Marcel Gauchet on effacing national identity

The French historian and philosopher Marcel Gauchet, interviewed by Elisabeth Lévy, explains why the Nation State is decried. "As soon as politics is only an infrastructure, it is overlooked and not respected. The State is no longer a venerable collective superego, but rather a provider of services considered too expensive. More than ever, people are shut up in their national identities, but not on an aggressive mode, on a mode of tranquil obviousness. As if their national identity went without saying, they are no longer aware of it. Our supposedly cosmopolitan world is populated by provincials shut up in their local identities who consider themselves citizens of the world because they can press a button on a powerful machine, never aware of just how much it brings them. The unreal climate in Europe comes from the fact that our societies do not realise what they depend on and what allows them to function."
