Dear Listmembers,

Could anybody explain the notion of the "national imaginary"? Who said
this for the first time in a conceptual manner? I assume that Lacanian
"Imaginary" is translated in the national level, the collectively held
images that enable the integration of heterogeneous individuals into
homogeneously imagined national subjects. Your critical enunciation would
be appreciated.
