Abstract

Nationalism is a principle implying a correspondence between political and national units. It can be a movement of anger or liberation. For a long time the prerogative of philosophy and political science, nationalism now occupies a central place in anthropology, which has renewed its understanding through research on its manifestation in vernacular languages, and the role of the body, emotions and agency of social actors in the creation of national allegiances.
