Federalism, Self-Determination, and the Reshaping of French Regionalist Debate in the Aftermath of World War I
During World War I, national pride in France fostered solidarity and increased patriotism. However, after the war, the principles of self-determination and nationality reignited debates among young regionalists about federal reorganization in France and Europe. Federalism was seen as a way to promote peace in Europe and to protect national minorities within the state. This movement crystallized in 1927 when representatives from Alsace, Corsica, a…
Introduction
The concept of race has historically shifted between biological and cultural meanings, complicating its definition and perpetuating its presence in modern discourse. Still, the term racism is generally used under the assumption that it is derived from a strictly biological conception of race, and its historical lineage is therefore mainly associated with scientific disciplines that dealt with the natural, physiological, or “measurable” aspects of…
Romance Dialectology in France and Italy in the 1870s, or the Ethnic Question through the Lens of Linguistics
It is widely accepted that nineteenth-century Romance linguistics—and historical-comparative linguistics in general—took no particular interest in the relationship between language and race, which was considered to lie beyond the scope of the discipline. Even so, the debate on race and ethnicity was not completely absent from the field, resurfacing in particular in the study of dialects. Dialects were, in fact, considered vestiges of ancient ethn…
Digital Humanities
Since the 1990s, the use of consultation and research techniques linked to computers and the web has pervaded historical research. This has impacted upon the way historical sources are produced, published, stored and analysed
Language and ethnicity
This article presents the growing interest in the history, language, and culture of the Romanian people in Italy and France, particularly from the 1840s to the 1870s. This interest will be analysed within the context of the evolving political situation in Europe, characterized by the emergence of the Eastern question, national tensions within the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Russia’s expansionist policy towards the Balkans. It will also be explore…
Scholars and the reframing of Europe
Delegates attending the Paris Peace Conference in 1919 were given the arduous task of establishing the terms of the peace after WW1, including the criteria by which to determine the boundaries of new states emerging from the collapse of the old multinational empires. Given that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had laid so much emphasis on the principle of ‘self determination’, language was considered by many as the best element to establish national…
The ‘Dogma of the Independence of Nations’
In 1851, in his famous lecture Della nazionalità come fondamento del diritto delle genti, the Italian jurist Pasquale Stanislao Mancini (1817-1888) formulated the so-called ‘dogma of the Independence of Nations’ – a fundamental principle of the political ideologies of the Risorgimento. In it, he defined nationality as ‘a natural society of individuals’ based on ‘unity of territory, origins, habits and language, and conformed to a commonality of l…
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…
