- The course is dealing with nationalism, its symbols and discourses in three countries: Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. All three countries, diverging in terms of stability, have witnessed considerable efforts to establish a modern nationhood, allowing them to participate in a global modernity. The course is trying to cover the differences between these three cases as well as the relations between them.
