Povo <i>versus</i> bloco de poder: elementos para análise dialógica da identidade nacional

This text aims at presenting, based on Stuart Hall, cognitive tools able not only to comprehend the ontological dimension of the Brazilian nationalist manifestations but also to focus them according to a dialogical or discursive analysis. Far from wanting to fix his thought, sometimes delimiting it in a school (Cultural Studies), sometimes restricting its application to the media sphere, what is sought here is an interpretative possibility of its concepts to a scope of themes related to the question of national identity.
