Imagined Alberta: Western Canadian National Fantasies 47:42

19 weeks тому47:42

47:42

WARNING: This episode begins with slam poetry. Team Advantage subjects themselves to some favourite books of UCP ministers and Western Standard columnists in search of the intellectual basis for justifying an independent Albertan nation. We find bad poetry, absurd race science, and convenient economic motivations. We contend that there is a long-standing nationalist rhetorical tradition in this province, place this tradition within a broader history of nationalism, seek out it's through-lines and examine how such rhetoric spreads out from the writings of right-wing cranks and enters more mainstream discourse. Primary Sources Canada and Her Colonies by Alwyn Bramley-Moore The Unfinished Revolt by John Bar and Owen Anderson Mavericks by Aretha Van Herk Secondary Sources Imagined Communities by Benedict Anderson Nations and Nationalism since 1780 by Eric Hobsbawm Liberalism: A Counter-History by Domenico Losurdo Of Passionate Intensity by Trevor Harrison Dreamscapes of Modernity by Sheila Jasanoff and Sang-Hyun Kim Land as Pedagogy by Leanne Betasamosake Simpson Support this podcast!…
