Abstract
This article bridges the topics of the Nation-State and nationalism in the works of Alfonso Pérez-Agote to the debates on diasporas and trans-nationalism, which prominently emerged in Social Sciences in the decade of the 1990's. In its first part, by exploring the distinction between Nation and State, we engage in an initial analytical strategy of this author's work. The main focus is on the construction of a social reality in Modernity that nurtured the construction of a system that is both social by definition and subjective by nature within a delimited and localized territory known as the Nation-State. In the second part, the major terms of the specific situational problem are introduced, focusing mainly on diasporas and transnationalism in the realm of social sciences. There we discuss the prevalence of tendencies towards de-territorialization of the social connection and the over-exposed emergence of subjectivities that these tendencies instigate. Thus we address the flow from a delimited and localized society conformed to the territoriality of the Nation-State to a dispersed social order in which the Nation exceeds and surpasses the State itself and leaves the Subject as a decentralized figure in regard to the institutions that negotiate legitimacy in the era on the Nation-State.
