Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will explore different aspects of nationalism in post-socialist (South)Eastern Europe, while simultaneously introducing theoretical contributions to the study of nationalism. The course will critique the long-standing dichotomy of Eastern and Western nationalism. Building on case studies from (South)Eastern Europe, the course will pose questions about the historical processes in which national identity does or does not become intertwined with religious identity and about the relationships between nationalism and popular culture, political economy, race and gender. Further, the course will trace the role that nationalism had played in the conservative or progressive politics in the region. Insights from case and comparative studies from the region will be complemented by classical texts from the field of nationalism studies.

Assessment and permitted materials

Students are expected to read the assigned texts and prepare responses to guiding questions that will be posted ahead of the class. When writing the final paper, the students will need to identify further relevant literature as well as showcase their understanding of the main debates in the field, covered by the literature in the class.
