| Sumario: | This article explores the relation between left-wing sub-state nationalist movements and late modern prefigurative politics, a field of study little developed until now. The analysis is based on a case study on nationalist youth activism in the Basque Country, carried out by means of a qualitative methodological approach using in-depth interviews. The reformulations and adjustments of discourse in the post-ETA nationalist movement were addressed based on the meaning young people give to their political activity. The analysis reveals that the left-wing nationalist movement provides the social and political conditions necessary for developing new prefigurative politics, unlike the traditional politics of ethnic nation building. It likewise shows that, due to its previous contentious nature, nationalist ideology is sensitive to the different systems of oppression and is affected by the conflict agendas typical of late modernity, with the result that younger generations transfer global practices and discourses to the local level. |
