Abstract
This paper focuses on how A. O. Hirschman teaches us to think about politics. At a moment when nationalism and identity politics seem to be on the rise, both as political forces and as modes of explanation of those forces, Hirschman provides a way of analysing political struggles that enables us to pay attention to issues of political identity formation without essentialising these as expressions of nationalist sentiment. To show how this is the case we bring his concepts of exit, voice, and loyalty into conversation with notions of acceleration and resonance in order to explore the current drives toward both Scottish and Catalan independence. Keywords: exit, voice, loyalty, acceleration, resonance, Catalan and Scottish independence
