{"product_id":"82605-horror-patriae-the-return-of-toxic-nationhood","title":"Horror Patriae: The Return of Toxic Nationhood","description":"Nationalism is making a spectacular comeback. Tribalism, particularism, and local patriotism are readily embraced across the entire political spectrum. As the order established after the Cold War crumbles, the nation appears as a refuge. Yet it remains an illusion, an “imagined community” as Benedict Anderson put it. Horror Patriae, the 2024 edition of steirischer herbst, explored nostalgic and imaginary constructions of the nation, contrasting them with neglected and suppressed stories of strange encounters, hybrids, and happy mixtures. In a combination of essays and conversations, the festival's reader examines the new nationalisms and how to resist them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEkaterina Degot (1958, Moscow) is an art historian, researcher, and curator.
