National Socialist and National in Writings on Art during the German Occupation

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with Estonian writings on art during the German occupation 1941–1944 through the prism of nationalism. The communicative role of art in politically and ideologically complicated context has been analysed. For the better comprehension of the context a brief overview of the contemporary discourse of nationalism has been given as well as of the different nuances of the meaning of the notion 'national' – national, nationalistic, national socialist, etc. Nationalism can be reticent and isolated, or, on the contrary, expansive and agressive. In general, 'nationality' has been defined as the manifestation of the feeling of togetherness related to linguistic, cultural, religious, racial and/or territorial self-consciousness.
