Abstract

Two things, which strictly speaking are just one, constitute [a nation]…. One is the past, the other is the present. One is the common possession of a rich legacy of memories; the other is the actual consent … to live together, the will to continue to value the heritage that has been received in common. … The nation, like the individual, is the outcome of a long and strenuous past of sacrifice and devotion…. An heroic past of great men, of glory…: this is the social capital on which a national idea is established. (Renan 1996: 57f.)
