E. San Juan Jr, Articulations of Sexuality and Nationalism in Contemporary United States
In the national Imaginary dominant in the United States, the constitution of U S. identity has so far depended on the articulation of a masculinist/patriarchal model of agency rooted inter alia in the historical myths of "newness", the exceptional future-oriented destiny, the challenge for the Western virginal frontier, and military supremacy. Such myths are framed within the ethos of a fundamentalist individualism that has been expressed in various semantic modalities end contexts : nativism, Anglo- Saxon racial supremacy, "Manifest Destiny", defender of the free world... In today's neoconservative hegemony, the recently obsolete anticommunist civil religion has been displaced by coded signifiers like "family values", restoration of motherhood and the "right to life ", etcetera.
