The article critically assesses selected aspects of studies of nationalism and outlines themes and topics that are often overlooked or given only a marginal role in broader research of this phenomenon. While at first glance incompatible, these topics actually represent the core of the discussion, helping to highlight those antagonisms which research of nationalism has found itself involved in the last few decades, where a priori critics were found on one hand and partial defenders on the other. The article reveals views that see nationalism as a special genre of discourse, define the dichotomies that are some of the most recognisable features identified by different authors, offers some sociological classification of nationalism, and focuses on certain key concepts of selected theorists on nationalism - imagined communities, invented traditions and banal nationalism. Članek kritično obravnava nekatere izbrane vidike študij nacionalizma, pri čemer izpostavlja teme in vsebine, ki so pogosto spregledane oziroma v širšem raziskovanju tega fenomena ostanejo ob robu. Čeprav so na prvi pogled nekompatibilne, tovrstne teme v resnici predstavljajo srž diskusije, saj prispevajo k osvetljevanju tistih antagonizmov, v katere se je raziskovanje nacionalizma ujelo v preteklih desetletjih, ko so se na eni strani znašli vnaprejšnji kritiki, na drugi pa pristranski zagovorniki. V članku smo razgrnili poglede, ki nacionalizem obravnavajo kot zvrst diskurza, se opredelili do dihotomij, ki so ena prepoznavnejših lastnosti, po katerih različni avtorji razumevajo nacionalizem, predstavili tipizacije nacionalizma in se posvetili nekaterim ključnim konceptom izbranih teoretikov nacionalizma,kot so zamišljene skupnosti, izumljene tradicije in banalni nacionalizem. |
