Course Description: This course investigates the ‘victimhood nationalism’ that I coined as a conceptual tool to understand the nationalism as a transnational phenomenon in the 21st century. With the rise of the global civil society or transnational public sphere, nationalist discourse began to shift from the heroic one to the victimhood during the struggle for recognition in the global memory space. Focused on the competing memories of the victimhood in the transnational and transregional memory space, the seminar will probe this concept of ‘victimhood nationalism,’ taking a closer empirical look on Korea, Japan, Germany, Poland and Israel (and perhaps China) in a transnational and comparative perspectives. The seminar thus not only provides an in-depth and unusually wide overview of the post-war period, but also critically discusses some of the main historiographical narratives and their intellectual origins.
