Pan-Africanism is highly relevant to the discourse on nationalism and internationalism considering the involvement of different groups of people across nation state borders. This is because the issues generated by Pan-African initiatives offer more insight into how continental developments became globalized and entrenched attributes of the black people wherever they find themselves. Every issue concerning PanAfricanism offers an opportunity for a reflection on the past and how to forge a new identity for Africans in this 21st century that has rather become highly contested across the world. Having a classed world in terms of culture, race, technology, and development indicates that nationalism at the continental level achievable through transnational Pan-Africanism is inevitable and must be prioritized for the expected outcome to be realized. The transnational nature of nationalism in this context shows how PanAfricanism is a collaborative endeavor that brings people from African ancestry together. Pan-Africanism has given birth to clichés like the African dream, African personality, neo-Africanism, black consciousness, black pride, dignity of blacks, and blacks in the diaspora. Africanization as a development now transcends the political independence of the states in Africa to the extent that the much-championed unity is dependent on the ability of people to come under one umbrella of ideas to forge an ethnic African identity. Transnational Pan-Africanism has become a new pathway to the realization of an African dream of unity, cooperation, and development in this globalized world where identity now matters and remains significant to the actualization of many African-centered interests. Pan-Africanism and the ideas that promote Africanness have given scholars a platform to study and engage in the discussion of issues or affairs concerning the continent. Historically, the term Pan-Africanism was first used by Henry Sylvester Williams (1867–1911), who was a barrister from Trinidad, then the West Indies, and","PeriodicalId":156833,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism in a Transnational Age","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132768436","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mughal","doi":"10.1515/9783110729290-008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1515/9783110729290-008","url":null,"abstract":"Pakistani national identity has always been associated with Islam since the country was created in 1947. Therefore, Pakistani identity and nationalism are represented through symbols and narratives of Muslim identity in specific religious, historical, and political contexts. The production and dissemination of these symbols and narratives have been limited to traditional media for local consumption until recently. However, an overwhelming use of digital technologies, particularly social media, has given rise to new trends in expressing Pakistani identity, which involve religious symbolism, narratives of modernity, regional cultures, and digital art forms. These expressions in new media, particularly social media, have reasserted the central ideas associated with Pakistani identity while shaping up the ways of representing national symbolism differently in a globalized world. This contribution explores the expressions of Pakistani national identity and nationalism in new media as a transnational space. The ideologies of integration vs. fragmentation, “us” vs. “them,” and borders vs. borderlines are being reshaped in a rapidly changing globalized world. These changing circumstances raise many questions regarding how we describe and analyze identity and nationalism in global and transnational contexts. There is a great deal of literature available to highlight the relationship between mass media and diaspora communities in transnational frameworks. The use of social media has increased in the last few years in education, entertainment, politics, and social movements. Social media is a transnational space, which creates, reacts to, and inspires not only local or national issues but also international situations. Through the interactive nature of social media, different communities and","PeriodicalId":156833,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism in a Transnational Age","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124625328","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While it was first expressed in the Young Turk revolution of 1908 and was important during the last years of the Ottoman Empire, it reached its first height during and after the Turkish War of Independence, when Mustafa Kemal, later known as Atatürk, became the incarnation of the Turkish nation. His rise to become the nation’s strong man actually began with one decisive battle during the First World War, namely the battle for the Gallipoli Peninsula and the Dardanelles. Although the main focus of research related to the centennial of the First World War is still directed on the campaigns in Europe, in particular the Western Front, “the Gallipoli operations are the most famous and well-remembered today.” The memory of the events related to the Gallipoli campaign has played an important role in Britain, as well as in Australia, where discussions about the reasons for its failure and the ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) myth, respectively, were at the center of commemorative events. However, the victory at Gallipoli was as important for the Turkish memory as the defeat and shared suffering were for the Australian identity. Ulrichsen emphasizes the role Gallipolirelated memories have played for the Australian and Turkish nations since the end","PeriodicalId":156833,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism in a Transnational Age","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127201178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After a period of globalization and internationalization, nation states played only a minor role in processes of decision-making, economic integration as well as historical development in general. Referrals were repeatedly made to Europe, to name one example here, because the EU significantly represented this global trend. Thus, when Eric Hobsbawm (1917–2012) wrote a new prologue to the German edition of his famous book Nations and Nationalism since 1780 in 2005, he claimed that nations were disappearing, and that is the time for scientific research because exploring nationalism was possible as recently as the phenomenon had gone. This perception changed over a couple of years. Several states have renationalized and thus apparently interrupted this development. To describe this process, we only need to mention a few keywords: Brexit, “Make America great again,” or border control, and everyone already knows that nationalism is still a vivid political concept. Last but not least, the consequences of the coronavirus as a nightmare for a totally globalized economy led to the complete isolation of individual countries in the northern hemisphere within a few days. The economic and political consequences are not yet foreseeable – a re-nationalization of states cannot be excluded.","PeriodicalId":156833,"journal":{"name":"Nationalism in a Transnational Age","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125668578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Later the situation changed: along with Western aspirations, the Georgian national project gradually acquired civil features. The present contribution analyzes the symbolic and real roles of the West in the formation of post-Soviet Georgian public discourse(s) and the importance of attitudes to the West in the development of diverse forms of national identity. At the end of the 1980s, the country’s independence became the foremost goal of the national movement that started in the Soviet Republic of Georgia. After achieving this goal and the establishment of independence, at the beginning of the 1990s, the development of an independent democratic state became the most significant challenge for Georgian society. In the process of deconstructing the Soviet system, Georgians started to construct a new identity and searched for their own place within the international system. Since this period, the idea of the European origin of Georgians and their close links to the West has become widespread in the public and academic circles. The idea of “belonging to Europe” still plays a key role in the process of formation of the Georgian identity. However, the attitude to the West is not positive in all cases. Although Euro-Atlantic integration on the political level is the key message of the Georgian national project, a certain portion of Georgian society is filled with fear and mistrust of the West. Diverse social groups demonize the West, although, unlike in the Soviet era, in this case the “Western Demon” does not threaten the “Soviet motherland.” Instead, it threatens a traditional orthodox country with an ancient history.

Many celebrated the fall of the empires, but there were also a few who felt bereaved. Among the latter were members of the imperial nations, i.e. groups who identified with the imperial project the most. Empires are gone (at least for the time being), but what happened to the missionary nationalism that, in the opinion of some scholars, was characteristic of the imperial nations? The key feature of missionary nationalism, as defined by Krishan Kumar, is “the attachment of a dominant or core ethnic group to a state entity that conceives itself as dedicated to some large course or purpose, religious, cultural or political.” Hence the central category of missionary imperialism is the sense of mission. The goal of this contribution is to trace and describe the continuation of missionary imperialism in former empires, using post-Soviet Russia as the case study. While approaching Russian contemporary missionary nationalism, I focus on its crucial component, i.e. the mission. I use a broad notion of mission which combines components of different variations of messianism (e.g. missionism). I argue that mission is a conviction that a certain community (state/nation) believes is exceptional and that this exceptionality manifests itself in its special destiny.
