[Reading Club LIVE: Sat 14 June, 9am LA, 12am NY, 5pm London, 6pm Berlin]

In the third installment of this block on inter/nationalism in the 21st century, we take a look at the other side of nationalism, through scholar Stefaan Jansen's “Anti-nationalism: Post-Yugoslav Resistance and Narratives of Self and Society”.

• Who are the Somewheres and Anywheres in post-Yugoslavia?

• How does Jansen understand the marginalisation of anti-nationalism in Serbia and Croatia?

• Is understanding nationalism and anti-nationalism as discursive practices a useful lens for understanding post-Yugoslav identities?

• Why is the act of forgetting or misremembering significant in the context of post-Yugoslav anti-nationalist narratives?

• How did the contrast between pre-war Yugoslavia and post-war realities shape anti-nationalist identities?

• Must individuality be anti-nationalist?
