This new edition contains the latest information about NISE’s ‘Nationalism and Tourism’ conference (Vilnius, 15-16 May) as well as the recently published volume of Studies on National Movements (SNM), nr. 12.
You can read and download HERE volume 12 of Studies on National Movements (SNM), NISE’s peer reviewed journal.
Among others, this volume presents articles emanating from the NISE conference on “Nationalism and World Fairs” (Vienna, 31st May – 1st June, 2023), and offers new articles for the usual SoN, Archival, Digital Humanities and Book Reviews chapters.
Last Friday, 10 November, the prestigious Nottebohm room in Antwerp appeared full on an event that attracted historians, academics, researches, people from the cultural and the education sectors and many others.
The 2023 NISE Lecture offered the audience a discussion from an international comparative perspective about the historical canons from The Netherlands, Denmark and Flanders. The three invited speakers: Frits van Oostrom, Susan Legêne and Emmanuel Gerard, explained the respective canons and, moderated by Rolf Falter, entered into a lively and interesting discussion which was followed by an animated Q&A moment engaging the diverse public in the debate.
The price, worth 1000€, was given to Tim van Gerven for his thesis “Scandinavism. Overlapping and Competing Identities in the Nordic World 1770 – 1919”.
His thesis got the unanimous vote of the jury as the best competing thesis for the price.
NISE thanks all the participants for their time and effort!

More than 15 years after its Dutch counterpart, the Canon of Flanders -the frame of reference of the Flemish culture and history- is today a reality.
The process of developing and completing the Flemish canon has not lacked heated internal controversy and debate.
In order to shed some more light to the topic, NISE will offer in its 2023 NISE Lecture a discussion from an international comparative perspective about the historical canons from The Netherlands, Denmark and Flanders, for which we count on renown experts in each case.

30th May. NISE Day
30th May was devoted to NISE matters. Different statutory and non statutory bodies of the organisation held their meetings that day in a pretty hectic but enjoyable and confortable environment. Among others, NISE’s Members Council took place, with a high number of participants and a vivid feedback of information. The meetings of the SNM editorial board, the Archival Core Group (ACG) and the Scientific Core Group (SCG) were also held. All the meetings were hybrid in order to facilitate a broad participation.

We have launched a Special edition of the NISELetter which focuses its attention in the upcoming NISE Conference on “Nationalism and World Fairs” to be held in Vienna, on 31st May – 1st June 2023.
The articles included in this issue have all been attributed a Digital Object Identifyer (DOI), and so have articles of all previous SNM issues.
This important element will help SNM get better indexed in the relevant online searching engines, so articles and their authors reach a much broader public interested in nationalism and national movements in Europe.
