Kumar,  K.  2000.  NaLon  and  empire:  English  
and  BriLsh  naLonal  idenLty  in  comparaLve  
perspecLve.  Theory  and  Society  29  (5):  
575-­‐608.

Hegel  on  enLLes  revealing  themselves  truly  only  at  the  Lme  of  
their  dissoluLon.  Applicability  to  Britain,  for  only  aWer  its  empire  
has  “serious  aYenLon  turned  to  [its]  character.”  Despite  many  
excellent  forms  of  BriLsh  history,  there  has  been  liYle  aYenLon  
paid  to  the  nature  of  character  of  the  UK.    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

There  are  far  more  books  on  
what  it  means  to  be  Scoash  
or  Irish  than  what  it  means  
to  be  English.  One  of  
England’s  naLonal  self-­‐
percepLons  is  that  it  is  
different  from  other  
naLons,  especially  in  that  it  
is  not  naLonalisLc.  However  
this  is  a  maYer  of  self-­‐
congratulaLon.    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

The  English  have  tended  to  view  naLonalism  as  
“a  kind  of  pathology,  an  all-­‐consuming  sickness  
of  the  individual  and  naLonal  mind—in  George  
Orwell’s  words,  ‘power-­‐hunger  tempered  by  
self-­‐decepLon.’”  The  English  form  of  
naLonalism  can  be  described  as  atypical  or  
non-­‐naLonal  naLonalism.  That  said,  it  is  “the  
naLonalism  of  an  imperial  state—one  that  
carries  the  stamp  of  its  imperial  past  even  
when  the  empire  has  gone.  One  might  call  this  
an  ‘imperial  naLonalism.’”    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

The  whole  issue  of  naLonalism  has  only  
recently  concerned  the  BriLsh/English  since  
unLl  recently  they  were  too  occupied  with  
their  Empire.  Now  they  have  to  construct  a  
naLonalism  more  like  that  of  other  countries.  

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

Classic  naLonalism  requires  the  state  
(government)  and  naLon  (people)  to  be  one,  
as  a  naLon-­‐state,  though  most  naLon-­‐states  
contain  more  than  one  naLon.  Compared  to  
some  other  countries,  BriLsh  naLonalism  has  
more  ethnic  pluralism.    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

NaLonalism  has  also  been  a  prime  moLvaLon  for  
empire.  The  other  most  important  factor  is  war.  The  
BriLsh/English  form  of  naLonalism  is  both  
missionary  and  imperial.  That  is,  those  people  felt  
they  had  the  poliLcal,  cultural  or  religious  duty  to  
spread  their  system  via  Empire.    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

“The  English  were  an  imperial  naLon  in  a  
double  sense.  They  created  a  land  empire,  
Great  Britain  or  the  United  Kingdome,  formed  
by  the  expansion  of  England  from  its  posiLon  
in…  ‘the  East  AtlanLc  archipelago’.”  Just  aWer  
WWI  that  empire  covered  one  fiWh  of  the  
world’s  surface  and  one  quarter  of  its  
populaLon.    

HIN  4312-­‐15  Cultura  Británica,  Dr.  Jason  Kendall  Moore,  Universidad  de  Playa  Ancha,  Campus  San  Felipe,  Segundo  Semester  2013    

From  the  earliest  incarnaLon  of  the  UK,  
emphasis  was  to  think  of  ciLzens  as  Britons  
rather  than  English,  Welsh,  or  Scots.  (The  Irish  
were  always  a  separate  issue.)  The  separate  
idenLLes  persisted  but  the  use  of  the  term  
BriLsh  gained  widespread  usage.
