	Benedict Anderson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Anderson is professor emeritus of International Studies at Cornell University.
		Anderson similarly places the roots of the notion of 'nation' at the end of the 18th century.
		Anderson supposes that ’antiquity’ were, at a certain historical juncture, the necessary consequence of ‘novelty’.

	FIRST THINGS: On the Square
		Death threats issued to Pope Benedict XVI, Muslims burning the Pope in effigy, promises to conquer Rome and slit the throats of Christians, at least seven churches in the region of Palestine torched, a nun murdered in front of a children’s hospital in Somalia, claims of Benedict participating in a U.S.-Israeli conspiracy against Islam.
		Benedict was challenging both those who have relegated religion to the realm of personal superstition and thus embraced agnosticism or atheism, and those who have pictured God as will detached from reason and thus embraced a version of Islam that can condone violence and terror.
		Benedict was arguing that both have failed to appreciate the true grandeur of man as a participant in the being of God and thus failed to grasp the centrality of human reason.

		Benedict Richard O'Gorman Anderson was born on August 26, 1936 in Kunming, China to James O'Gorman and Veronica Beatrice Mary Anderson.
		This study, in which Anderson argues that "discontented army officers, rather than Communists, were responsible for [the] coup" and questions the military government's claims to legitimacy (Language 8) became known as the "Cornell Paper" in 1966, and it caused Anderson to be barred from Indonesia indeterminately.
		Anderson defines Creole states (new world colonies) as communities that were formed and led by people who shared a common language and common descent with those against whom they fought (47).

		Anderson claims that print-capitalism provided the means by which people could first ‘imagine’ a community and secondly identify with this greater community via the advanced means of communication, regardless of the anonymity of the other members.
		Anderson does not propose a derivation of this kind, but his central thesis is that communication and media did facilitate the emergence of nations as imagined communities.
		Anderson also emphasizes the importance of the elite. He points out that intelligentsias are central to the rise of nationalism.

	Imagined communities - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The imagined community is a concept coined by Benedict Anderson which states that a nation is a community socially constructed and ultimately imagined by the people who perceive themselves as part of that group.
		As Anderson puts it, a nation "is imagined because the members of even the smallest nation will never know most of their fellow-members, meet them, or even hear of them, yet in the minds of each lives the image of their communion".
		Benedict Anderson falls into the "historicist" or "modernist" school of nationalism along with Ernest Gellner and Eric Hobsbawm in that he posits that nations and nationalism are products of modernity and have been created as means to political and economic ends.

		Anderson deftly identifies the forces that forge a nation?an "imagined community" frequently incongruent with the state?from a group of people sharing some degree of common heritage.
		Anderson also highlights the forces inhibiting the coalescence of a regional consciousness and the formation of a regional political bloc.
		While Benedict Anderson is best known for his classic book on nationalism, Imagined Communities, many of his most telling and incisive interventions have been made in his essays.

	ARTicles: Mute -- Imagined Affinities? Benedict Anderson's Pre-History of Globalisation
		Benedict Anderson’s Under Three Flags presents a history told in terms of action at a distance, where events, people and political movements are subject to forces darkly exerting their power across seas and continents, rather like the moon affecting water or the stars’ gravitational mass accumulating and compacting cosmic material.
		Anderson is delighted, for this signals the continuation of a tradition that he sees established in the 19th century.
		Anderson’s twists and turns through world culture are diverting, in all senses, but might only be non-consequential parades of learning — that is to say, his head a pomegranate crammed full with the jewels of culture, his ‘brilliant’ thoughts have burst out onto the pages.

		Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities is one of the most important and influential books on the phenomenon of nationalism currently in print.
		Anderson's sources appear outdated to those reading this text today, since his sources have been dated as far back as the mid-19th century (the first edition of Anderson's book was published in 1983).
		Anderson's sources provide great insight into the minds of people from the past though his liberal bias appears to be preachy in almost every chapter of his book.

		With due credit to Benedict Anderson's insightful and unorthodox anthropological approach to the "origins and spread of nationalism," Imagined Communities still proves to fall short of applying helpfully to the study of modern Arab history.
		One can argue that the negative connotations associated with "near-pathological" nationalism (that Anderson delineates succinctly at the beginning of chapter 8), including zealousness and racism, are a product of the European forms of nationalism that emerged from the onslaught of capitalism and which were only officially "defined" at the end of the 19th century.
		Anderson would be well-served to distance himself from his own critique and offer an opinion about how else the world is to be conceived in modern times, or how else the struggling Third World can respond to their oppressors without using the very same language that cursed them for so many years.

		Anderson's argument, particularly the section most well-known to his readers, is that the ability of those living in a particular place to read in their own language (as against Latin, Arabic, Sanskrit or Chinese) began this process.
		Anderson says that theorists of nationalism have encountered three paradoxes: (1)The objective modernity of nations in the eye of the historian vs. their subjective antiquity in the eye of nationalists.
		Benedict Anderson's Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism strikes at the root of national pride by denying the existence of the nation altogether.

		Through the collective consumption of mass-produced texts – through the ritual of reading newspapers and books – individuals were able to form an “image of their communion” (6) without ever meeting each other in person.
		For Anderson, the nation is a social construction.
		While the situations might be fictional, they have real implications for the collective imagination of a people, according to Anderson.

	Benedict Anderson - Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism -
		In this important work, Benedict Anderson focuses a much-needed clear eye on nationalism as cultural artefact, created and transformed through historical processes--a fated and thus pure attachment experienced every day through the connections language forges with a living and dead community.
		In selecting the genealogy of "thinking" the nation, Anderson chooses his trajectory well--thankfully reading not only from the social history of Europe, but also from the experiences of its colonies and other states across the globe (the armed conflicts of 1978--79 Indochina provided the immediate impetus for the original 1983 text).
		It is especially these states which Anderson's later revisions address, with his wise realisation that so-called "official nationalism" in colonised Asia and Africa was not transplanted without intervention from that of the dynastic states of 19th-century Europe.

	Interview with Benedict Anderson about nationalism and globalisation
		Benedict Anderson: "I have a relationship to my book Imagined Communities as to a daughter who has grown up and run off with a bus driver."
		Anderson attaches importance to modern communication, by way of books, the telephone and more recently radio and TV, as a condition for the existence of a national community.
		One thing that fascinates Benedict Anderson the most is how nationalism evolves along with other developments in society.

		Anderson's knowledge of a vast range of relevant historical literature is most impressive; his presentation of the gist of it both masterly and lucid.
		The novels cover a vast period, beginning with the conquest of the Iberian peninsula in the 8th century, via the liberation of Jerusalem by the armies of Saladin in the 12th century, to the rise and decline of the Ottoman Empire.
		Anderson's essay shows how the European processes of inventing nationalism were transported to the Third World through colonialism and were adapted by subject races in Latin America and Asia.

	Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism - Benedict Anderson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-17)
		In this widely acclaimed work, Benedict Anderson examines the creation and global spread of the 'imagined communities' of nationality.
		Anderson explores the processes that created these communities: the territorialization of religious faiths, the decline of antique kingship, the interaction between capitalism and print, the development of vernacular languages-of-state, and changing conceptions of time.
		He shows how an originary nationalism born in the Americas was modularly adopted by popular movements in Europe, by the imperialist powers, and by the anti-imperialist resistances in Asia and Africa.

		The basic premise of Anderson's theory is that the decline of religion made it possible new conceptions of time, which in turn made it possible to imagine the nation.
		Nationalism was thus, Anderson argues, the result of the fusion between the decline of religion, human diversity, the development of capitalism and the technology of print.

		And it shows how traditional institutions (such as European aristocracies, and later governments) reacted to change and attempted to solidify their institutional control.
		Especially interesting to me were Anderson’s discussions of the use of state-controlled education and propaganda in the colonies populated by European expansion, to influence native residents or, in some cases, to create a line of segregation between European colonizers and a region’s original inhabitants.
