Abstract
Abstract Alsace is usually known in nationalism studies as the historical object of conflict between France and Germany. This peripheral region is rarely studied as a minority nation struggling for recognition and claiming autonomy. This article aims to conceptualize Alsatian nationalism and its renewed practices and representations amidst mobilization against the merger of Alsace into the Grand-Est. Alsatian nationalism is now at the crossroads of thwarting French hegemony, between a cosmopolitan autonomism that promotes Alsace as a transnational entity and a “new” nationalism that perceives Alsace as a nation with self-determination.
