In fact, nationalism thinks in terms of historical fatalism, while racism dreams of eternal pollution handed down from time in a never-ending series of disgusting matings—which happened in outside of history.
The roots of the racist dream lie in fact in the ideology of classes, not of nations: especially the rulers' claim to divine mandate and "blue" or "white" blood, and the aristocracy's claim to "education" claims. No wonder that the supposed ancestor of modern racism was not some petty-bourgeois nationalist but Joseph Arthur, Comte de Gobineau. Overall, racism and anti-Semitism do not cross ethnic lines, but emerge within them. In other words, what they want to justify is not so much external wars as internal oppression and domination.
Quoted from Chapter 8: Patriotism and Racism
A nation is an imagined political community.
There are two important historical conditions for this kind of imagination to be possible:
One is the decline of religious communities, dynasties, and oracle-style concepts of time, leading people to imagine nations as a "secular, horizontal, and horizontal" community, and a new concept of time—"homogeneous, empty, The "view of time. Moreover, the emergence of newspapers and novels also provided technical means for the promotion of the concept of nation, that is to say, the concept of nation was first imagined through words.
The second is the need for "the coincidence of capitalism, printing technology, and the diversity of human language destiny." Latin, as the language used by religion, gradually declined with the decline of religious status, followed by the rise of dialect printing language, and printing dialect became popular with the writing carrier, which led to the formation of special groups of people using the same dialect. Cognitive community, this is the prototype of "nation".
Arguments from imagined communities
The coincidence of capitalism, printing technology, and the multiplicity of human language fate makes a new form of imagined community possible, and from its basic form, this new community is actually a precursor to the appearance of the modern nation. The stage is set.
The very concept of a newspaper implicitly implies that even "world events" are refracted into the particular imagination of a dialect readership; How important is the concept of simultaneity to an imagined community… (més)
