The Global Rise of Populist Nostalgia: Lessons From Collective Memory
Propelled by issues of migration, globalization, and postcoloniality, the field of collective memory experienced a transnational and cosmopolitan turn in the first decade of the 21 st Century. A broad consensus emerged that memories had become decentralized as nation‐states lost their status as the sole arbiters of the past. Benedict Anderson's “imagined communities,” and Hobsbawm's “invented traditions,” which ascribed nation‐states the power to…

Claiming the People's Past: Populist Politics of History in the Twenty-First Century
This book offers a global and systematic overview of populist politics of history in the twenty-first century. An international group of scholars interrogates how and why populists engage with the past. Twelve case studies focus on uses of history and memory by populist movements across the globe – ranging from Brazil to Bangladesh, from Poland to Tanzania. Five thematic chapters zoom in on key features of populism: its relation to time, national…

The Panorama of Conquest”: A Cultural Approach to National Emotions
This article examines the Panorama Museum of Conquest in Istanbul, a triumphalist example of state‐led nostalgia, to understand how a national emotional attachment is sustained or contested through new forms of engagement with history. Using the dual‐process model of cognition, particularly the differentiation between declarative and nondeclarative personal and public cultures, I take the museum as a manifestation of neo‐Ottomanist public culture…
The NBA Isn't What It Used to Be: Racialized Nostalgia for '90s Basketball
Soon after the Covid19 pandemic hit, sports were halted, resulting in a natural hiatus ripe for collective memory practices. For basketball culture, this remembrance predominantly took the form of nostalgia, mostly for the 1990s and the Michael Jordan era through ESPN's series The Last Dance; when professional men's basketball is considered to have been better. In this paper, we ask what this perceptional superiority signifies. We find that the n…
From Politics as Vocation to Politics as Business: Populist Social Performance and Narrative Fusion in Trump Rallies
Populist movements seek to bolster the power of “the people” and undermine elites. In the United States a businessman, Donald Trump, has convinced a significant portion of the population that he is a man of the people. We answer three inter-related questions about what may be Trump’s biggest “win”: the transformation of populist discourse for a new century. How does Trump embed himself inside his followers’ own deep story? How does he fuse their …
Creating the Creation Museum: How Fundamentalist Beliefs Come to Life, by KATHLEEN C. Oberlin
There is a tendency to emphasize the digital nature of social movements today, and a recent call to explore the link between online movements and the physical aspects thereof such as buildings, in-person gatherings, and organizing through face-to-face interactions. Oberlin’s book answers this call spectacularly by focusing on the brick-and-mortar Creation Museum, which relies on leisure and scientific tropes to contest the secular mainstream, que…

Such Hatred Has Never Flourished on Our Soil”: The Politics of Holocaust Memory in Turkey and Spain
In this article, we analyze local Holocaust Remembrance Day ( HRD ) ceremonies promoted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ( IHRA ) in Spain and Turkey. We investigate whether these memory practices have the potential to lead to a cosmopolitan engagement with the host countries’ own pasts. Focused on the same memorial events in highly contrasting and diverse national contexts, this article examines how supranational memory discou…
The conquest of hearts: The central role of Ottoman nostalgia within contemporary Turkish populism
Between neo-Ottomanism and Ottomania: Navigating State-Led and Popular Cultural Representations of the Past
In contemporary Turkey, a growing interest in Ottoman history represents a change in both the official state discourse and popular culture. This nostalgia appropriates, reinterprets, decontextualizes, and juxtaposes formerly distinct symbols, ideas, objects, and histories in unprecedented ways. In this paper, we distinguish between state-led neo-Ottomanism and popular cultural Ottomania, focusing on the ways in which people in Turkey are interpel…
Men and Women Expecting to Work Longer: Do Changing Work Conditions Matter
This study investigates the effects of an organizational flexibility/support initiative on Boomers’ expectations of working longer. Most research on retirement planning is based on studies of earlier cohorts and may not capture the unique experiences of Boomers. We draw on U.S. data from the Work Family and Health Network’s randomized control study of an organizational redesign (called STAR) that offers employees greater control over when and whe…
