Nacionalni mit

Nacionalni mitovi (takođe nacionalistički mitovi) jesu mitovi koje stvaraju i zagovaraju nacionalni intelektualci kao sredstvo političke mobilizacije na etničkoj osnovi.^[1] Nacionalni mitovi su podvrsta političkih mitova.

Nacionalni mit često služi kao važan nacionalni simbol koji afirmiše skup nacionalnih vrednosti. Nacionalistički mitovi ponekad imaju tendenciju da stimulišu sukobe između nacija,^[2] da prenaglase karakteristična obeležja nacije i da preuveličavaju pretnju naciji od strane drugih grupa, ratoborno propagirajući ostvarenje svojih ciljeva.^[3]

Nacionalni mit može biti legenda ili izmišljeni narativ, uzdignut do ozbiljne mitološke, simboličke i vrednosne razine tako da bude istina za naciju.^[4] Može samo dramatizovati pravi događaj, izostaviti važne istorijske detalje, ili dodati detalje za koje nema dokaza; ili prosto može biti izmišljena priča koju niko ne uzima doslovno za istinitu, ali sadrži simboličko značenje za naciju.^[5]

U nekim slučajevima, značenje nacionalnog mita može postati sporno među različitim delovima stanovništva.
