ABSTRACT

Xenophobia, which is characterized by the exclusion and hatred of foreigners, has been regarded as a phenomenon that was mainly expressed in the 20th century. However, the otherizing process to consolidate the identity of the community has a long historical background. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the phenomenon of xenophobia from the historical perspective by analyzing the anti-Italian sentiment in France in the sixteenth century. The anti-Italian sentiment in France was first germinated among the intellectual circles and then spread to the socioeconomic dimension. The humanist Étienne Dolet (1509-1546), also an editor-cum-printer in Lyon, is a proper example from whose activities we can comprehensively examine the two dimensions of French xenophobia in the sixteenth century. Through the analysis of his writings and publications, it was considered that xenophobia functioned as an incentive for the early formation of nationalism in France in the sixteenth century.
