Nation and nationalism are in many ways peculiar and elusive concepts that could very easily be interpreted as being both \u2019banal\u2019 and infinitely complex; primordial and modern; imagined and real. Since belonging to a specific national group can be seen as an important source of collective strength for many, solidarity of these collectives may serve as the basis for action to further strengthen these (imagined) bonds. The process itself, more often than not, assumes the existence of another, equally potent, equally solidary collective \u2013 most often irreducibly distinct from ours. This positioning which comes part and parcel with the idea of the nation \u2013 more so with nationalism \u2013 seems to centre around the idea of enmity: the antipode of solidarity among those who belong to \u2018Us\u2019. Enmity, as well as solidarity, is thus one of the cornerstones of the \u2018practicing of nation\u2019, something which shapes and perpetuates nation as a political identitary framework.<\/font><\/p>\n
