SPIN - Study Platform on Interlocking Nationalisms

SPIN aims to chart the cultural and historical root system of European nationalisms and to bring into focus those intellectual networks which carried and disseminated the emerging ideals of cultural nationalism in the Romantic period and in the long nineteenth century (1770-1914).

The Study Platform on Interlocking Nationalisms was established in 2008 as a collaborative enterprise between the University of Amsterdam and the Huizinga Institute (Netherlands Research Institute and Graduate School for Cultural History). It was funded by the Spinoza Prize, which in 2008 was awarded to SPIN director Joep Leerssen, initially for a four-year period (later extended indefinitely). Substantial extra input was established when the Academy Professorship Prize was awarded to Leerssen in 2010, which made it possible to tackle (alongside SPIN’s initial focus on textual cultural production) the crucially important but elusive and complex field of music.
