  • Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven***
    170 Constructing Contemporary Nationhood in the Museums and Heritage Centres of Catalonia Colin Breen*, Wes Forsythe**, John Raven*** Abstract Geographically, Spain consists of a complex mosaic of cultural identities and regional aspirations for varying degrees of autonomy and independence. Following the end of violent conflict in the Basque country, Catalonia has emerged as the most vocal region pursuing independence from the central Spanish state. Within the Catalan separatist movement, cultural heritage sites and objects have been appropriated to play an intrinsic role in supporting political aims, with a variety of cultural institutions and state-sponsored monumentality playing an active part in the formation and dissemination of particular identity-based narratives. These are centred around the themes of a separate and culturally distinct Catalan nation which has been subject to extended periods of oppression by the varying manifestations of the Spanish state. This study addresses the increasing use of museums and heritage institutions to support the concept of a separate and distinctive Catalan nation over the past decade. At various levels, from the subtle to the blatant, heritage institutions are propagating a message of cultural difference and past injustice against the Catalan people, and perform a more consciously active, overt and supportive role in the independence movement. Key words: Catalonia, museums, heritage, identity, nationhood Across contemporary Europe a range of nationalist and separatist movements are again gaining momentum (Borgen 2010). From calls for independence in Scotland and the divisive politics of the Flemish and Walloon communities in Belgium, to the continually complicated political mosaic of the Balkan states, there are now a myriad of movements striving for either greater or full autonomy for their region or peoples.

  • El Tricentenario De Los Tratados De Utrecht, Rastatt Y Baden (1712-1715)
    EN PERSPECTIVAESTUDIOS Cuadernos de Historia Moderna ISSN: 0214-4018 http://dxd.oi.org/10.5209/CHMO.52796 El tricentenario de los tratados de Utrecht, Rastatt y Baden (1712-1715) [en] The Tercentennial of the Treatises of Utrecht, Rastatt and Baden (1713-1715) Entre las medallas conmemorativas realizadas para celebrar las paces de Utrecht, encontramos una de Willem de Wijs en cuyo reverso Mercurio –dios de la prudencia, y noticiero, pero también de las artes industriosas y del comercio– aparece sentado sobre una caja de caudales abierta y repartiendo riqueza, a su lado, dos herreros destrozan con sus martillos las armas de la guerra para convertirlas en cuchillas y rejas de arados. La inscripción que acompaña a la imagen dice: diffingite arma: pax est [Deshaz las armas: hay paz]. Esta alegoría es muy habitual en la iconografía de las paces, que recurre a la cueva de Vulcano –el dios que fabricaba las armas de dioses y héroes clásicos–, para mostrar cómo los forjadores de armas se convierten en forjadores de útiles de labranza y herramientas para toda clase de oficios produc- tivos. Se basa también en la profecía de Isaías (2: 4): “Y él será el juez de todas las gentes y reprenderá a muchos pueblos, los cuales de sus espadas forjarán rejas de arado, y hoces de sus lanzas; no desenvainará la espada un pueblo contra otro, ni se adiestrarán más en el arte de la guerra”. Si bien es cierto que la paz “general” al- canzada en Utrecht se dejó sentir especialmente en los Países Bajos, que disfrutaron de veinticinco largos años sin conflictos directos, no duró tanto para otros conten- dientes, como quedó demostrado muy poco después con la guerra de la Cuádruple Alianza (1717-1720).

  • Magí Sunyer ISSN 1540 5877 Ehumanista/IVITRA 10 (2016): 151-168 the Literary Construction of the Spirit of Catalonia: the Chiva
    Magí Sunyer The literary Construction of the Spirit of Catalonia: The Chivalrous Ideal and Modernity (1833-1874) Magí Sunyer Universitat Rovira i Virgili 1. Introduction The contemporary nations – the ones that emerged from the revolutions of the 18th and 19th centuries whether they had any previous substance or not – were constructed on the basis of a narrative that gave them an identity in the eyes of both insiders and outsiders. This construction involved all the sectors of society and all sorts of artistic and scientific disciplines. Literature played a major role. Alongside painting, sculpture and music, architecture and urbanism, literature provided a model of myths and symbols that represented the country with old and new icons to. In this process, the past is referred to not for archaeological reasons but as a model of the nation aspired to. So, historical episodes are selected and manipulated in accordance with the ideological interests of those in charge of the process. It is in this context that concepts such as “the invention of tradition” (Hobsbawm & Ranger) and “the social construction of reality” (Berger & Luckmann) acquire their full meaning. The interpretation of the past is not innocent. Never. Nowhere. In the sense that the term is habitually used, the Catalan nation can be traced back to the Middle Ages and it was defeated and humiliated at the beginning of the 18th century. It had been mutilated quite considerably fifty years before when Philip IV illegally sold Rosselló, Vallespir and a part of Cerdanya to Louis XIV of France. With the Nova Planta decrees, Catalonia was stripped of its democratic and modern institutions and laws, and was annexed to the kingdom of Spain.

It was a repression that also caused countless deaths. They are the deaths caused by the living conditions in prisons, by hunger, misery, the lack of work and the return of diseases that had been wiped out more than a decade earlier. They are the silent dead of a day to day existence stained with despair and fear. They are the living dead, the dead of an internal exile, of a graveyard peace that would last nearly four decades.

No, on the contrary, we must remember, because the scope of Francoist repression in peacetime has no possible comparison, not even with the other European Fascisms from before the Second World War. And I would like to end with a reflection that is linked to the present. With the Transition that began with the 1977 elections, the 1978 Constitution, the Catalan Statute of 1979 and the first elections to the Catalan Parliament in 1980, some people, naively, thought that the war had not been lost, that wars are not lost and that, after two Antoni Segura or three generations, once the darkest of dictatorships was overcome, everything could begin afresh.

ON THE PHENOMENON OF TABARNIA IN CATALONIA1 Abstract The paper analyzes the phenomenon of Tabarnia, a grassroots social movement aiming to ex- pose and counter the absurdities of the Catalan independence nationalism. The adherents of Tabar- nia employ irony, situational humour, performance and historical re-enactment to ridicule and neu- tralize the nationalist discourse. Key words Tabarnia, Catalonia, Tabarnia is not Catalonia, Albert Boadella, satire, irony, Catalonian na- tionalism, tabarneses, Tabarnexit There can be no doubt that Spain’s greatest political problem today is the sit- uation in Catalonia which, governed by the nationalist faction, clearly strives for secession. The Spanish State faces a serious structural problem, which stems from the traditional conflict between unionists and federalists. Although the Consti- tution of Spain of 1978 affirms it to be a united state based on autonomies, the example of Catalonia demonstrates that the issue persists. As a by-product of that process, a grassroots social movement emerged in Catalonia, whose goal is to counter the nationalist project by ridicule and tongue-in-cheek mimicking. Tabarnia, as the movement is called, has not only attracted numerous Catalans 1 This paper has been developed as part of the National Centre for Science grant (MINIATURA 1); no. 2017/01/X/HS3/00689. 90 Filip Kubiaczyk but also Spaniards.

It analyses the official nationalist doctrine developed during the dictatorship of Primo de Rivera and its transmission throughout Spanish society. It sets out to explain the ideological evolution of conservative Spanish nationalism in the 1920s and the process of ‘nationalisation of the masses’ undertaken by the state. The thesis is divided into two main thematic areas. The first part covers the making of the nationalist doctrine by the ideologues of the regime. Following a first chapter on Spanish nationalism prior to the dictatorship, Chapter 2 deals with the official discourse during the Military Directory (1923-1925) and Chapter 3 focuses on the phmorriverista nationalist doctrine during the Civil Directory (1926-1930).
