ISSN No. 0144-5863 ISBN No. 09507137 08 IN MEMORIAM JOSEP MARIA BATISTA I ROCA (1895-1978) Dr. J. M. Batista i Roca, founder member of the Anglo-Catalan Society and its first Honorary Life President, always hoped that the Society would at some stage be able to publish some of the work of its members and guest speakers. Unfortunately this was never possible during his lifetime, but now that the Society, with the help of a grant from Omnium Cultural, is undertaking the publication of Occasional Papers it seems appropriate that this Series as a whole should be dedicated to the fond memory which the Society holds of him. CONTENTS Foreword 1 I. The historical roots of an open society. 4 II. Social classes and the rise of Catalan industrial capitalism. 15 III. A broken progress. 28 IV. The structure and change of Catalan society, 1939-1980. 38 V. The reconquest of democracy. 54 VI. The future of the Catalans. 65 Appendices.

  • Critical Inquiries Into Catalan Cultures Syllabus
    Critical Inquiries into Catalan Cultures NUMBER MEETING TIME ROOM NUMBER Instructor: Prof. Aurélie Vialette Office: Hagerty Hall 277 Phone number: 688 1482 Email: [email protected] Office hours: by appointment. COURSE DESCRIPTION The relationship between culture and politics in the development of Catalonia (or, better say, Catalan countries, “Països Catalans”) is not accidental, but fundamental. Therefore, this course examines this relationship, through critical analysis, of Catalan political history as it relates to its social and cultural history. The course will provide students with the basic intercultural skills and necessary knowledge to be able to understand the specificities of Catalan cultures. We will address the ideological, linguistic, and political difficulties of defining Catalan cultures as separate from other cultures of other autonomous communities in the Iberian Peninsula. We will also discuss the current political debate surrounding Catalonia’s independence. This debate will be presented through a variety of methods and activities designed to enhance cultural awareness and critical thinking in students. Classes will include lectures, discussions, audio-visual material, students presentations and guest speakers. READINGS Books that you need to buy Hughes, Robert. Barcelona. Vintage Books, 1992.

  • Ritual and Contemporary Catalan Theater: the Work of La Fura Dels Baus
    Journal of Catalan Studies 2015/2016 Ritual and contemporary Catalan theater: the work of La Fura dels Baus Duri Long Goergia Institute of Technology Introduction One only has to witness a few hours of La Mercè in Barcelona to experience the inherent theatricality involved in traditional Catalan rituals. From the pyrotechnics and demonic costumes in the correfoc to the enormous papier-mâché masks in the xambanga de gegants, performance is central to many Catalan festivities. Although there is a well-developed body of literature discussing contemporary Catalan theater (George & London 1996; Feldman 2009) as well as literature discussing traditional Catalan rituals (Hernández 2005; Noyes 2003) there is little that explores more than a surface level relationship between these two genres of performance. This essay will investigate this connection by identifying key thematic and symbolic elements that are present in Catalan rituals and examining how these elements have influenced theater in the period following the end of Franco’s regime. Focusing on elements such as non-verbal theatrical devices, motifs of teamwork and social union, and the use of theatrical catharsis, this essay will look at the work of Catalan theater company La Fura dels Baus in order to explore the presence of Catalan ritual in their work and investigate some of the possible implications of this presence on Catalan cultural identity. Catalan Identity From a theatrical point of view – and from the narrow perspective allowed by this focus – the main concern in this area relates not exclusively to history or politics but to the notion of civic or cultural national consciousness.

Santi Sató Vas ceràmic ibèric, Llíria; una protosardana, segons L. Pericot Qui no coneix la seva història està destinat a repetir-la És durant la Renaixença quan la sardana es converteix en la dansa nacional de Catalunya. S'havia fet popular, després de les places i els teatres. Havia conquerit també els cafès i les cases amb l’edició de sardanes per a piano. Però per esdevenir un símbol calia que la dansa tingués un passat, un origen 2011, Llibre Festa Major 101 mitològic que en garantís l'antigor. L'historiador Josep Pella i Forgas, amb l’obra Historia del Ampurdán, publicada l’any 1883, va conferir-li els honors que li faltaven.

  • An American Geographer in Catalunya1
    Treballs de la Societat Catalana de Geografia, 61-62, 2006, p. 83/100 Thinking about Place and Culture: An American Geographer in Catalunya1 Daniel W. Gade Department of Geography University of Vermont Abstract In this essay on the geography of the heart, I use my experience in Catalunya to elaborate how geographers discover place and how a foreign encounter can transform one’s thinking. Intellectual inspiration in this tra- jectory has come from Goethe (self-aware traveler with an open mind); Herder (originator of the notion of cultural-linguistic diversity), A. Humboldt (scientist curious about foreign lands); Royce (philosopher of the periphery); and Sauer (maestro of a cultural historical approach to geography). Learning about place at three scales has been a process of discovery illuminated by revisitation, reflection, and comparison. The small city of Olot has offered perspectives on pedestrian—oriented urban living; the comarca of La Garrotxa has stimulated thinking about the logic of an environmenteally coherent micro-region; and Catalunya has provided an example of how soli- 1 I have chosen to use the endonym ‘Catalunya’ rather than the English exonym of ‘Catalonia.’ Insistence on the local usage of place-names legitimizes the linguistic character of a nation. Insensitivity to politico-cultu- ral change in the Spanish state is apparent in a world gazetteer published in the United States that gave prefe- rence to Castilian place-names (e.g. Gerona rather than Girona) in the entries for the països catalans (Cohen 1998). 84 Treballs de la SCG, 61-62, 2006 Daniel W. Gade darity, a sense of the past, but also the conjuncture of the Zeitgeist, have led to an extraordinary cultural resurgence.

  • El Folklore Y Las Tradiciones De Cataluña
    El folklore y las tradiciones de Cataluña EL FOLKLORE Y LAS TRADICIONES DE CATALUÑA La Sardana La sardana es una danza típicamente catalana que se baila en círculo . Se trata de uno de los bailes en circulo más complejos que existen, debido a la variedad de “tirades”, o pasos cortos y largos . La disposición de los participantes en el círculo se realiza en parejas de hombre y mujer sucesivamente . Los pasos largos se realizan con los brazos en alto y los cortos con los brazos hacia abajo . Uno de los rasgos principales de este baile es su carácter social y abierto, ya que permite a todo aquél que lo desee incorporarse a la rondana y bailar al ritmo de la música que interpreta la “cobla”, una formación de 11 músicos compuesta por instrumentos típicos catalanes: un “flabiol”, que es el que inicia la sardana, dos “tibles”, dos “tenores” y un “tamborí”, y otros de carácter más general como dos trompetas, dos fiscornos, un trombón y un contrabajo . El origen de este baile no es del todo claro . En ocasiones, por etimología, el nombre de “sardana” se vincula a la comarca de la Cerdanya o incluso a la isla de Cerdeña . Otras fuentes hablan del origen de la sardana relacionado con danzas prerromanas de culto al sol, o incluso influencias griegas . Existe toda una simbología en torno a la sardana . Para interpretar el baile original se hacía referencia a la sardana como un elemento astronómico . La sardana se componía de veinticuatro compases, ochos cortos de todo más bien grave, que representarían la noche, y dieciséis más largos y más alegres, que representarían las horas de luz solar .
