IMAGINING POWER: HERMENEUTIC INSIGHTS INTO IMAGINED NATIONS AND THE LEGITIMATION OF POLITICAL AUTHORITY

Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the relationship between imaginary constructs of nations and the legitimation of political authority through hermeneutic analysis. By examining how symbolic, mythic, and narrative elements within political discourse create and sustain the concept of the nation, the study seeks to understand their role in legitimizing power. The aim is to provide a nuanced understanding of the mechanisms through which national identity and political legitimacy are intertwined and maintained.
