“…To date, however, most empirical studies have focused on the top‐down production of national days by elites, as well as the habits and discourse related to these days (Elgenius, ; McCrone & McPherson, ; Spillman, ), based on the assumption that national days exert a profound impact on national identity. (e.g., Elgenius, ; Zuev & Virchow, ). This assumption, however, has rarely been subjected to critical analysis: The true impact of national days on people's national identity is understudied (Fox, ; Fox & Miller‐Idriss, ).…”

This study uses the case of Holocaust Day in Israel to examine the premise that national days impact national identity and collective memory. Specifically, the study examines whether a very unique type of national day-Holocaust Day-impacts national identification, nationalism, and collective memory in the form of Israeli Jews' perceptions of the "lessons" of the Holocaust. This study uses panel survey design data on national identity and perceptions of the Holocaust's lessons from the same sample of Israeli Jews (N = 665) collected two months prior to Holocaust Day and again during and after Holocaust Day. During and after Holocaust Day, respondents expressed increased levels of nationalism and more perceptions of both particularistic and universalistic Holocaust lessons. Participation in Holocaust Day practices had a stronger relationship with nationalism and national identification during Holocaust Day than before but a weaker relationship with the perception of a universalistic lesson during Holocaust Day. These findings indicate that Holocaust Day impacts national identity and collective memory and highlights the multifaceted nature of the relationships between national identity, collective memory, and national days. The theoretical implication of the findings as well as the case comparability are discussed in light of the findings.

“…Broad questions about how emotions around Anzac Day might influence ingroup membership and subsequent intergroup relations are particularly central and timely. Our interest is in the logic and symbolism of commemorations impact on affective-discursive dimensions of social cohesion, power relations and national identity (Zuev & Virchow 2014). Anzac Day is a key moment in which memory, body, place, identity and mythology intersect in an affective-discursive confluence (Drozdzewski et al 2016;Scates et al 2012;Sumartojo 2015).…”

This paper investigates affective–discursive dimensions of nation‐building via commemorations of nationhood within Aotearoa New Zealand to ask about how these assemblages construct feeling trajectories for citizen participants. We report auto‐ethnographic analyses of participation in specific Anzac Day war remembrance events that occurred in the capital city Wellington. Analyses point to the ways in which engagement in the choreographies of commemoration constructs varied emotion‐laden subject positions for participants and how these psycho‐social differences index and evoke contrasting memorial politics. We conclude that while the differences in affective ambience at different events may prompt citizens towards nationalistic or more conciliatory identity politics, the ceremonies create space for participants to feel and enact diverse affective practices.

“…Por outro lado, os apegos dos indivíduos a lugares sagrados, a ícones pátrios, aos mitos que compõe a história de uma nação podem ser considerados elementos constitutivos tanto da identidade nacional (Mitra & König, 2013;Rodríguez, 2013;Smith, 1991;Zuev & Virchow, 2014) como do amor pátrio. Neste sentido, tanto o nacionalismo, enquanto sentimento de pertença a uma nação, como o patriotismo, enquanto sentimento de lealdade característico apenas daquelas pessoas que se sentem parte dessa nação, seriam fatores explicativos da identidade nacional.…”
