摘要:The centrality of the question of territoriality for the discussion about selfdetermination in nationalistic movements makes it specially appropriate to adopt a comparative perspective. This will allow us to show the similarities and the particularities among different cases studies. This paper compares Basque and «Québécois» nationalism by focusing on the role that territoriality plays in national identity. Firstly, it is argued that ethnic and civic concepts are unsuitable for classifying these nationalisms. This paper continues by showing the relevance and potentialities of comparing the Basque and «Québécois» cases. In particular we compare the representation of the national territory in each case, as well as its role for the national identity. Other questions are compared, e.g., the linkage between territory and others diacritic features, or the linkage between territorial integrity and sovereignty, Finally, the paper points out the «political role» that nationalism warrants to the territory in order to fulfil the political agenda of sovereignty.
