This symposium provides a space for the interdisciplinary exploration of 
the complexities of nationhood and national identity. In recent years we 
have seen a rapid and deepening concern with the ways in which time and 
memory are implicated in processes of social and cultural change, 
particularly in relation to the role of media and communications 
technologies in personal, cultural and political domains. While research 
in this area has been dominated by narratives of acceleration the aim of 
this symposium is to take a more nuanced look at the various kinds of 
temporal experiences supported under the conditions of rapid change. See
