The written voice of Korea
2018
The theme of language and nationalism may be approached via various routes. Among these, I choose Hangul, the invented alphabet of Korea, which, I believe, Koreans can by no means separate from the language. To the Korean people, Hangul is the very Korean language and vice versa. They tend to identify the Korean language and its alphabet as a unity, like the body and the soul. It is not rare for Korean-language teachers abroad to be misaddressed as Hangul teachers. I presume that the unity in the Korean mind has been concretely formed through the turmoil of late modern history, although Hangul has been influencing Korean society since the 1440s. To look at ‘language and nationalism’ in Kore…
Chinese Peoples and the Others : Notes on Contemporary Chinese Nationalism and the May Fourth Movement
2019
The May Fourth Movement (1917-1921) has always been an important part of the official historical narrative of the Chinese Communist Party. Today, the Movement is often celebrated as being closely connected with the emergence of modern Chinese patriotism and nationalism in contemporary China. In the 21st century, Chinese nationalism has voiced more assertive overtones with a tendency to glorify Chinese imperial history. What is more, contemporary Chinese nationalism often adopts a negative attitude towards foreign ideas and thought trends. This article discusses the differences between contemporary Chinese nationalism and the May Fourth Movement nationalism by examining the argumentation str…
Balancing Between Narratives of the West and Hindu Nationalism in Emerging India
2019
India has been an important point of reference for Western identity, and the construction of an Orient. Vice versa, people in India have constructed their own Occidentalisms about Westerners, and the global position of ‘the West’, as well as to form an Indian identity. The West has represented the colonizer in India, but at the same time a source of valuable ideologies, values, policies, and innovations benefiting India. Moreover, many nationalist narratives in India emphasize self-reliance from and even superiority to the West. During Narendra Modi’s administration, the ‘New India’ has concentrated on taking a more active role in the world. Traditional elements of Indian tradition have bee…
"Rotten to the core" : variations of French nationalist anti-system rhetoric
2004
Vallitsevan poliittisen järjestelmän vastustaminen on piirre, joka on leimannut ranskalaista äärinationalismia aina 1800-luvun loppupuolelta alkaen. Tuula Vaarakallio tarkastelee tutkimuksessaan kolmea erilaista äärikansallisen liikehdinnän edustajaa, jotka ovat hyökänneet edustuksellista demokratiaa, parlamentarismia sekä poliittista eliittiä vastaa eri aikakausina.Vaarakallio tutki äärioikeistolaista järjestelmän vastaisuutta yksityiskohtaisesti poliittisissa ohjelmateksteissä. Näin hän keräsi lisätietoa siitä, mitä itsestäänselvyytenä pidetyn äärikansallisen protestin taakse kätkeytyy. One of the main components (topoi) of the politics of the French nationalists since the late 19th centu…
Nationalism and Internationalism Reconciled : British Concepts for a New World Order during and after the World Wars
2018
The carnage of World War I gave rise to liberal visions for a new world order with democratized foreign policy and informed international public opinion. Conservatives emphasized continuity in national sovereignty, while socialists focused on the interests of the working class. While British diplomacy in the construction of the League of Nations has been widely discussed, we focus on contemporary uses of nationalism and internationalism in parliamentary and press debates that are more ideological. We also examine how failed internationalist visions influenced uses of these concepts during World War II, supporting alternative organizational solutions, caution with the rhetoric of democracy a…
