Benedict Anderson

    26. August 1936 – 13. Dezember 2015

    Benedict Anderson ist bekannt für seine Untersuchungen zum Nationalismus, insbesondere für sein einflussreiches Werk über die Entstehung und Verbreitung von „imaginären Gemeinschaften“. Seine Analysen tauchen tief in die kulturellen und historischen Wurzeln nationaler Identitäten ein und untersuchen, wie diese Identitäten in der modernen Welt geschmiedet und aufrechterhalten werden. Andersons Ansatz betont oft die Rolle von Medien, Sprache und gemeinsamen Erzählungen bei der Förderung von Zugehörigkeitsgefühl und nationalem Bewusstsein. Seine Arbeit bleibt entscheidend für das Verständnis der Dynamik des Nationalismus und seiner Auswirkungen auf die globale Politik.

      Benedict Andersons bekanntes Buch erfreut sich ungebrochener Popularität und erscheint hier in der dritten Auflage. Nach Anderson gibt es keine Nationen, die „Nation“ ist eine Erfindung, ein Modell, das nur in bestimmten historischen Konstellationen möglich war. Er löste damit Debatten aus, die bis heute nicht abgeschlossen sind. Beim ersten Erscheinen der deutschen Ausgabe 1988 wurde Anderson vorgeworfen, dass seine Perspektive außereuropäisch und kulturanthropologisch sei. Heute macht gerade das den Reiz des Buches aus.

      This “sparkling” and world-famous work examines what drives people to live, die, and kill in the name of nations—revealing the surprising origins and development of nationalism (The Guardian). The full magnitude of Benedict Anderson’s intellectual achievement is still being appreciated and debated. Imagined Communities remains the most influential book on the origins of nationalism, filling the vacuum that previously existed in the traditions of Western thought. Cited more often than any other single English-language work in the human sciences, it is read around the world in more than thirty translations. Written with exemplary clarity, this illuminating study traces the emergence of community as an idea to South America, rather than to nineteenth-century Europe. Later, this sense of belonging was formed and reformulated at every level, from high politics to popular culture, through print, literature, maps and museums. Following the rise and conflict of nations and the decline of empires, Anderson draws on examples from South East Asia, Latin America and Europe’s recent past to show how nationalism shaped the modern world.
