<\/font><\/p>\n

This workshop tackles one of the crucial issues in research on nations and nationalism, namely the question of how \u2018ordinary people\u2019 have come to identify with the nation. The particular challenge this research has faced in the past decades is how to reconcile the culturally oriented, constructivist approaches to social-historical perspectives. A possible way forward is offered by the concept of \u2018national indifference\u2019.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

This concept has been pioneered by historians working on late nineteenth and early twentieth century Central Europe (mainly the Austrian part of the Habsburg empire). Their main thrust is that the nationalist struggle in the Habsburg state was not driven by mass fervour for the nation, but rather its opposite: indifference, ambivalence and opportunism of \u2018ordinary people\u2019 when dealing with issues of nationhood and with claims made by nationalists. The populace was not \u2013 as previously assumed \u2013 under the general spell of sub-state nationalism.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

These scholars have followed Rogers Brubaker\u2019s call not to view national identities as the logical outcome of an already existing ethnic identity, nor to conceptualize the \u2018nation\u2019 as a real group, but rather \u201cas practical category, institutionalized form, and contingent event\u201d. (Brubaker, 1996: 7) By focussing on the indeterminate identification of \u2018ordinary Austrians\u2019, their bilingualism and their indifference towards nationalist appeals, these scholars have clearly demonstrated the constructedness of ethnicity. In this sense they take the constructivist paradigm one step further and are a critique of Anthony D. Smith\u2019s ethno-symbolist position: nationalists do not only create the nation, but also the ethnic and linguistic substrate on which they ground their nation. The concept of \u2018national indifference\u2019 also implies a critique of Miroslav Hroch\u2019s developmental scheme of small national movements, and more specifically of the timing of the advent of mass nationalism in Hroch\u2019s phase C. According to the proponents of \u2018national indifference\u2019 there was no mass breakthrough of nationalism in the Habsburg empire before the First World War. It was the general breakdown of society because of the war that created the conditions for the \u2018massification\u2019 of small national movements.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

The concept of \u2018national indifference\u2019 takes issue with (at least three) traditions within the historiography on nations and nationalism. First, it offers a critique of the teleological slant in much literature, which has tended to reproduce the narrative of nation-building as a relentless modernisation process turning peasants into \u2018nationals\u2019. The point of addressing national indifference is to direct scholarly attention away from the explicit purveyors of nationalism and to explore the limits of nationalization, rather than its success. By doing so, these historians question how national identity has become such a strong focal point of identification throughout the 19th and 20th centuries.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Secondly, the concept of \u2018national indifference\u2019 aims to provide an \u2018empirical and social turn\u2019 to the constructivist paradigm. Scholars investigating national indifference claim not to focus on the construction of national discourses by politicians at the national level or in published, easily accessible sources, but also in the murky complex reality of everyday life at the local level on the basis of archival materials in small, often neglected places.<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

Thirdly, \u2018national indifference\u2019 goes to the heart of one of the crucial methodological issues within nations and nationalism research. According to Zahra and Judson, nationalists\u2019 attempts to influence ordinary people\u2019s behaviour with their public discourse, were counter-productive. \u2018Commoners\u2019 reacted with national indifference and refused to accept the hard boundaries nationalists drew between \u2018us\u2019 and \u2018them\u2019. In other words, a widespread nationalist discourse need not necessarily reflect its successful interiorisation by ordinary people. Michael Billig\u2019s theory of banal nationalism is in a sense the opposite of \u2018national indifference\u2019. Billig assumes that widespread nationalist discourses have an nationally integrative effect on the audience. In other words, we are confronted with two opposite theories that have both important methodological implications, namely \u2018what do widespread nationalist discourses tell us about the attitude of broader reaches of society?\u2019<\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/p>\n


<\/font><\/p>\n

This workshop wants to evaluate the innovative potential of \u2018national indifference\u2019, without losing sight of the critique levelled at it. What are its strengths and weaknesses? How valid is the thesis about the absence of a massive breakthrough of nationalism before WWI for the Habsburg Empire and beyond? Can the concept be adapted outside Central Europe, for instance in the so-called \u2018historic nation-states of Western Europe\u2019 (thus overcoming the East-West dichotomy in much nations and nationalism research)? What about other European regions? Scandinavia, the Balkans, the Mediterranean, Eastern Europe? Is its temporal application range limited to the late nineteenth-early twentieth centuries? In other words is national indifference a historical category that could be sustained only for a certain period? Does its viability expire with the advent of mass democratization? Or is it usable for earlier\/later historical periods too? Could national indifference, for instance, survive in the \u2018established\u2019 nation-states of the second half of the twentieth century? Is it revived by the globalisation wave of the twenty-first century? Does \u2018national indifference\u2019 evolve throughout time? How should we historicize it? Can the concept be productively used in other fields than history, for instance in sociology or political science? How does the concept of \u2018national indifference\u2019 relate to other concepts such as cosmopolitanism or supra-nationalism? How does it square with regional, primarily non-national identities such as the Walloon, Moravian, Bavarian, Tyrolean or Goral regionalisms? How does \u2018national indifference\u2019 relate to religious and political identities that challenged nationalist mobilization (e.g. Roman-Catholicism in Bohemia or radical socialism and Marxism)? Can it help us to better evaluate the potential of other nationalist concepts that mobilized broad strata of the population?Volksgemeinschaft, for instance, was a particularly effective mechanism of participation and exclusion in the first half of the 20th century. What can \u2018national indifference\u2019 tell us about the character and nature of the \u2018nation-states\u2019 originating from the ruins of the multi-national empires after 1918 and their development throughout the 20th century?        <\/span><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
