Abstract :
This article, in line with recent studies in the literature on nationalism, aims to contribute to the modernity-centered attempts to explain nation and nationalism that take center stage in the relevant literature. Accordingly, the article, unlike modernist theories approach to nation and nationalism based on the phenomena such as indus-trialization, urbanization, and social mobilization, which are the basic social dynamics of modernity, approaches to nation and nationalism within the context of the criticism of modernity and the concept of discourse. In this context, with an aim to revisit first the criticisms of modernity and then nationalism taking the Michel Foucault s definition of “discourse” as starting point, the article contains analyses on the nature of nation-alist discourse that refers to nationalism and national identity in general, as well as analyses on daily life‟ and gender–two new approaches of nationalist discourse–in particular.
