Horror Patriae: The Return of Toxic Nationhood
Horror Patriae, the 2024 edition of steirischer herbst, tackled nostalgic and imaginary constructions of nationhood, juxtaposing them with neglected and silenced stories of strange encounters, hybrids, and happy miscegenation.
Nationalism has made a spectacular comeback, with tribalism, particularism, and local pride embraced across the political spectrum. As the post-Cold War order erodes, the nation appears as a refuge, yet it remains an illusory one, an "imagined community," as Benedict Anderson put it. Combining essays and conversations, the festival's reader further examines the new nationalisms and how to resist them.
