Theories of nations and nationalism have serious problems when dealing with the concept of charisma. Besides frequent conceptual confusion, the concept of charisma is predominantly observed from either the structuralist position or the perspective of psychological reductionism. Charisma is so often sought in the properties of an office; within an ideology; character of a leader; or general socio-economic circumstances of an epoch. In the example of the commonly examined case – that of Hitler – this article argues that charisma is a property of experience and it is the emotional reaction of the audience that validates it. This article builds on Erika Fischer-Lichte’s theory of performance to argue that successful performances of charisma create a type of community that is not based solely on common beliefs, but more importantly on shared emotions and experiences. Studying charisma as a property of experience is a step towards understanding the emotional character of nationalism itself

魅力和情感社区

在处理魅力概念时，民族和民族主义理论存在严重问题。除了经常出现的概念混淆外，魅力的概念主要是从结构主义立场或心理还原论的角度观察到的。办公室的财产经常寻求魅力。在一种意识形态内；领袖气质；或一个时代的一般社会经济环境。在常见的案例中——希特勒的案例——本文认为魅力是经验的一种属性，是观众的情绪反应证实了它。本文建立在 Erika Fischer-Lichte 的表演理论基础上，认为成功的魅力表演创造了一种不仅仅基于共同信念的社区，但更重要的是分享情感和经历。将魅力作为经验的一种属性进行研究是了解民族主义本身的情感特征的一步
