Selling the fatherland
Foreign views – focusing on the exotic and the extraordinary – often clash with national self-perception. This became increasingly problematic in the 1980s when globalization forced countries to improve their images. As a result, consultant firms began to advise governments throughout the world to rebrand their national images. The gap between foreign stereotypes and national self-image was wide in the case of Spain, where visitors were primarily…
Nested identities at the 1929 Seville and Barcelona International Expositions
The Ibero-American Exhibition in Seville and Barcelona’s International Exposition, both of which opened their doors in 1929, were local initiatives that originated in the years before the First World War. City councils in Seville and Barcelona hoped to boost civic pride by drawing the attention of the world. Both aimed to improve infrastructure, beautify the city and stimulate economic opportunities. However, this was done in different ways. Barc…
Symposium on The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism
This symposium consists of two critical reviews of The Cambridge History of Nationhood and Nationalism by Eric Storm and John Breuilly, followed by a response to those critiques by the editors of the two volumes
The Study of National Identities at World Fairs – from Methodological Nationalism to Transnational Approaches and Cultural Isomorphism
The study of national representations at world fairs could provide a strong incentive to the field of nationalism studies, since it enables the construction of national identities to be studied as a global process. This way, it can be shown that the process of national identity construction during the heyday of the world fairs between 1851 and the 1930s demonstrated many converging tendencies. This introductory article is divided into five sectio…
World Fairs and the Global Moulding of National Identities
This volume examines the role of the broad variety of international exhibitions between 1851 and 1958 in two programmatic essays and twelve case studies, covering not just France and the United States, but also, among others, Sweden, Romania, Colombia, Japan and the nascent European Community. World fairs were global platforms for the construction of national identities. The mix of national self-profiling and commercial exoticism turned the natio…
Symposium for Miroslav Hroch
Twelve historians and social scientists reflect on Miroslav Hroch's contributions to the field of nationalism studies. There are essays on his pioneering comparative historical studies of ‘small nation’ national movements and his distinction between nationalism and national movements. Other essays focus on concepts such as those of protagonist, the three phases of national movements, the small nation and nationally relevant conflict of interest. …
The rise of the nation‐state during the Age of Revolution
Recent historical studies tend to confirm the antimodernist interpretation, emphasizing the strong premodern roots of nations and nationalism. However, a broad comparative analysis of the rise of the nation‐state during the Age of Revolution shows that earlier notions of nationhood did not have a significant role in the creation of nation‐states in Europe and the Americas. They were not the consequence of a glorious national revolt, but of a clas…
When Did Nationalism Become Banal? The Nationalization of the Domestic Sphere in Spain
Inspired by Michael Billig’s Banal Nationalism, social scientists have begun to study the impact of nationalism on everyday life. However, Billig’s concept is far from clear. Actually, banal can refer to ‘mundane’ expressions of nationalism, to their ‘unconscious’ consumption or their ‘cold’ temperature. Moreover, on many occasions Billig referred to the state instead of the nation, thus in fact analysing ‘banal statism’. For historians it is oft…
Questioning the Wilsonian moment
This dossier aims to problematize the widespread understanding of ethnic cleavages as the hard core undergirding national conflict. As such it questions the rise of ethnic nationalism during the late nineteenth century as the direct cause of the dawn of Europe’s ‘oppressed peoples’ after 1918. The different contributions evaluate the status of the First World War as the breakthrough moment of Wilsonian self-determination within the multi-ethnic s…

Encyclopedia of Romantic Nationalism in Europe
This encyclopedia documents the presence and impact of nationalized cultural consciousness in European nationalism. It tracks how intellectuals, historians, philologists, novelists, poets, painters, folklorists, and composers, in an intensely collaborative transnational network, articulated the national identities and aspirations that would go on to determine European history and politics, with effects that are still felt today. Edited by Joep Le…
A New Dawn in Nationalism Studies? Some Fresh Incentives to Overcome Historiographical Nationalism
Nationalism studies does not seem to be a very innovative field of research. The path-breaking views of Anderson, Gellner and Hobsbawm – all published in 1983 – still form the starting point for almost all existing investigations. Moreover, most recent studies focus on one national case, which implicitly results in a vast collection of ‘unique’ trajectories. However, over the last few years a number of highly original studies on the origins of na…
La nacionalización del hogar en España
The nationalization of the domestic sphere in Spain is a topic that has been largely ignored. Recently, the interest in the study of banal nationalism and the impact of nationalism on everyday life has been on the rise, particularly for the Francoist and democratic era; however, its origins are not clear at all. An examination of developments in domestic architecture, interior decoration, and even gardening shows that the domestic sphere was nati…
The nationalisation of the domestic sphere
Banal forms of nationalism permeate our everyday life. However, it is not very clear when all kinds of banal objects and practices became nationalised. In this article, I focus on the domestic sphere by analysing how around 1900 a small group of activists began to propagate the nationalisation of domestic architecture, decorative arts and even gardening. Domestic practices such as cooking, cleaning and consuming were nationalised at about the sam…

Nationalism studies between methodological nationalism and orientalism
Methodological nationalism is still dominant in nationalism studies. When studying the construction of national identities, scholars generally limit their study to the borders of one nation‐state, while only paying attention to members of that particular nation. Implicitly, foreign actors and influences are left out of the picture. I will challenge this methodological nationalism with a case study, which demonstrates that the place of T oledo wit…

Towards World Heritage
In the last few decades, the rise of the preservation movement and the establishment of the heritage industry have received ample scholarly attention. However, most studies still focus on changing attitudes towards the material remains of the past within one national, regional or local context, without paying much attention to international trends, contacts and transfers. This is curious, because the emergence of this new appreciation of heritage…
The Nation Made Real
This is a somewhat curious book. It is a good overview, by one of the leading specialists on nationalism, Anthony D. Smith, of the role of painters in spreading the nationalist message in Western Europe between the late eighteenth and the early nineteenth centuries, but it seems to have been written ten years ago. Although there are also references to more recent publications, many chapters are largely based on secondary studies from the 1980s. T…
Overcoming Methodological Nationalism in Nationalism Studies
During the last 30 years, our understanding of the nation-building process in various parts of Europe and across the globe has increased substantially. Some of the most important results of this growing body of studies will be discussed in this review article, which consists of four parts. First, I will examine some innovative trends in the field of nationalism studies, such as the growing attention for the impact of nationalism on popular cultur…

The problems of the Spanish nation‐building process around 1900
Most historians acknowledge that the Spanish nation‐building process started late and was neither very profound nor successful. In general, they point to the slow modernisation process or the unwillingness of the elite to explain the weakness of Spanish nationalism in the decades around 1900. However, there are a number of factors that hampered the nation‐building process in Spain that have not received the attention they deserve. In the first in…

Only recently the region has become an object of analysis again. Particularly the cultural approach, focusing on the process of regional identity formation, is producing remarkable results. Nevertheless, the strength of regionalism in many European countries during the period 1890-1945, which has been neglected for many decades, is still underestimated. The regionalist movement rivalled the avant-garde in trying to reform existing high culture fr…

Painting Regional Identities
During the decades before 1914, nationalism pervaded cultural discourse more than ever before as a new type of subjectivist, organic nationalism came to the fore. At the same time nations were seen as consisting of a harmonious whole of organically grown regional folk cultures. Thus, a new more activist nationalism coincided and overlapped with the rise of a more folkloristic and regionalist interpretation of the respective national identities. B…
