最近关于国家、身份和归属的情感方面的工作往往忽视了不适,而倾向于相同和安全的积极体验。与这种趋势相反,本文基于对伦敦郊区的英国白人中产阶级的采访叙述,研究了不适在建国经历中的作用,以及这种不适的性质和意义。在论文的第一部分,我展示了民族性是如何在与他人、地点和物体的不舒服的接触中以及通过这种不舒服的接触而形成的。然后,在第二部分,我展示了,对于一些人来说,在与“他者”相遇时成为国民的经历本身,在后殖民时期的英国背景下,人们被期望“爱自己的不同”,这是如何令人不安的。一方面,这篇论文挑战了特权民族归属是完全舒适的观念。然而,该分析也揭示了英国白人的国家身份相对舒适。本文对当代国家的不平衡和等级本质提供了重要的见解,并强调了在情感民族主义研究中关注舒适和不舒适的纠缠的价值。
Recent work on the affective dimensions of nationhood, identity and belonging has often overlooked discomfort in favour of positive experiences of sameness and security. Contrary to this tendency, this paper, based on interview narratives produced with white British middle-class people in the suburbs of London, examines the role of discomfort in experiences of nationhood, as well as the nature and meaning of that discomfort. In the first part of the paper, I demonstrate how nationhood becomes in and through uncomfortable encounters with other people, places and objects. Then, in the second part, I show how, for some, the experience of becoming national in encounters with the ‘other’ is itself experienced uncomfortably in the context of a postcolonial Britain where people are expected to ‘love themselves as different’. On the one hand, the paper challenges the idea of privileged national belonging as wholly comfortable. Yet, the analysis also exposes the relative comfort of white British people’s nationhood. The paper offers important insight into the uneven and hierarchical nature of contemporary nationhood and highlights the value of attending to the entanglement of comfortanddiscomfort in work on affective nationalism.
