| Title: |
Alternative Nationalisms: (Un)Doing National Spaces of
Belonging (2) |
| Description: |
In this session we seek to bring together papers exploring a
range of
practices which challenge dominant nationalisms and seek
to establish
different ways of 'doing' the nation. We ask how
such practices challenge dominant nationalisms, at which scales such
processes operate, and how this 'undoing' and/or 're-doing' of the
nation might be spatialised. We also explore how and to what extent
these practices provide the potential for alternative 'doings' of
national belonging that move beyond hegemonic (re)productions of the
nation. Crucially, we also seek critical assessments of the
entangled relations of domination/resistance involved in such
practices and the extent to which 'alternatives' to dominant
nationalisms entail progressive and inclusive politics, or develop
new exclusions in refigured national spaces of belonging. |
