In the long nineteenth century, public discourses on family and nation grew together. They sustained each other, cutting through the traditional divisions of public and private, male and female. Drawing on debates on gender and nation, and using a large number of different sources – juridical, parliamentary, literary, iconographical as well as historiographical, this comparative essay develops a wide-ranging comparison which focuses on the United States, France, Germany, and Italy. It highlights the role of family objects for banal nationalism.

Abstract
In the long nineteenth century, public discourses on family and nation grew together. They sustained each other, cutting through the traditional divisions of public and private, male and female. Drawing on debates on gender and nation, and using a large number of different sources – juridical, parliamentary, literary, iconographical as well as historiographical, this comparative essay develops a wide-ranging comparison which focuses on the United States, France, Germany, and Italy. It highlights the role of family objects for banal nationalism.File in questo prodotto:
