Abstract
This paper aims to develop a model for the ethno-nationalist incorporation of the space and time - that is of the geography and history - of ethnies considered as others by the etno-nationalis core of an emerging nation-state. It contends that one of the reasons for the recurring power and emotive force of nationalist discourse and practice stems from the disjunction between the complex history of a locality - exemplified in its material culture - and the homogenised present, which various strategies of ethno-nationalist incorporation have brouhgt about. Based on the anlysis of the empirical evidence of the case of the city of (Sanli) Urfa in Southeast Turkey, it argues that a 'spatial perspective' focusing on the locale might facilitate unveiling hitherto understudied aspects of local nationalisms, as well as the rather dark sides of most nation-building projects such as large-scale population exchanges or ethnic cleansing.
