正如Peng Cheah所说，虽然“民族主义”“几乎已成为死亡的模范”，但死亡本身已成为国家的永恒形象。1墓穴和战争纪念馆等纪念碑所体现的国家认同感的基础往往是纪念性的，通过纪念逝者的损失和召唤死者的记忆来锻造。但国家认同感在其他方面也是幽灵般的。它千变万化、臭名昭著的无定式表达不仅是幻象，是对被认为是民族过去的返祖魔术，也是对想象中的国家未来的奇幻预测。正如本尼迪克特·安德森的著名论断，国家是通过想象的从属关系、对共同的身份和历史的情感幻想而形成的。2基于这一观察，最近的批评探索了国家身份和历史记忆之间类似的、有时是同时代的关系。
While ‘nationalism’, as Pheng Cheah observed, ‘has almost become the exemplary figure for death’, death itself has served as an abiding figure for the nation.1 Embodied by such monuments as tombs and war memorials, the foundations of national identity are often commemorative, forged through a memorialization of loss and invocation of the memory of the dead. But national identity is spectral in other ways as well. Its protean, notoriously amorphous expressions are not only phantasmic, the atavistic conjurations of an imputed national past, but also fantastic, the projections of an imagined national future. As Benedict Anderson has famously argued, nations come into being through imagined affiliation, affective fantasies of shared identity and history.2 Drawing on this observation, recent criticism has explored the analogous, and at times coeval, relation between national identity and historical memory.3
