the spread of nationalism since 1800. The ultimate aim is to provide students with a firmer grasp of how manifold forms of nationalism have profoundly shaped our contemporary world. close
