  • Covadonga Y El Regionalismo Asturiano * Carolyn P
    Ayer 64/2006 (4): 149-178 ISSN: 1134-2277 Covadonga y el regionalismo asturiano * Carolyn P. Boyd University of California, Irvine Resumen: Este artículo aborda la política cultural del regionalismo y del nacionalismo en España a través del disputado significado otorgado al mito de Covadonga, conocido tradicionalmente como el «lugar de naci- miento de la Reconquista». Como mito de gran significación histórica tanto para la región asturiana como para la nación española, Covadonga también es un mito fundamental que creó identidad colectiva y que ejem- plificó el patriotismo dual de los regionalistas asturianos. Sin embargo, entre los tradicionalistas católicos y los reformistas europeizantes surgió una disputa acerca de las diferentes interpretaciones de la identidad y la historia regional y nacional. La conmemoración oficial del 1200 aniversa- rio de la «batalla» de Covadonga en 1918 marcó el triunfo de la interpre- tación nacional-católica del mito, que a partir de entonces se transformó en un símbolo de identidad regional partidista, antes que en un símbolo compartido. Palabras clave: regionalismo, nacionalismo, políticas culturales, Asturias, España, siglos XIX y XX. Abstract: This essay examines the cultural politics of regionalism and nation- alism in Spain by focusing on the contested meaning of the myth of Cov- adonga, traditionally known as the «birthplace of the Reconquest.» As a myth with historical significance for both the Asturian region and the Spanish nation, Covadonga was a potentially powerful symbol of collec- tive identity that exemplified the «dual patriotism» of Asturian regional- ists. But a protracted struggle to control the meaning of the myth arose * Traducción de Elvira Asensi (Universitat de Valencia) y revisión de Xosé M.

  • La Hermandad De Ntra. Sra. De Covadonga, De Asturianos Y Montañeses, De Granada (1702-1810)*
    LA HERMANDAD DE NTRA. SRA. DE COVADONGA, DE ASTURIANOS Y MONTAÑESES, DE GRANADA (1702-1810)* MIGUEL LUIS LOPEZ MUÑOZ RESUMEN La Hermandad de Nuestra Señora de Covadonga, de naturales de Asturias y la Montaña, constituye un ejemplo de cofradía grupal con connotaciones sociales específicas. Nació esta hermandad a comienzos del siglo XVIII, época de cierta presencia asturiana y cántabra en Granada. A lo largo del siglo, se convirtió en núcleo cohesionador de un reducido número de familias, a la vez que gozaba de un saneamiento económico que evidencia su escasa activi­ dad. Tras este proceso de agotamiento, desapareció en la época de la invasión francesa. Su existencia es el testimonio de la voluntad asociativa de personas nacidas en una misma re­ gión, que se traduce en una fórmula de amplio desarrollo en el siglo XVIII: la cofradía cerrada. SUMMARY The Brotherhood of Our Lady of Covadonga, whose members were originally from Astu­ rias and La Montaña (Santander), constitutes an example of a common brotherhood with specific social connotations. This fraternity was founded in Granada at the beginning of the 18th century, a time when there was a considerable Asturian/Cantabrian population in Gra­ nada. Throughout the 18 th century, this community became the cohesive nucleus of a small number of families; however, its limited activity evidences the Brotherhood’s growing lack of economic resources. After this period of depletion, the Brotherhood disappeared altogether during the French occupation of Spain. Its existence is nonetheless a testimony to the com­ munity spirit of persons born in the same region, and exemplifies a social unit which would develop widely in the 18 th century: the closed brotherhood.

  • Popular Anticlerical Violence and Iconoclasm in Spain, 1931 – 1936
    The Faith and the Fury: Popular Anticlerical Violence and Iconoclasm in Spain, 1931 – 1936 Maria Angharad Thomas Royal Holloway University of London Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History, 2012 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Maria Angharad Thomas, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: Date: 2 Abstract This thesis is an exploration of the motives, mentalities and collective identities which lay behind acts of popular anticlerical violence and iconoclasm during the pre-war Spanish Second Republic (1931-1936) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). The five year period following the proclamation of the democratic Second Republic in April 1931 was marked by physical assaults upon the property and public ritual of the Spanish Catholic Church. These grassroots attacks were generally carried out by rural and urban anticlerical workers who were frustrated by the Republic’s practical inability to tackle the Church’s vast power. On 17-18 July 1936, a rightwing military rebellion divided Spain geographically, provoking the radical fragmentation of power in territory which remained under Republican authority. The coup marked the beginning of a conflict which developed into a full-scale civil war. Anticlerical protagonists, with the reconfigured structure of political opportunities working in their favour, participated in an unprecedented wave of iconoclasm and violence against the clergy. During the first six months of the conflict, innumerable religious buildings were destroyed and almost 7,000 religious personnel were killed. This thesis challenges standard interpretations which link these acts to irrationality, criminality and primitiveness.
