Geographical aspects of Lithuanian nationalism
ENThe study of nationalism pays too little attention to the issue of territoriality, although it is a fundamental concept accompanying nationalism. Nor has nationalism been the subject of geographical studies, although as a vital ideology it influences the politics of states and, by extension, the functioning of societies, people's daily lives and the landscape. This article offers an insight into the study of nationalism through the example of the development of spatial concepts of Lithuanian nationalism, which allows us to understand the research potential that geography has in the study of nationalism. Inspired by the work of Anthony D. Smith and Thongchai Winichakul's concept of the geo-body, the author offers a deeper insight into Lithuanian nationalism and related spatial concepts. Keywords: geo-body, Lithuania, nationalism, Poland, spatial concepts.
