“Daily, [nation-states] are reproduced as nations and their citizenry as nationals . . . For such daily reproduction to occur . . . a whole complex of beliefs, assumptions, habits, representations and practices must also be reproduced. Moreover, this complex must be reproduced in a banally mundane way, for the world of nations is the everyday world. . . Daily, the nation is indicated, or ‘flagged’, in the lives of its citizenry” (Michael Billig, Banal Nationalism 6).
“The construction of identity is a neverending and forever incomplete process, and must remain such to deliver on its promise (or, more precisely, to keep the promise of delivery credible)” (Zygmunt Bauman, Community 64).
