Nostalgia and National Identity in Macron's Speeches

Skibidi, the art of being French, hits different when you dive into Macron's speeches. Lowkey, nostalgia is the goon that fuels extreme nationalism, but this dissertation flexes on Boym's vibes, breaking down reflective and restorative nostalgia.

They shape the imagined community through myth and memory, like a toilet of collective identity. This Critical Discourse Analysis is the sigma grind to understand how time and identity are intertwined.
