• Editorial Note Chapter I. Cultural modernization: Institutionalization of “national sciences” Chapter II. The “Critical turns”: Subverting the Romantic narratives Chapter III. Literary representations of the “national character” Chapter IV. Aesthetic modernism and collective identities Chapter V. Regionalism, autonomism and the minority identity-building narratives
