nationalism: Nationalism, in its broadest sense, is a devotion to one’s own nation and its interests over those of all other nations. The term can also refer to a doctrine or political movement that holds that a nation - usually defined in terms of ethnicity or culture - has the right to constitute an independent or autonomous political community based on a shared history and common destiny. The quest for national hegemony has inspired millennia of imperialism and colonisation, while struggles for national liberation have resulted in many revolutions. In modern times, the nation-state has become the dominant form of societal organization.

nationality: Nationality affords the state jurisdiction over the person, and affords the person the protection of the state. Conversely if one does not have the ‘appropriate’ nationality in certain states one does not necessarily have protection. We want to consider nationality not in order to accept the limits of the term but rather to engage with the fact that we live in a real concrete legal political situation in which we are governed subjects. What the notion of the nation state and nationality includes, assumes, evokes and negates are all points of interest for us in this project.
