This article offers a reconstruction of a remarkable turn that is emerging in the contemporary sociological discourse on nation. Special attention is given to the thread of debate which focuses on the question of the foundation of nations and nationalism, thus perspectives of primordialism, ethno-symbolism and modernisation theories are presented. Subsequently there are given examples of the significant change in the main axis of the discourse, which recently has been reformulated into analyzing nation as a category of praxis. Contemporary generation of researchers of nationalism (e.g., Michael Billig, Tim Edensor, Michael Keating) seem to be more interested in how nations work than in their origin.
