Abstract
The introductory chapter examines recurrent questions of nationalism through a distinctly global approach that considers factors of language, ethnicity, identity, justice, ethics, globalisation, environment, and postcolonialism. The collection calls attention to emergent areas of scholarship into nationalism namely ecology, sustainability, natural resources, the Anthropocene, Indigeneity, folklore, and popular culture. Whereas many existing studies of nationalism tend to be located strictly in the disciplines of history and political science, the present volume brings much needed critical attention to the value of interdisciplinarity, highlighting literary and cultural elaborations of nationalism in particular. Rather than located in a single disciplinary framework, the 19 chapters included in the volume develop innovative cross-disciplinary perspectives on nationalism through in-depth analyses of the theoretical, political, literary, linguistic, and cultural dimensions of nationhood. Academic specialists from around the world address topics of current relevance to Argentina, Australia, Bangladesh, Bosnia and Herzegovina, China, Germany, Greece, India, Indonesia, Lebanon, Nepal, Nigeria, Poland, Scotland, Turkey, the United States, and elsewhere. Overall, contributors argue for the value of generative dialogue among theorisation, political expression, and literary articulation in assessing the implications of nationalism and nation-building for everyday life.
