FOLLOWING THE FOOTPRINTS OF COLONIAL BARCELONA Gustau Nerín It is hardly unusual to find people, even highly educated people, who claim Catalonia can analyse colonialism with sufficient objectivity given that it has never taken part in any colonial campaign and never been colonialist. Even though most historians do not subscribe to this view, it is certainly a common belief among ordinary people. Dissociating ourselves from colonialism is obviously a way of whitewashing our history and collective conscience. But Barcelona, like it or not, is a city that owes a considerable amount of its growth to its colonial experience. First, it is obvious that the whole of Europe was infected with colonial attitudes at the height of the colonial period, towards the end of the 19th century and first half of the 20th. Colonial beliefs were shared among the English, French, Portuguese and Belgians, as well as the Swedes, Swiss, Italians, Germans and Catalans. Colonialist culture was constantly being consumed in Barcelona as in the rest of Europe. People were reading Jules Verne’s and Emilio Salgari's novels, collecting money for the “poor coloured folk” at missions in China and Africa and raising their own children with the racist poems of Kipling. The film industry, that great propagator of colonial myths, inflamed passions in our city with Tarzan, Beau Geste and The Four Feathers. Barcelona’s citizens certainly shared this belief in European superiority and in the white man’s burden, with Parisians, Londoners and so many other Europeans. In fact, even the comic strip El Capitán Trueno, which was created by a communist Catalan, Víctor Mora, proved to be a perfect reflection of these colonial stereotypes. -
En Torno a Los Compositores Hurgaleses Santamaría, Oirnecla, Antonio José Y Calleja
En torno a los compositores hurgaleses Santamaría, Oirnecla, Antonio José y Calleja. Han existido músicos españoles que, bien habiendo o nó nacido en la misma región o provincia, en sus vidas y obras presentan curio- sos paralelismos; tales Bretón y Chapí, salmantino el primero y alican- tino el segundo, y Falla y Tun, ambos andaluces. Falla, de Cádiz, y Turma de Sevilla. Mas, entre las vidas, principalmente, obras y labor de los cuatro músicos objeto de esta disertación, que son Santamaría, Olmeda, Antonio José y Rafael Calleja, no se encuentran similitudes ni paralelismos tan notorios, corno entre las dos parejas de maestros nombrados, lo cual es prueba, por un lado, de lo amplio que es el campo de la música y, por tanto, la serie de especializaciones que se pueden cultivar dentro de ella y, por otro lado, es muestra de la inde- pendencia e iniciativa castellana. Cada uno de nuestros cuatro maestt os realizó labor bastante dis- tinta, conforme personalmente fueron asaz diferentes. Santamaría fué músico de gran tesón pero de escaso talento y, si su nombre perdura, es porque abordó la ópera y consiguió estrenar su única producción de tal género en el Teatro Real, de Madrid, que fue, principalmente, un feudo de la ópera italiana. Olmeda se destacó fuertemente entre los compositores españoles de música religiosa; poseyó carácter inquieto y luchador, por lo que se hizo célebre con sus polé:) icas y mostró un acendrado amor a la tierra burgalesa recopilando gran número de tonadas populares con las que formó su « Folklore de Burgos», primer cancionero editado de esta provincia. -

Els Catalans a Tràcia I La Descoberta De La Tomba De Berenguer D’Entença
JUAN NADAL CAÑELLAS†* ELS CATALANS A TRÀCIA I LA DESCOBERTA DE LA TOMBA DE BERENGUER D’ENTENÇA Resum Després de l’assassinat de Roger de Flor (cap de la Companyia Catalana aliada d’An- drònic II Paleòleg) comanat per l’hereu de l’Imperi bizantí, Miquel IX, els almogàvers declararen la guerra a l’Imperi i devastaren literalment tot el territori bizantí. Al cap de les hosts catalanes, que es dividiren en dos grups, es posaren el noble Berenguer d’Entença i el plebeu Bernat de Rocafort. Aquest, ambiciós i sense escrúpols, estava tan decidit a fer- se amb el comandament suprem dels almogàvers que no dubtà a assassinar Berenguer d’Entença en una emboscada ben ordida. Ramon Muntaner, cronista de l’epopeia cata- lana d’Orient, descriu detalladament les circumstàncies del seu assassinat, les exèquies que li feren i el lloc de la seva sepultura. L’autor d’aquest article ha dedicat dues campanyes arqueològiques a tractar de localitzar aquesta tomba i creu poder afi rmar, sense dubte, haver-ho aconseguit basant-se en la sèrie d’arguments fefaents que hi exposa.

The-Catalan-Expedition-To-The-East
102-120 WIH-085765.qxd 5/12/07 12:13 PM Page 102 Book Reviews The Catalan Expedition to the East: From the Chronicle of Ramon Muntaner. Translated by Robert D. Hughes with an introduction by J.N. Hillgarth. Barcino/Tamesis. 2006. 163 pp. £14.99 paperback. ISBN 1 85566 131 4. The thirteenth and fourteenth centuries saw the composition of a num- ber of accounts by soldiers of campaigns in which they took part, written not in scholarly Latin but in the author’s own vernacular. Among the most celebrated are Geoffrey of Villehardouin’s and Robert of Clari’s descriptions of the Fourth Crusade and John of Joinville’s Life of St Louis, which is an account of the Seventh Crusade’s disastrous expedition to Egypt in 1248–50. This new translation from the medieval Catalan by Robert Hughes brings to the reader of English the work of Ramon Muntaner (1265–1336) and his narrative of the adventures of a company of mercenaries in the near east in the years 1303 to 1311. As J.N. Hillgarth makes clear in his introduction, Muntaner’s account of the Catalan company forms part of a much larger chronicle which covers the years 1205 to 1328 and celebrates the achievements of the royal house of Barcelona. The section translated by Hughes, however, deserves to be made available separately because of the intriguing detail it gives about fourteenth-century warfare. When, in August 1302, peace was declared between Charles II of Naples and Frederick III of Sicily, Roger of Flor, a renegade Templar and leader of a band of Catalan and Aragonese mercenaries in Frederick’s service, faced the problem that the treaty of Bretigny was later to pose for the English Free Companies of the Hundred Years War. -
The History of Private Violence
THE HISTORY OF PRIVATE VIOLENCE Erkki Holmila 1. Introduction Since the very beginnings of organized violence armed force (loosely speak- ing) has been applied through the use of professional ad hoc soldiers, often of foreign origin. Yet in the last few centuries the idea that men should not take part in armed conflict for monetary compensation has come to be an almost unquestionable fact of life. Contracted combatants, including mercenaries, are almost universally condemned and the word itself is highly pejorative. To accuse somebody of being a mercenary is to make a moral statement about the persons character and occupation. This chapter will briefly explain mercenarism in a wider historical context. It would be difficult to understand the practice of using private citizens in warfare without knowledge of the social and historical context in which this activity takes and has taken place. Another reason for describing the history of the use of mercenaries in some detail is to show that the monopolisation of violence into the public sphere is a rather recent trend. The best example, of course, is the fact that the basic social institution in international relations the nation state is merely a few hundred years old. During this short time of the nation states existence it has become the dominant player in international affairs as well as the primary subject of international law, but it would be wrong to assume that this has always been, or that it will necessarily continue to be, the case.1 Standing armies are very much connected with the nation state and conse- quently they are also relatively new in the history of warfare. -
