Re-enchanting nationalismsrituals and remembrances in a postmodern age /[electronic resource] :by Brad West. - New York, NY :Springer New York :2015. - xxii, 152 p. :ill. (some col.), digital ;24 cm.

Preface -- Chapter 1. Towards a Cultural Sociology of Re-Enchantment -- Chapter 2. International Cicil Religious Pilgrimage: Gallipoli and Dialogical Remembrance -- Chapter 3. Re-Enacting the American Civil War: Conflict, Simulation and the Sacred -- Chapter 4. Dialogical History in a Time of Crisis -- Chapter 4. Dialogical History in a Time of Crisis: Tourist Logics and the 2002 Bali Bombings -- Chapter 5. National Humanitarianism and the 2002 Indian Ocean Tsunami: charitable Response and Ethical Dilemma of Cultural Understanding -- Chapter 6. The Power of Ritual and the Future of the Nation.

This book provides original insight into the way we now engage and remember national history. Drawing on fieldwork and analysis of international case studies on state commemoration, memorialization, recreational and tourism and times of disaster and crisis, the author demonstrates that not only does the nation frequently retain a strong cultural relevance in our global world but that the emergence of new forms of ritual and remembrance means that in many instances we are seeing the re-enchantment of nationalism. Drawing upon and developing an empirically informed cultural sociology, the author charts the distinctive qualities of these new national rites and how they feed into and advance particular cosmopolitan and orthodox national politics. Because social science has so often wrongly assumed the end of nationalism, the insights of this of the book about the possibilities and limitations of contemporary nationalism demand serious consideration by academics and also by policy makers and the general public.
