PALGRAVE STUDIES IN THE HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE ...

This open access book uses Finland in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries as an empirical
case in order to study the emergence  shaping and renewal of a nation through histories of
experience and emotions. It revolves around the following questions: What kinds of experiences
have engendered national mobilization and feelings of national belonging? How have political
and societal conflicts turned into new communities of experience and emotion? What kinds of
experiences have been integrated into  or excluded from  the national context in different
instances? How have people internalized or contested the nation as a context for their personal
family and minority-group experiences? In what ways has the nation entered and affected
people's intimate spheres of life? How have national experiences been transmitted to children
in the renewal of the nation? This edited collection points to the histories of experience and
emotions as a novel way of studying nations and nationalism. Building on current debates in
nationalism studies  it offers a theoretical framework for analyzing the historical
construction of lived nations  and introduces a number of new methodological approaches to
understand the experiences of the nation  extending from the investigation of personal
reminiscences and music records to the study of dreams and children's drawings.
