The Everyday in the History of Nationhood and Nationalisms Conference, organised by the Research Council of Finland Centre of Excellence in Nationalism Research in the Humanities (NARS), takes place at Tampere University, Finland May 12-14, 2027.
The First NARS Conference will examine how the everyday has shaped, negotiated, legitimized, and challenged nationalisms, and continues to do so. How have people produced and contested national meanings in different ways and in their encounters with mundane institutions, practices, spaces and objects? To what extent is the episodic, fluctuating, and asymmetrical nature of nationalism due to everyday encounters of individuals and groups with national(ist) affordances? More fundamentally, what does the “everyday” signify in everyday nationalism, and what influences its changing meanings?
