Territorial Identity: The Ambiguity of a Geographical Concept
Type de matériel :
TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2007.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Territorial identity, which is initially an individual feeling restricted to a small area, is instrumentalised politically, via a change of scale, in order to construct regional or national identities. The current debate on heritage is an attempt to provide a cultural justification to these constructs in order to perpetuate them. Democratic justifications may also be put forward, mainly as a bulwark against a universalisation of ideological conflicts. However, Europe's nation-states do not seem to be able to play this role.

Territorial identity, which is initially an individual feeling restricted to a small area, is instrumentalised politically, via a change of scale, in order to construct regional or national identities. The current debate on heritage is an attempt to provide a cultural justification to these constructs in order to perpetuate them. Democratic justifications may also be put forward, mainly as a bulwark against a universalisation of ideological conflicts. However, Europe's nation-states do not seem to be able to play this role.
