This article addresses the problems that arise when one tries to define the concept of "nation," with the purpose of elucidating the idea of national identity. There is an intrinsic relationship between the word "nation" & the history of nations. Thus, after analyzing the limitations of those definitions based only on either objective or subjective elements, it is suggested that the collective identity we call "nation" is not a primary fact, but an "invention," a social construction. Finally, the article points at some of the political consequences that arise from the polisemic nature of the concept of nation. Adapted from the source document.
