Nationalism is a relatively modern phenomenon that is commonly characterized as a devotion to one’s country or homeland. Yet, it is a historically complex theoretical idea that goes beyond simple notions of patriotism and ethnic origins. This course will be an eclectic lecture series in which we will explore the many ways that ideas of nationalism and national identity intersect with various forms of cultural and artistic expression.
