Beschreibungen/Notizen
For the Corsicans and Bretons, French political nationalism essentially entailed an adaptation to French language and customs that left little room for autochthonous cultural traditions.3 At the same time, the process that Renan had defined as a daily plebiscite was not simply left to popular initiative, but relied on a thorough policy of national mobilization, as Eugen Weber demonstrated in his magisterial Peasants into Frenchmen.4 Civic participation, in turn, does not inherently conflict with cultural definitions of nationhood. Civic life frequently functions more smoothly in culturally homogenous societies, and it was hardly coincidental that the egalitarian social policies of the welfare state had their earliest and most comprehensive expressions in the countries of the Scandinavian north, in which a high degree of cultural coherence strengthened the sense of responsibility toward society's less fortunate.5 Conscious policies of nation-building and long-term cultural processes form a theoretical dichotomy that can be reflected in political reality.
