Materializing the nation in Sweden and America*

Abstract

How has the international ideology of nationalism been used for a differentiating culture‐building in shifting national settings'? This article develops a comparative and historical framework to discuss the when, where, how, and why of the national experience, the arenas and situations in which national identity and sharing are materialized, expressed, or contested. The constant remaking of “the national” in Sweden is contrasted with the American experience, with a focus on everyday practice rather than on rhetoric.
