Stathis Gourgouris argues that the national fantasy lies at the core of the Enlightenment imaginary, embodying its central paradox: the intertwining of anthropological universality with the primacy of a cultural ideal. Crucial to the operation of this paradox and fundamental in its ambiguity is the figure of Greece, the universal alibi and cultural predicate behind national -cultural consolidation throughout colonialist Europe. The largely unpredictable institution of a modern Greek nation in 1830 undoes the interweaving of Enlightenment and Philhellenism, whose centrifugal strands continue to unravel the certainty of European history, down to the internal predicaments of the European Union or the tragedy of the Balkan conflicts. This 25th Anniversary edition of the book includes a new preface by the author in which he situates the book's original insights in retrospect against the newer developments in the social and political conditions of a now globalized world: the neocolonial resurgence of nationalism and racism, the failure of social democratic institutions, the crisis of sovereignty and citizenship, and the brutal conditions of stateless peoples."--|cProvided by publisher 588 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed August 13, 2021). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 19th century|2fast 648 7 20th century|2fast 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Nationalism|zGreece|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010103293|xHistory.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh99005024 650 0 Enlightenment.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85044032 650 0 Nation-state.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85090144 650 0 Philhellenism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85100745 650 7 Nationalism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1033832 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Nation-state.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1715961 650 7 Philhellenism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1060605 650 7 Enlightenment.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/912527 650 7 nations.|2aat 651 0 Greece|xHistory|y19th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh86002643 651 0 Greece|xHistory|y20th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh86002001 651 7 Greece.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1208380 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGourgouris, Stathis, 1958-|tDream nation.|bAnniversary edition.|dStanford, California : Stanford University Press, [2021]|z9781503630635 |w(OCoLC)1268129547 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=2988235|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
