Symbolism and Politics is a timely intervention into ongoing
debates around the function of political symbols in a historical
period characterized by volatile electoral behaviour, fragmented
societies in search of collective identifications, and increasingly
polarized political models. Symbols are central features of
organized human life, helping to define perception, shaping the way
we view the world and understand what goes on within it. But,
despite this key role in shaping understanding, there is never a
single interpretation of a symbol that everyone within the
community will accept, and the way in which symbols can mobilize
antagonistic political factions demonstrates that they are as much
a central element in power struggles as they are avenues to
facilitate processes of identification. This dual potential is the
object of discussion in the chapters of this book, which sheds new
light on our understanding of the political function of symbols in
a historical period. Symbolism and Politics will be of great
interest to scholars working on Political Symbols, Nationalism,
Regime Change and Political Transitions. The chapters originally
published as a special issue of Politics, Religion & Ideology.
