Assignment 3 Readings.
On the uses and Implications of Constructionism. By: Yeros P. 1999
In the development of the study of ethnicity and nationalism, the concepts of ethnicity and nationhood are often considered to be distinct. Conventionally, ethnicity has been conceptualized within a continuum between primodialism and instrumentalism.
Meanwhile, nationalhood and nationalism have been understood as the process that either owned their existence to various dimension of modernity. The enlightenment, industrialization, capitalist social relations, print capitalism or state or to the determine resilience of ethnicity in conjunction with modern social-political circumstances.
One concept applied is” imagined community” developed by Benedict Anderson. It demonstrates the emergency of nationhood at the historical conjunction of capitalism and print technology.
Imagined community referred to as the departure for constructionism in the study of ethnicity and nationalism. The basic understanding of ethnicity and nationhood as the process that is socially constructed that is as products of human thought and action. The emphasis of social construction is, above all, an ecological one, and that stands opposed to primodialist imagining of the world. By this, it becomes immediately apparent that those who label themselves as constructionist, and hold true to the constructivist ontology, go on to draw diverse conceptualizations of society and politics in spelling out what construction actually consist in. thus constructivists disagree on what should be properly considered constructivist, and what should be its political significance. Constructivism today resembles a national in formation, busily invoking traditions and preoccupying itself with its origins, purpose and identity.
