| Resumo: | National symbols play important socio-political roles in modern nation-states and are deeply embedded in struggles for state power. The main objective of this work is to present a description of the historical context involving the invention of national symbols. The theoretical perspective adopted in this work is the one provided by the modernist paradigm (HOBSBAWM, 1989, 1992; SMITH, 1991). The study demonstrates that national symbols were created as an essential tool for the spread and development of the nationalist ideology and for making the masses of people establish a relation of identification with their nation-states. |
