Résumé anglais The “Nationalist Causes”: A Reconsideration of Activist Involvement in the Light of Biographical Narratives This article draws upon biographical narratives to examine the relationship between nationalism and activism. These narratives fall within the scope of three major nationalist causes: Peronism, the Basque independence movement and the Action française. The biographical reconstruction of oral testimony supplies information as to the trajectories of the selected actors and sheds light on the dynamics at play between activist compromise and national demands. By meticulously examining individual cases – more particularly, the representations and careers of actors for whom nationalist identity played a formative role – more general (diachronic and synchronic) characteristics of the activist nationalisms under consideration may be identified (e.g., the role of political violence, forms of compromise among members of an organization, changing relations between various political families, the gradual exhaustion of what are known as national liberation organizations). My methodological approach is characterized by “comparativism from below” and draws upon qualitative research carried out within the environments under investigation.
