  • La Revolución Liberal En España En Clave Trasnacional a Través De La Amazona Emilia Du Guermeur, Viuda De Luis Lacy
    LACY. Revista de Estudios Sanroqueños LA REVOLUCIÓN LIBERAL EN ESPAÑA EN CLAVE TRASNACIONAL A TRAVÉS DE LA AMAZONA EMILIA DU GUERMEUR, VIUDA DE LUIS LACY. Jordi Roca Vernet (Universitat de Barcelona) Introducción La historia de Luis Lacy, convertido en mártir de la nación liberal española, ha ensombrecido la figura de Emilia du Guermeur de Lacy, su viuda. Esta es una situación que podría considerarse habitual sino fuera porque Emilia desarrolló una intensa actividad política durante el Trienio Liberal (1820-1823). Su popularidad rebasó la ciudad de Barcelona pero fue allí donde se constató su liderazgo político, erigiéndose en un referente del movimiento liberal exaltado. El objetivo de este artículo es demostrar cómo la cultura liberal revolucionaria española no estuvo exenta de actores políticos que potenciaron la transmisión de tradiciones culturales revolucionarias distintas, y un ejemplo paradigmático de ello fue la joven bretona, Emilia du Guermeur de Lacy. El Trienio Liberal se convirtió en un refugio para los revolucionarios franceses, piamonteses, napolitanos e ingleses que huían de la persecución de los gobiernos absolutistas o moderados.La actividad política de Emilia du Guermeur en España representa fidedignamente el componente trasnacional del fenómeno revolucionario liberal en España, poniendo de relieve la circulación de ideas y culturas revolucionarias. No obstante, el caso de Emilia no fue único, pues en las principales ciudades españolas hubo numerosos europeos y americanos que participaron activamente en la revolución, como el romanoBartolomeoFiorilli, el napolitano General Guglielmo Pepé, el francés George Bessières, el mexicano Gonzaga Oronoz, el irlandés Patrick Moore, etc. (Roca Vernet, 2011 y Roca Vernet, 2014b). La revolución liberal en España se convirtió en una alternativa para todos aquellos liberales.

    Timeline / 1810 to 1860 / SPAIN / POLITICAL CONTEXT Date Country Theme 1812 Spain Political Context Spain's first Constitution of 1812, influenced by the French Revolution, is revolutionary because it declares the Spanish American colonies to be provinces and all their inhabitants citizens. The constitution reduces some of the powers and privileges of the monarchy, aristocracy and church and will influence future post- independence South American constitutions. Up to 1876 Spain will change its constitution four times (1837, 1845, 1869, 1876). 1813 Spain Political Context The Valençay Treaty ends the war between Spain and France. Return of King Fernando VII and absolutist restoration. 1820 - 1823 Spain Political Context In 1820, the army mutiny led by Rafael del Riego leads to King Fernando VII accepting the Constitution, in spite of his former opposition to constitutional monarchy, bringing in the Trienio Liberal period of popular rule. The Congress of Verona in 1822 gives France a mandate to restore Fernando as absolute monarch. In 1823 the French army invades Spain to restore absolutism, ending the Trienio Liberal. 1833 Spain Political Context Isabel II becomes Queen of Spain. The Salic Law forbidding women to reign had been abolished in 1830 because Fernando VII's only heirs were female. His brother, Carlos de Borbón, asserts his claim to the throne against his niece (first Carlist War, 1836–39); two further Carlist wars will follow (1846–49, 1872–76). 1834 Spain Political Context Estatuto Real signed by the Queen Regent, María Cristina de Borbón, as a royal charter similar to the one under the French King Louis XVIII.

  • The Decembrist Movement and the Spanish Constitution of 1812
    THE DECEMBRIST MOVEMENT AND THE SPANISH CONSTITUTION OF 1812 Susanna Rabow-Edling Uppsala University Abstract: This paper studies the impact of the Spanish constitution of 1812 on Russian liberals in general and on the Decembrist movement specifically. It concludes that the constitution mainly exerted influence on the Decembrists by confirming their belief that liberty and constitutions were expressions of "the spirit of the time." It proved to them that liberal reforms were possible in Russia as well. Key Words: Russian liberalism, Decembrist movement, Spanish constitution of 1812, post-Napoleonic revolutions I During the last decade accounts of Russian history have been dominated by a propensity to emphasize autocratic tendencies. Thus, Russia has been portrayed as a country that is, always has been, and always will be autocratic. This might be a convenient explanation for the state of contemporary Russia, but it is not true. Nowadays, when Russian liberals are fighting for their existence, it is especially important to remember that Russia also has a liberal tradition. This tradition was particularly potent during the first and third quarters of the nineteenth century, which was also a period in Russian history when the ties to Western Europe were exceptionally strong. Therefore, we should not, as have often been done, overemphasize the internal influences on this movement.1 In fact, it cannot be properly understood outside of the contemporary European movement for liberty and constitutionalism of which it was part. This is not to say that the internal context was irrelevant. Internal conditions played a vital role for the choices liberals made, but national demands and nationalistic influences did not make the movement less international.

  • El Pensamiento Político De Rafael Del Riego Y Su Ruptura Con Los Moderados
    El pensamiento político de Rafael del Riego y su ruptura con los moderados The political thought of Rafael del Riego and his break with the moderates MANUEL ALVARGONZÁLEZ FERNÁNDEZ Universidad Autónoma de Madrid [email protected] Resumen: El Trienio liberal (1820-1823) fue una época de intensos conflictos ideológicos en el seno del liberalismo español, estas disputas giraron muchas veces en torno a la lectura y la aplicación de la Constitución de 1812. El grupo moderado, también llamado doceañista, apostaba por una aplicación pactada con las fuerzas del Antiguo Régimen para conseguir que participasen en el nuevo juego político, mientras que los exaltados quisieron aprovechar ese momento histórico para consolidar el liberalismo revolucionario apoyándose en la fuerza que le daban las sociedades patrióticas y los grupos urbanos. En este contexto, el restaurador de la Constitución, Rafael del Riego, se comportó como un mito inalienable para ambas tendencias y fue objeto de una retahíla de ataques por parte de los moderados, quienes estuvieron la mayor parte de este período en el gobierno. Palabras clave: Rafael del Riego, Constitución de Cádiz, moderados, exaltados, Plan de Cámaras. Abstract: The Trienio liberal (1820-1823) was a time of great ideological conflicts within the Spanish liberalism. These conflicts revolved many times on the reading and implementation of the Constitution of 1812. The moderate group, also called doceañista, gambled on an implementation agreed with the forces of the Ancien Régime in order to take part in the new political game. In the meantime, the exalted liberalists wanted to take advantage of this historical moment to strengthen the revolutionary liberalism relying on the force that gave the patriotic societies and urban groups.

  • The 1820S and the 1830S Witnessed Several Important Revolutions, Not to Mention Disorders Between the Revolutions
    The 1820s and the 1830s witnessed several important revolutions, not to mention disorders between the revolutions. This violent period culminated in the "Year of Revolutions," 1848. For the major revolutions and developments during the 1820s and 1830s follow the link. Continuous Revolution The period following the Congress of Vienna was all but peaceful, despite the lack of major wars for almost a century. The era from 1815 to 1861-1871 witnessed a long series of revolutions and, between the revolutions, disorder. During the 1861-1871 decade, Italy and Germany were unified. Thus the changes that occurred during nineteenth century in domestic and foreign affairs set the stage for the twentieth century, and perhaps also for the movements and conflicts that shook that century. Revolutions of 1820: Spain In 1820, an army officer, Rafael del Riego (http://www.absoluteastronomy.com/encyclopedia/r/ra/rafael_del_riego.htm), connected with the forces that were supposed to reconquer the Spanish colonies in the New World, issued a “pronunciamiento” (a declaration associated with liberals), revolted against the Spanish government, and proclaimed the Spanish Constitution of 1812. Ferdinand VII had alienated the army because he had reduced its funding and had also alienated liberals by persecuting and arresting them. Active in the liberal opposition were Masonic lodges. The 1820 revolution under Riego was successful at first. The king pretended to go along, but he could never accept the constitution because it reduced his power too much. As time went on, the revolutionaries forced more radical ministers on Ferdinand, which stiffened his resolve to defeat the revolution. There was widespread chaos, royalist uprisings occurred in the provinces, and radicalism on the left increased.

El espacio de mayor altura se hallará al fondo y los otros dos en primer término a ambos lados del espectador. En uno de los laterales habrá un saliente hacia la sala, algo así como un tabladillo. En el foro es impres- cindible que haya, tras la cámara que cierra el escenario, un dispositivo para hacer una trasparencia en determinado momento. El imprescindible mobiliario pueden sacarlo a escena los personajes de menor categoría que intervengan en cada momento y se lo pueden llevar también. Para ello uti- lizarán los oscuros en cada una de las zonas. Si el director de la obra esti- mase oportuno utilizar algún elemento de decorado para situar más con- cretamente la acción, deberá recurrir a elementos sencillos que recuerden no demasiado vagamente los dibujos toscos y esquemáticos que solían apa- recer en las viñetas de las coplas de ciego.
