Zusammenfassung: | This article explores the connections between tourism and nationalism, in the authoritarian regime of the Portuguese New State, between 1930 and 1960. In theoretical terms, tourism – places and narratives – is perceived as an instrument of political power, a vehicle for a culture of consent and for an identity discourse that seeks to naturalize the political-ideological project of the regime. Resorting to the periodicals specialized in the railroad issues, this article investigates the experiences of domestic tourism of the period, focusing on popular trains, and the discourses generated around these enterprises, as well as their connection with the identity practices of nationalization of the masses, seeking to unveil the Portugal presented to the Nation. |
