这是本尼迪克特·安德森的畅销书和极具影响力的想象社区（1983/1996）的批判性讨论。这本书是位于马克思主义的审议的关键话题的国家和民族主义的传统，这两者都被认为是高度有问题的关系到无产阶级革命的前景。本文讨论了这一理论在马克思主义之外产生巨大影响的方式，特别提到了象征互动主义的一些主要特征。文章的最后一部分讨论了马克思主义的普遍局限性和对民族主义的更广泛研究。在这方面，有人认为，在对构成整个世界的“单位”进行任何似是而非的讨论之前，必须有一个全球视野。这一愿景是通过调用制图和地图制作来展示的。这些特征被认为是全球文化和意识的特征，因此强烈批评安德森和大多数全球化理论家在工作中对连通性的强调。
This is a critical discussion of Benedict Anderson’s best selling and highly influential Imagined Communities (1983/1996). This book is located within the Marxist tradition of deliberation on the crucial topic of nationhood and nationalism, which were both regarded as highly problematic in relation to the prospects for proletarian revolution. The manner in which this came to be very influential outside Marxism is discussed, in particular reference to some major features of symbolic interactionism. The final portion of the article deals with the considerable limitations of Marxism in general and the wider study of nationalism. In this respect it is argued that a global vision must necessarily precede any plausible discussion of the “units” that constitute the world as a whole. This vision is demonstrated through invocation of cartography and mapmaking. These are characterized as features of global cultures and consciousness, thereby strongly criticizing the emphasis on connectivity both in the work of Anderson and of most globalization theorists.
