Marriage of state and culture, which seems the essence of the congruence between political power structure and collective identity, usually offers a simple explanation of loyalty and dissent. Loyalty is seen as once-and-for-all commitment of the individual to his or her nation, whereas betrayal is identified as a failure to commit him or herself to a common cause or as a diversion from the object of political loyalty and cultural/linguistic fidelity. For conservative or radical nationalists, even social and cultural critique of one's people and state can be regarded as treason, whereas for their liberal counterparts it is precisely what constitutes political awareness, civic virtue, and a conscious dedication to the people and culture. "This book is the first attempt to provide a discursive map of Lithuanian liberal and conservative nationalism. Analyzing the works and views of dissenters and critics of society and culture, we can reveal a mode of being of liberal nationalism as a social and cultural criticism. This volume is of interest for intellectual historians, social theorists, students of East-Central European thought, and anyone interested in Baltic studies and the new members of the EU. Dissent: act of betrayal, or loyalty? Leonidas Donskis' new remarkable study is one consistent, thorough and dedicated effort to provide an answer to that question." - Zygmunt Bauman (from the Preface). 410 0$aOn the Boundary of Two Worlds ;$v4. 517 3 $aModern Lithuania and East-Central European Moral Imagination 606 $aNationalism$zLithuania 606 $aNationalism 606 $aPolitics and government 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aNationalism. 615 0$aPolitics and government. 676 $a947.93 700 $aDonskis$b Leonidas$0765432 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910451490103321 996 $aLoyalty, dissent, and betrayal$92203045 997 $aUNINA
