Description


Explores different forms of contemporary nationalism, its main sources, various levels of its construction, and its political employment. Investigates the resurgence of nationalism against the background of globalisation and the connected processes of dislocation and relocation. Focuses on the numerous antinomies resulting from these processes, including that between democratic citizenship and formation of collective and individual identities. Addresses some of the theoretical perspectives concerning the potential of multiculturalism for the formation of non-exclusive, open identities.
