Reconceptualizing Political Community: Legitimacy, Boundaries, and the State Across Time

Sun, August 9, 10:00 to 11:30am, TBA

Session Submission Type: Paper Session (90 minute)

Description

This session brings together historical and theoretical work that rethinks how political communities are constituted—through religious frontiers, imperial and national forms of sovereignty, emergent state structures, and symbolic struggles over legitimacy. Together, the papers challenge linear narratives of modernity and unitary notions of the state, offering new ways to understand how “the people” and their others are produced and governed over time.
