Description:
The aim of the conference is to take stock of the cultural impact of
national ideologies and movements from the mid eighteenth century
onwards. The continuing importance of nationalism as an agent of
social and cultural change is self-evident. The conference will take a
new look at the emergence of nationalist discourses in the
Enlightenment, Romantic and post-Romantic periods. Why did national
identity exert such a powerful hold over the political imagination, and
why has it continued to shape so many of our political and cultural
agendas.
Speakers: Speakers include: Marilyn Butler, Craig Calhoun, James Chandler, Cairns Craig, Adriana Craciun, Tom Furniss, Anthony Smith, Martin Thom, Katie Trumpener, John Williams, David Worrall
