The paper argues that we are witnessing a socio-historical transformation where nation, as a historical response to a situation defined by individualism, "contractualism" and "economicism", is being ...progressively replaced by what, for the lack of better expression, is here called identitary community. This transformation is only one of several processes within the historical mutation of the world-system; the paper, though, only treats its ideological, i.e., discursive aspect. It tries to show that "identitary community" is, inter alia, promoted by specific communicational strategies, most immediately experienced as "culturification" of conflicts and contradictions. In this way, identitary discourse differs from the modern political articulation of social change and conflict, typical for the period of "nations". In any complex society with multiple "ideological programs", different types of "identification" have an important role in the processes of social cohesion. Discursive strategies of the "nation" rely upon a formalistic and contents-free type of identification for the switching from one ideological "program" or "code" to another. Contrary to this, identitary strategies rely upon procedures like those studied in this paper. They basically mean an introduction of a we-minor term in the minor premiss of a rhetorical syllogism whose major premiss has the pattern "for every x: if Px, then Qx". Identitary strategy has to find ways how persuasively to support the universally styled major premiss: hence its predilection for consensual topoi and for the universalist juridic jargon, including the idiom of the human rights.
