Banal Nationalism in everyday life

Did I say that? It turns out I did. I was nagged by this question as I read Sophie Duchesne's 'Who's afraid of Banal Nationalism?' because I found little to disagree with in her reading of Banal Nationalism or in her characterisation of the everyday nationhood scholarship. That&#...

description Did I say that? It turns out I did. I was nagged by this question as I read Sophie Duchesne's 'Who's afraid of Banal Nationalism?' because I found little to disagree with in her reading of Banal Nationalism or in her characterisation of the everyday nationhood scholarship. That's because it's the connection between the two that troubles her. For Duchesne, the problem is the everday nationhood scholarship is based upon a flawed, even apocryphal reading of Banal Nationalism, taking the book in directions Billig did not intend. I view things differently: the everyday nationhood agenda (if such a thing exists) is not trying to advance the aims of Banal Nationalism but is interested in pursuing its own agenda with respect to the everyday meanings and uses of nationalism. Everyday nationhood has at times taken inspiration from Billig's Banal Nationalism, picking up on lingering questions relevant for its own purposes. Everyday nationhood scholars can only go astray in their reading of Banal Nationalism if they're assumed to be Billig's acolytes. But they're not: they're too busy pursuing their own interests in the larger field of nationalism.
