General overview
Quote
Engagement
More mobile and moveable takeaway
Nation =/= real political state (idea, that often gets conflated)
Despite the reality of diverse and different members of the nation there is an idea of a “deep
horizontal comradeship” that contradicts the reality of continued mistreatment of some
members of the nation
“limited”—often the imagined community of the nation excludes even some of the members of
the political state (the US) who belong in the nation
National belonging =/= actual citizens of the physical nation-state
Other connections:
Specific case: Black Lives Matter movement and evidence of continuing systematic and
structural racism
Another specific case: the implications of popular stories, entertainment, texts
Cops, Gone with the Wind

Suggested Parts To Quote
In the anthropological spirit, then, I propose the
following / definition of the nation: it is an
imagined political community—and imagined as
inherently limited and sovereign (5-6)
He [sic] who is subjected to a field of visibility,
and who knows it, assumes responsibility for the
constraints of power; he makes them play
spontaneously upon himself; he inscribes in
himself the power relation in which he
simultaneously plays both roles; he becomes the
principle of his own subjection (202-03)
Did the critical discourse that addresses itself to
repression come to act as a roadblock to a power
mechanism that had operated unchallenged up
to that point, or is it not in fact part of the same
historical network as the thing it denounces (and
doubtless misrepresents) by calling it
“repression”? (10)
See the many examples from the Reading
Questions and the Gender Trouble “Film Notes”

Anderson defines the nation as “an
imagined political community—and
imagined as inherently limited and
sovereign” (6).

addresses itself to repression . . .

Criticism Capsule Quotations to Use:
Quotation #1 (use block quote formatting):
Doneson identifies a typical gender dynamic between Jews and Christians in Holocaust films:
[T]he prevailing vision that informs Holocaust films . . . takes shape in the alliance of the
weak, passive, rather feminine Jew being protected by a strong Christian/gentile, the
