This book analyses how politicians, scholars and artists have initiated and contributed to nation-building processes in Luxembourg since the nineteenth century, processes that ? as this book argues ? are still ongoing. The focus rests on three types of representations of nationhood: a shared past, a common homeland and a national language. History was written so as to justify the country's political independence. Territorial borders shifted meaning, constantly repositioning the national community. The local dialect ? initially considered German variant ? was gradually transformed into the 'national language', Luxembourgish. 410 0$aNational cultivation of culture ;$vv. 1. 606 $aNationalism$zLuxembourg 606 $aLuxembourgish language 606 $aLanguage policy$zLuxembourg 606 $aSociolinguistics$zLuxembourg 607 $aLuxembourg$xHistoriography 607 $aLuxembourg$xBoundaries 607 $aLuxembourg$xLanguages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aLuxembourgish language. 615 0$aLanguage policy 615 0$aSociolinguistics 676 $a949.350072 701 $aPe?porte?$b Pit$0921167 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459460503321 996 $aInventing Luxembourg$92066156 997 $aUNINA
