TITLE		Cultural Intimacy - social poetics in the nation-state
AUTHOR		HERZFELD, Michael
DESCRIPTION		Why are certain features of national culture treated as disreputable, often the same features around which the loyalty of the nation’s citizens is secured? Explores the tensions between official models of culture & the lived experience of ordinary citizens- looks at Greece, the US, Western Europe, Africa & elsewhere. Looks at structures of ‘cultural intimacy’ and ‘structural nostalgia’—by which citizens are able to protect collective secrets that constitute their cultural intimacy and explain a more ideal past gone beoynd recall but not beyond mythic recollection.
