Nou Estat D'europa Globalisation, Language and Identity in Catalonia Nou Estat d’Europa Globalisation, language and identity in Catalonia: a contemporary perspective. by Steven Byrne Thesis presented to the University of Limerick for the award of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Supervisors: Dr David Atkinson and Dr Máiréad Moriarty External: Dr Agurtzane Elordui Submitted to the University of Limerick, May 2019. Abstract The processes associated with globalisation have seen Catalonia become an ethnolinguistically diverse region. Additionally, a vibrant civic and political movement for an independent Catalonia has brought a renewed urgency to questions about what it means, personally and politically, to speak or not to speak Catalan or Spanish in 21st century Catalonia. The current study seeks to address a gap in the literature by investigating the attitudes of members of independence organisations toward the Catalan and Spanish languages against the backdrop of the Catalan independence movement. This research examines the respondents’ language attitudes from a language orientations perspective, using Ruiz’s (1984, 2010) framework of language-as-a-problem and language-as-a-resource to unpack the complexities of the situation in present-day Catalonia. This research was conducted with members of independence organisations operating in the city of Girona and involved qualitative research methods, specifically focus groups and narrative interviews. This study indicates that a fuller understanding of the complex situation in Catalonia may be facilitated through qualitative methodologies, which have the potential to explore attitudes in-depth. The analysis of the data reveals a diversity of attitudes toward both Catalan and Spanish, with both languages being mobilised in diverse combinations for a wide range of purposes. The comments of the respondents indicate that, against the backdrop of the independence process in the region, bilingualism and multilingualism have become highly valued in the territory. i Acknowledgements I am indebted to the research participants from Girona, who generously gave up their time and agreed to contribute to this study and share their stories with me. This thesis would not have been possible without them. A great debt of gratitude is owed to all informants, as well as to those who facilitated participant recruitment on my behalf. The completion of this thesis represents the product of a successful collaboration on many fronts. First and foremost, special thanks go to my Ph.D. supervisors, Dr David Atkinson and Dr Máiréad Moriarty. I have been privileged to work with them and their complementary expertise has been invaluable, as has their guidance, support, suggestions, judicious critiques and encouragement. Their expert supervision helped me from the start and I am extremely grateful for their continued patience and valuable advice during my candidature. In addition, I express my gratitude to the University of Limerick, the Department of Sociology, in particular, Dr Carmel Hannan, Dr James Carr and Professor Eoin Devereux. Your time and amiability made it possible to complete this work. I would also like to thank the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) and the School of Modern Languages and Applied Linguistics (MLAL) at the University of Limerick for the numerous scholarships and travel bursaries received during the duration of this research. In Girona, I thank all those who made this research possible, in particular, Dr Narcís Iglésias Franch for all his help and advice during my field trips. I would also like to thank Ateneu d'Accio Cultural, Candidatura d’Unitat Popular, Ateneu 24 de Juny, Súmate, Assemblea Nacional Catalana and Esquerra Republicana de Catalunya for opening your doors and sharing your stories with me. Finally, my infinite thanks go to my family, without whose support and encouragement I could have never completed this thesis. Thank you to my Mother and Father and to my two Brothers. This would not have happened without you. Thank you all. ii Declaration I, Steven Byrne, declare that this doctoral thesis is entirely my own work and that all sources that have been used have been referenced. Any mistakes or oversights within the work are entirely my fault and will be corrected.

  • Elaustracismoen Valencia : Un Nu.Evo Intentode Sublevacionen '1710
    EL AUSTRACISMO EN VALENCIA: UN NU.EVO INTENTO DE SUBLEVACION EN '1710 CARMEN PEREZ APARICIO INTRODUCCION Vista con cierta perspectiva, la victoria borbónica obtenida en Aimansa en el mes de abril de 1707, aseguró definitivamente a Felipe V el dominio del reino de Valencia. Sin embargo, una vez salvado el obstiiculo militar, el ej'ér- cito filipino tuvo que enfrentarse a diversos núcleos de resistencia -no por escasos menos enconados- que retrasaron la total reconquista del reino varios años, durante los cuales la causa borbónica atravesó por varias vicisitudes y tuvo momentos de indudable peligro, como lo demuestra el hecho de que el austracismo intentara por segunda vez, ahon en 17 10, una nueva sublevación Las circunstancias que hicieron factible este nuevo intento y las razones de su fracaso son las que intentaremos analizar seguidamente. El hecho de que la proyectada sublevación no se tradujese en un nuevo levantamiento en favor del Archiduque ha dado lugar a que los historiadores que han tratado sobre la Guerra de Sucesión pasaran por alto o aludieran tangencialmente a la cuestión al tiempo que recalcaban la importancia y trascendencia de la victoria que el ejército borbónico obtuvo en los campos de ,41rnansa1.

  • La Guerra De Sucesión En La Novela Histórica Popular Y En El Discurso Infantil Y Juvenil
    LA GUERRA DE SUCESIÓN EN LA NOVELA HISTÓRICA POPULAR Y EN EL DISCURSO INFANTIL Y JUVENIL Fermín Ezpeleta Aguilar (Universidad de Zaragoza) [email protected] RESUMEN: En este trabajo se traza un panorama de la literatura histórica sobre la Guerra de Sucesión (especialmente la LIJ), a partir de la breve caracterización de cada uno de los sesenta títulos que componen el corpus literario de indagación. Esta contienda genera sobre el propio terreno una literatura de combate que va a ser reformulada en época romántica del siglo XIX por algunos autores que escriben en catalán sus novelas históricas. En esta literatura de folletín se aprecian motivos temáticos y rasgos literarios que van a ser reutilizados en sus novelas populares por algunos autores de época de Democracia, y aun por escritores de LIJ, especialmente en catalán, que componen sus narrativas en torno a episodios como el asedio de Barcelona por las tropas de Felipe V (en la literatura juvenil) o la significación posterior de la Fiesta de la Diada (la infantil). Los autores de LIJ se sirven de la variedad habitual de subgéneros para incidir desde una óptica nacionalista en la trascendencia histórica de aquellos momentos virulentos de 1714. En menor medida los autores recrean momentos bélicos en el escenario del valenciano, con la batalla de Almansa como telón de fondo. Menos numerosa, aunque significativa, resulta la narrativa escrita en castellano. PALABRAS CLAVE: Literatura infantil y juvenil, Guerra de Sucesión, Novela histórica, Sitio de Barcelona, Batalla de Almansa. ABSTRACT: This paper presents an overview of the historical literature on the War of Succession (especially LIJ) is plotted, from the brief description of each of the sixty titles that make up the literary corpus of inquiry.

  • Online Mobilization and Perspective Taking in Contentious Politics
    Online mobilization and perspective taking in contentious politics Camilo Cristancho-Mantilla* PhD candidate in Political science Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona [email protected] Working paper – Comments welcome Abstract This article presents an approach to the intergroup contact theory focusing on the value of perspective taking as a central premise in a broad conception of democracy as it implies acknowledging conflict and having respect for political adversaries. I look into protest mobilization and the role that movements and civil society organizations play as mediators in contentious politics in the internet and argue that online protest mobilization processes provide bridging between political divides as protest conveyors need to counter-argue adversarial arguments and frames. Three protest events in Spain are studied through surveys of protesters and through network analysis of issue actors online in order to link individual attitudes with intergroup interaction. This approach provides preliminary evidence to support the theory that online mobilization serves as a contact space which affects the disposition of protest participants for considering opposing stances in political conflicts. Keywords: perspective taking, intergroup contact theory, political disagreement, attitudes, mobilization, online politics, social movements To be presented at the X Congress of the Asociación Española de Ciencia Política, Universidad de Murcia, September 7-9, 2011 ______________________ * I gratefully acknowledge financial support from a PhD research grant provided by the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and the POLAT research group. Data for the protest surveys is part of the EUROCORES project EUI2008- 03812 - Caught in the Act of protest: Contextualizing Contestation. 1 Introduction Internet use for political mobilization is increasingly capturing the attention of multiple disciplines as many expectations for the effects of online media on civic engagement need to be tested.

  • We Don't Have the Exam in Catalan: So You Either Do It in Spanish Or Leave
    Twenty-two new cases of serious linguistic discrimination suffered by Catalan-speaking citizens at the hands of the public administrations of the Spanish state February 2017 Title: “We don’t have the exam in Catalan; so you either do it in Spanish or leave”. Twenty-two (22) new cases of serious linguistic discrimination suffered by Catalan-speaking citizens in 2016 at the hands of the public administrations of the Spanish State. February 2017 Barcelona Plataforma per la Llengua (Pro-Language Platform) C/ Sant Honorat 7, principal 1a 08002 Barcelona 93 321 18 03 www.plataforma-llengua.cat 2 Introduction The Spanish State is neither neutral nor impartial when it comes to the culture and identity of its citizens. In the national and linguistic domain, the elites and all the oligarchies that control the administrative apparatus and the distribution of resources are totally committed to a Spanish- or Castilian-based national identity, and more particularly so with regard to language: Spain can only be understood in the context of Castilian identity and language, which are called, and not casually, “Spanish”. Although since the death of Francisco Franco and the transition towards the current system of apparent democracy inroads have been made in guaranteeing certain areas of linguistic freedom to the citizens of the State who are part of the historically consolidated national minorities, the nature of the State and its legal configuration continue to be highly adverse to these minorities. Moreover, even the linguistic freedom spaces that have been gradually chiselled out of the heart of this militantly “Pro-Castilian” system are often infringed by a corps of civil servants strongly linked to nationalist and supremacist ideology that underpins the core of the legislation.

  • Daniela Ortiz + Xose Quiroga Estat Nació Part I
    angelsbarcelona.com I NP I eng Daniela Ortiz + Xose Quiroga Estat Nació Part I 14.02.14, 20 h. The system of nation state is characterized by a clearly defined territory, a constant population with common cultural and linguistic traits, ruled by a government and organized on the basis of laws that apply to the population and to the different bodies and entities that are developed within it. The project Estat Nació (nation state) outlines a critical look at the construction of sovereignty through the use of discourses, laws and regulations involving people not recognized as citizens by the various immigration laws and regulations affecting the rights and freedoms of migrants. In turn, the project presents an analysis of various historical figures linked to colonial processes recognized in the public space today. The recognition that is given today by the city of Barcelona to historical figures and their direct involvement in colonial processes is being analyzed here through a series of photographs. At the same time, a video projection shows a Catalan language class given to non-EU migrants in which the learning process of language pronunciation it’s being performed through the repetition of several Catalan political discourses in relation to the subject of immigration. Likewise, the students in class were invited to transcribe a series of newspaper articles and official documents that are also displayed in the exhibition space . The exhibition ends with the video projection CC-13 that shows images that were recorded during the event of the Via Catalana * (Catalan Way) on the 11th of September 2013.
