Though geographers have taken seriously the ways in which representations of place, race, sexuality and gender are woven into narratives of nationalism through experiences of conflict, spaces of memorialization and the practice of ‘heritage', less attention has been paid to the ways nationalism is constituted in and through day-to-day space and spatial practice in times of peace. This paper examines how nationalism is produced in and through the workplace. In particular, I focus on how narratives of nationalism were constituted within the early twentieth-century Canadian financial services sector. Through an analysis of archival materials from six Canadian financial institutions, I compare how narratives of nationalism were employed strategically by women and men in efforts to win employment in this sector after the First World War. I argue that the workplace constitutes and important site for the production and deployment of nationalist feeling, and suggest that nationalism has long been used strategically to reach multiple, sometimes competing, goals.A pesar de los geógrafos haberle dado importancia a los modos en que representaciones de lugar, raza, sexualidad y género se entretejen en narrativas sobre nacionalismo por experiencias de conflicto, espacios de memorialización y la práctica de 'patrimonio', no han considerado las formas en que el nacionalismo está constituido en espacios cotidianos y por costumbres espaciales cotidianos en tiempos de paz. Este papel examina cómo el nacionalismo está producido en y por el lugar de trabajo. En particular se centra en cómo se constituían las narrativas de nacionalismo dentro del sector de servicios financieros en Canadá al principio del siglo veinte. Mediante un análisis de materiales de archivo de seis instituciones financieros canadienses comparo cómo las mujeres y los hombres empleaban las narrativas de nacionalismo de manera estratégica con el fin de ganar empleo en este sector después de la primera guerra mundial. Sugiero que el trabajo constituye un sitio importante para la producción y despliegue de sentimientos nacionalistas y sugiero que el nacionalismo ha sido empleado de manera estratégica desde hace mucho tiempo para lograr objetivos múltiples y a veces contradictorios
