  • Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930S
    Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2014 Ariel Mae Lambe All rights reserved ABSTRACT Cuban Antifascism and the Spanish Civil War: Transnational Activism, Networks, and Solidarity in the 1930s Ariel Mae Lambe This dissertation shows that during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939) diverse Cubans organized to support the Spanish Second Republic, overcoming differences to coalesce around a movement they defined as antifascism. Hundreds of Cuban volunteers—more than from any other Latin American country—traveled to Spain to fight for the Republic in both the International Brigades and the regular Republican forces, to provide medical care, and to serve in other support roles; children, women, and men back home worked together to raise substantial monetary and material aid for Spanish children during the war; and longstanding groups on the island including black associations, Freemasons, anarchists, and the Communist Party leveraged organizational and publishing resources to raise awareness, garner support, fund, and otherwise assist the cause. The dissertation studies Cuban antifascist individuals, campaigns, organizations, and networks operating transnationally to help the Spanish Republic, contextualizing these efforts in Cuba’s internal struggles of the 1930s. It argues that both transnational solidarity and domestic concerns defined Cuban antifascism. First, Cubans confronting crises of democracy at home and in Spain believed fascism threatened them directly. Citing examples in Ethiopia, China, Europe, and Latin America, Cuban antifascists—like many others—feared a worldwide menace posed by fascism’s spread.

  • Axis Internationalism: Spanish Health Experts and the Nazi ‘New Europe’, 1939–1945
    Axis Internationalism: Spanish Health Experts and the Nazi ‘New Europe’, 1939–1945 DAVID BRYDAN Abstract Many of the forms and practices of interwar internationalism were recreated under the auspices of the Nazi ‘New Europe’. This article will examine these forms of ‘Axis internationalism’ by looking at Spanish health experts’ involvement with Nazi Germany during the Second World War. Despite the ambiguous relationship between the Franco regime and the Axis powers, a wide range of Spanish health experts formed close ties with colleagues from Nazi Germany and across Axis and occupied Europe. Many of those involved were relatively conservative figures who also worked with liberal international health organisations in the pre- and post-war eras. Despite their political differences, their opposing attitudes towards eugenics and the tensions caused by German hegemony, Spanish experts were able to rationalise their involvement with Nazi Germany as a mutually-beneficial continuation of pre-war international health cooperation amongst countries united by a shared commitment to modern, ‘totalitarian’ forms of public health. Despite the hostility of Nazi Germany and its European collaborators to both liberal and left-wing forms of internationalism, this phenomenon suggests that the ‘New Europe’ deserves to be studied as part of the wider history of internationalism in general and of international health in particular. In November 1941 over fifty government officials and public health experts representing twenty different states attended an international

  • La Prensa and Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-19461 Jorge Nállim University of Manitoba
    An Unbroken Loyalty in Turbulent Times: La Prensa and Liberalism in Argentina, 1930-19461 JORGE NÁLLIM University of Manitoba In recent years, a growing body of scholarship has revised one of the most controversial periods in Argentine history: the sixteen years between the mi- litary coup of September 1930 and the presidential election of Juan Perón in 1946. These years have been traditionally interpreted as a transition period, a “prelude” to the emergence of Peronism, characterized by the decadence of the nineteenth-century liberal republic in a context of political and ideological crisis and economic and social transformation. While acknowledging some of those features, new studies emphasize the blurred political and ideological boundaries of the main political and social actors and locate them within the broader histo- rical framework of the interwar years. For example, they show that the Radical and Socialist parties and the conservative groups that gathered in the ruling Concordancia coalition were deeply divided and far from being ideologically homogeneous, and that varied positions on state economic intervention, free trade, and industrialization generated both sharp intra-party differences as well as cross-party coincidences.2 This new historiography offers a particularly fruitful context to explore one of the most important national newspapers in this period, La Prensa. Founded in 1869 by José C. Paz in the city of Buenos Aires, La Prensa eventually achieved a large national circulation and a reputation as a “serious press,” which made it widely accepted as a reliable source of information and a frequent reference in congressional debates. Firmly controlled by the Paz family, the newspaper and its owners prospered during Argentina’s elitist liberal republic which lasted [email protected] E.I.A.L., Vol.

  • POEMAS DE LA ALEMANIA ETERNA (1940) Mario Martín Gijón Universidad De Extremadura
    NAZISMO Y ANTISEMITISMO EN LA LITERATURA FALANGISTA. EN TORNO A POEMAS DE LA ALEMANIA ETERNA (1940) Mario Martín Gijón Universidad de Extremadura Si la leyenda de Franco como salvador de judíos ha sido ya suficientemente desacreditada por concluyentes investigaciones que evidencian lo limitada de su labor de ayuda a los refugiados judíos, así como su adaptación a sus intereses políticos,1 y si recientes estudios han puesto de manifiesto la extensión que alcanzó el antisemitismo en el discurso de la derecha española desde los años treinta,2 son relativamente escasos los análisis sobre la relación que las manifestaciones antisemitas tienen con la fascinación que el nazismo ejerció sobre una porción importante de la intelectualidad fascista que obtuvo el monopolio del campo intelectual tras el 1 de abril de 1939.3 Y es que, como ha constatado Gonzalo Álvarez Chillida, “el antisemitismo español del periodo 1931-1945 es ininteligible sin tener en cuenta el papel de la Alemania nazi” (310). En efecto, la llegada al poder de Adolf Hitler y su rápido aplastamiento de la oposición obrera, habían suscitado la admiración y, en algunos casos, el entusiasmo, de los intelectuales de derechas.4 Obras como Nacionalsocialismo de Juan Beneyto Pérez y La revolución nacionalsocialista de Vicente Gay, aparecidas en 1934, o Hitler. El salvador de Alemania (1935) de Adelardo Fernández Arias, presentaban visiones muy positivas del régimen alemán.5 César González Ruano, corresponsal de ABC en Berlín, enviaría crónicas muy elogiosas sobre la política nazi, que recogería en 1934 en su libro Seis meses con los nazis (Una revolución nacional).6 La mayoría de estos autores se esforzaban por justificar el antisemitismo, casi siempre estableciendo una relación directa entre judaísmo y marxismo.

  • Per Aage Brandt La Falange: the Structure of a Fascist Dream
    Journal of Cognitive Semiotics, IV (2): 57-74. http://www.cognitivesemiotics.com . Per Aage Brandt Case Western Reserve University La Falange: The Structure of a Fascist Dream The text proposes a structural narrative reading of José Antonio Primo de Rivera’s falangist discourse and shows how its thinking is based on spatial and dynamic imagination and a particularly strong sacrificial nationalist motif. It further suggests that the symbolic dimension in its nationalism constitutes a driving emotional force to be found in all nationalisms. Falangism was a religious version of fascism, famous for becoming the official ideology of Francoist Spain; but it shared with all militant national political forms of thinking the emotionally compelling mystique : the feeling of a spiritual essence and force emanating from a beloved land and conveying existential identity and value to its subjects, thus justifying and calling for committed violent and sacrificial acts that override ordinary systems of lawful behavior. Keywords : falangism, fascism, narratology, nationalism, social cognition, sacrifice, death. We may believe that political thinking is an argumentative genre that calculates truths within a quasi-axiomatic system of propositions. However, its readiness to animate polemical discourse and emotional rhetoric in general shows that this genre of social cognition, interpretation, and imagination comes with built-in agentive roles and identity-stimulating subjective appeals that rather would suggest a story structure – a narrative constitution – from which arguments can be extracted as episodic elements. If so, the challenging task is to surpass mere intuitive and Address for correspondence: College of Arts & Sciences, 10900 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106-7068 USA.

Fernandez University of California, Berkeley 1 Abstract What is the connection between civic autonomy and political participation? This paper assesses three answers to this question: the left Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy encourages political participation, the right Tocquevillian argument suggesting that civic autonomy discourages political participation, and the neo-Marxist synthesis of these two positions developed by Gramsci. We investigate these competing arguments by analyzing the impact of two very different authoritarian regimes (Fascist Italy, and Francoist Spain) on post- authoritarian democratic participation. The Italian fascist regime eliminated civic autonomy, incorporating civic organizations into the party. The Franco regime, in contrast left a relatively autonomous "civic sphere" in tact. We find that Italian fascism tended to promote political participation by establishing a pattern of political behavior in which parties dominated civic associations. Spanish authoritarianism, with its more laissez faire orientation to civil society, left a legacy of deep political apathy. Paradoxically, from the perspective of the Tocquevillian left, the Fascist Italian regime produced a more 'participatory' liberal democracy, than the less Fascist Franco dictatorship.

DRAFT Chapter Six Arriba Eurasia? The Difficult Establishment of Neo-Eurasianism in Spain Nicolas Lebourg [6.0] As a movement, neo-Eurasianism is far removed from the nationalist tradi- tions of Spanish politics. It was imported as part of the long quest for new ideas and doctrinal references that followed the dictatorship of General Fran- cisco Franco, who ruled from 1939 to 1975. Neo-Eurasianism is one of the ideological products patched together in the hope of resolving a political impasse—the far right has been limited to around 1 percent of the vote since the return to representative democracy in 1977. In addition to electoral impo- tence, the Spanish extreme right is characterized by exceptional fragmenta- tion and powerful heteronomy compared with its European counterparts, especially in France and Italy.
