A identidade nacional portuguesa: conteúdo e relevância
This article discusses the relative merits of the instrumentalist and primordialist theses concerning the roles of the State and the nation in the production of contemporary national identities, as well as presenting a brief genealogy of Portuguese national identity. However, the attempt to anchor this identity in a purported "national character" reveals the reductionism and normative dimension of identitary ideology. The research is thus reoriented towards the relevance of national sentiment in current Portuguese society, observing that this sentiment constitutes a relevant symbolic resource, particularly for purposes of political mobilization.
