SUMMARY:Lecture: Nationalism and the Crisis of Modernity (Prasenjit Duara)
DESCRIPTION:Join Zoom Meeting: https://uni-goettingen.zoom.us/j/97494889145?pwd=SlN6bGhJWUF4dUVObUJFaW4vM282QT09\nMeeting ID: 974 9488 9145\nPasscode: 269109 \nThis lecture is presented within the framework of the Joint Center for Advanced Studies project “Worldmaking from a Global Perspective: A Dialogue with China” as part of the project “Conceptions of World Order and Their Social Carrier Groups”. \nAbstract:\n“Whether or not there is a direct causal relationship\, nationalism is at the heart of all the crises in the modern world and becomes entangled in its effects. As the fundamental source of authority for all modes of governance in the world\, we are beholden to its capacity to resolve these cascading crises. I have long argued that its core confessional and anarchic constitutive form does not afford this capaciousness. It is plain to see this in how the WHO is being hampered in the present pandemic by powerful national interests. “I argue that the nation form is the ‘epistemic engine’ driving the globally circulatory and doxic Enlightenment ideal of the conquest of nature and perpetual growth that sustains the runaway technosphere. The cascading crises that we have already witnessed in this century – financial\, economic\, epidemic and climatological—are rooted significantly in this technosphere. At the same time\, we will have to find our way through and out of these forms to secure a sustainable planet. Drawing from a paradigm of ‘oceanic temporality’ to grasp counter-finalities generated by the epistemic engine I explore the interstitial spaces and counter-flows of social movements that are seeking to develop a post-Enlightenment and a planetary\, rather than a global\, cosmology.” \nAbout Prasenjit Duara:\nPrasenjit Duara is the Oscar Tang Chair of East Asian Studies at Duke University. He was born and educated in India and received his PhD in Chinese history from Harvard University.
