Readings for this Week

▪ Chernilo, Daniel. 2020. “Beyond the Nation? Or back to it? Current

Trends in the Sociology of Nations and Nationalism.” Sociology 54(6): 1072 - 1087.

▪ Miller-Idriss, Cynthia. 2019. “The Global Dimensions of Populist

Nationalism.” The International Spectator 54(2): 17-34.

Concept of the Week:

Nation/Nationalism

A Word of Caution

▪ Nation, Nationality, Nationalism are deeply naturalized concepts.

▪ It is presumed that everyone comes from a “nation”; and that they

share key features: language, political culture, origins, geographies, etc.

▪ Like with other political categories/concepts we will discuss, let’s

think critically and carefully about nationalism.

The Political Sociology of Nationalism

▪ Theorizing nationalism

▪ Nationalism and religion

▪ Nationalism and Economic

development

▪ Nationalism in everyday life

▪ Nationalism and immigration

▪ Nationalism and Racial

identity

Primordial versus Modernist

Organizing Question: How old is nationalism?

▪ Nation and

nationalism are modern constructs, bore through industrialization, state formation, capitalism)

▪ Nations trace

their roots to premodern “ethnies,” from which they received their myths, traditions, etc.

Ethnicity versus Nationalism

Organizing Question: What is the relationship between “ethnicity” and “nationalism”?

▪ Similarities : a group identity; politically potent; meaningful in everyday life.

▪ But key difference (according to some scholars):

▪ “Nationalism, in particular, remains the pre-eminent rhetoric

for attempts to demarcate political communities, claim rights of self-determination and legitimate rule by reference to “the people” of a country” (Calhoun 1997, p. 211).

Participation Question:

Exclusionary versus Egalitarian

Organizing Question: What is the nature of nationalism? What is Chernilo’s position? Do you agree?
