ABSTRACT
The article is based on the argument that the Carniolan sausage (kranjska klobasa) played an important role in the formation and development of Slovenian national awareness in the period between the Spring of Nations and the end of World War I. The Carniolan sausage was an integral part of a unified field of exchanges which enabled the collective recognition of the members of the nation. The article then discusses its place in ‘banal nationalism’ – the daily nationalism that slips from our attention and daily reminds people of their nationality. As a banal national symbol, highlighting national differences and significance, the Carniolan sausage was a constant reminder of the nation. In the last part, the article analyses its role in ‘nationalism from below’, or everyday nationhood – the reproduction of nationhood by ordinary people in everyday life. The Carniolan sausage demonstrates that nationalism is not merely the result of a political programme or ideology, but primarily a network or collection of people, objects, practices, places, institutions, ideologies, technologies, ideas, symbols etc. which define the subjectivity of the people, and form their actions and imagination.

唤醒民族的香肠:斯洛文尼亚国家想象中的Carniolan香肠,1849年至1918年
摘要
本文基于这样的论点,即Carniolan香肠(kranjska klobasa)在国家之春至第一次世界大战结束之间的这段时间里,在斯洛文尼亚国家意识的形成和发展中发挥了重要作用。卡尼奥兰香肠是统一交流领域的组成部分,这使人们能够集体承认国家成员。然后,文章讨论了它在“平凡的民族主义”中的地位-“日常民族主义”从我们的视线中溜走了,每天提醒人们他们的国籍。Carniolan香肠是古老的民族象征,彰显民族差异和重要性,一直在提醒着这个国家。在最后一部分中,文章分析了它在“自下而上的民族主义”或日常民族中的作用-普通人在日常生活中对民族的再现。
