Abstract EN:
The conception of nation as ideology allows the apprehension of its relativistic character by understanding it as a rational construction which task is, indeed, to give a meaning to collectivity, but a task in competition with rival ideologies. At the same time, such a comprehension points out the determinant dimension of nation, because it emphasizes its hability to be appropriated by various political strategies.
Abstract FR:
Considerer la nation comme ideologie permet de la relativiser en la comprenant en tant que construction rationnelle, certes chargee de donner un sens a la collectivite, mais s'opposant de ce fait a des ideologies concurrentes. En meme temps, une telle comprehension de la nation montre sa dimension determinante dans la mesure ou elle souligne sa capacite a etre appropriee par de multiples strategies politiques.
