- Abstract: Much recent scholarship on nationality and nationalism suggests that modern nations were « constructed » by means of public education, national linguistic standards, or other instruments for « inventing » a homogeneous national culture. Among the most subtle and interesting tools used to forge these national cultures are public spectacles and commemorations such as World's Fairs. In this treatment of Chicago's World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, however, we find that often such examples of exhibitionary culture serve to highlight the limits of the process of nation-building. Contrary to the intentions of Chicago's elites and Exposition planners, the Chicago Exposition was characterized by strong resistance to official efforts to assimilate immigrants and repress local traditions and difference. More broadly, this treatment of the Chicago Exposition challenges those scholars who understand nationality exclusively in terms of homogeneity. Instead it suggests the importance of pluralism and difference in creating strong and cohesive nations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: Un grand nombre de travaux de recherche sur la nationalité et le nationalisme faits récemment ont laissé penser que les nations modernes se construisaient grâce à l'enseignement public, à des normes linguistiques nationales et à d'autres outils qui permettent d'« inventer » une culture nationale homogène. Parmi les instruments les plus intéressants et les plus subtils utilisés pour forger ces cultures nationales, il y a les fêtes et les commémorations publiques, telles que les Expositions Universelles. Pourtant, avec l'Exposition fédérale universelle organisée à Chicago en 1893 que nous présentons dans cet article, nous constatons que de tels exemples de culture d'exposition servent souvent de révélateurs des difficultés rencontrées dans la création d'une nation. Contrairement à ce que voulaient les élites de Chicago et les planificateurs de l'exposition, celle-ci s'est caractérisée par une forte résistance aux efforts des officiels qui cherchaient à assimiler les immigrés et à réprimer les différences et les traditions locales. Plus largement, cette façon de voir l'exposition de Chicago conteste la position des spécialistes qui ne comprennent la nationalité qu'en termes d'homogénéité. À la place, elle suggère l'importance du pluralisme et de la différence pour créer des nations fortes et unies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
