Several theories of nationalism were developed based on cases taken from the region, and recent critical, sometimes revisionist, understandings of nationhood frequently call upon material collected from this area. Within contemporary historiography, the most notable trend is the gradual abandonment of pervasive national- and nation-state-centered narratives in imperial histories and the repositioning of nationalism as a driver of social change and organization. According to these works\u2014which often attempted to reverse the observer\u2019s analytical perspective, and whichinspired widespread engagement with \u201cbottom-up\u201d research in nationalism studies along the way\u2014imperial order(s) were more flexible with and towards nationalism, and they served as incubators or facilitators just as much as inhibitors of nationalizing societies. <br \/>At this conference, we intend to bring together and reflect on bottom-up perspectives on nationhood and ethnicity. By mixing perspectives and methods, we intend to grasp the role of ethnicization and nationalization in the state-building processes of post-Habsburg successor states in the most practical terms, that is, what it meant for individuals and local communities to engage with a new form of statehood. Taking small-scale case studies that reveal mechanisms of adjustment, adaptation, and adoption\u2014and which bring forth the social and political dynamics behind these\u2014we hope to deconstruct narratives of ethnicization and nationalization that have been taken for granted. At the same time, we will attempt to map out nationally-centered societies in structural terms (i.e., relating ethnicity to socio-economic class, visibility and invisibility of people, and so on), the institutionalization and normalization of national identifications, alternative forms of identification, and so forth, for a better understanding of the local processes that were happening within the context of an accelerating nationalization in postimperial East Central Europe more broadly. Therefore, our ultimate question is not whether people were nationalized or not; instead, we focus on what ethnicity meant in local and regional imperial and post-imperial contexts.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1323\" src=\"https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n-1024x537.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n-1024x537.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n-768x403.jpg 768w, https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n-1536x805.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/1918local.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/252690607_2908466576130385_7647459481677932263_n.jpg 1736w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h1>Program<\/h1>\n<p>(All times are CET)<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2>November 3, 2021<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9:15 Opening<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n<h3>Panel 1<br \/>Below the Nation?<\/h3>\n<p>9:30\u20139:50<br \/><strong>Cody J .Inglis:<\/strong> Defection from the Nation?
