Issue “Dynamics of Imperialism and Nationalism in Eurasia” inaugurates Ab Imperio’s 2023 annual thematic program, “Toward a Postnational History of Eurasia: Deconstructing Empires, Denationalizing Groupness.” The program focuses on themes such as the social mechanisms that enable and sustain universalism, diversity, and plural agencies; the nature of groupness and the epistemological ambiguity of posthumanism; and the constraints of temporal and spatial imaginations that continue to
