A Grand Theory
• Parsons' 'filing cabinet'
• Agnostic re source of changes
• About effects rather than causes
• Heuristic Device rather than positive theory
• Builds upon work of Zimmer (2003); Hutchinson (2005); Confino and others

Helps Clarify Major Issues
• Ideology and national identity• 'Ethnic-Civic' Nations• 'Nations before Nationalism'• Universalism (Islam, Neoconservatism) as
nationalism?• 'Nations as Zones of Conflict' (Hutchinson 2005)• Local vs National• Relationship between individual identity and
collective identity (ie. 'consumption v production')• Ethnosymbolism: continuity of nations or revival
of resources?

Optical Metaphor
• Referent: Frame of Reference for the Individual (Territory, Population). Can change for subjective and geopolitical reasons
• Lenses: Ideologies, Location (Social, Geographic), Interests, Psychological predispositions
• Resources: Landscape, History, Genealogy, Institutions, Values, Culture, Economy (Zimmer 2003)

Lens: Multicultural Ideology
![Page 12: Visualising Nationhood A Grand Theory of National Identity Eric Kaufmann, Birkbeck College, University of London.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022032703/56649f565503460f94c7aa18/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• Note that collective representations of the nation are also ideologies, albeit particularist
• Must distinguish Ireland as referent from collective ideology of Irish national identity produced by intellectuals/elites, and this is then different from an individual's image of their Irish national identity
• Can have individuals identifying with Ireland before the ideology of Irish national identity has crystallized
• People may see Ireland through prism of other ideologies (i.e. Catholic, Unionist)
