Everyday nationalism in individualised political practices. Young left-wing Basque nationalists experiencing the nation in changing times

This article is based on a qualitative case study focusing on the ways in which young left-wing nationalists in the Basque Country experience the nation in different areas of their lives, outside of political organisations. The analysis shows, on the one hand, the emergence of individualisation processes of youth practices in the current project of reconstruction and reformulation of left-wing Basque nationalism and the incorporation of these practices into everyday life. On the other hand, it confirms the diversification of meanings attributed to the nation, which runs parallel to the inclusion of global political agendas of the contemporary social movements in this current of nationalism, and the plurality of interests and positions which the different young nationalists use to assert their agency.
