This book is about a divided nation and polarized nationhood. Its
principal purpose is to examine division and polarization as forms
of imagining that are configured within culture and framed by
history. This is what bivocality signifies-two distinct discursive
voices through which nationhood is articulated; voices that are
nonetheless grounded in a culturally common symbolic field. The
volume offers an ethnographically centered analysis of the ways in
which Georgians make use of these voices in critical discourses of
nationhood. By illuminating the cultural semantics behind these
discourses, Nutsa Batiashvili offers a new constellation of
conceptual terms for understanding modern forms of nationalism and
nation-building in the marginal or liminal landscapes between the
Orient and the Occident.
