  • The Rival Durrutis: the Posthumous Cult of Personality of Buenaventura
    CHRISTOPHER BANNISTER, PHD RESEARCHER, EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY INSTITUTE The Rival Durrutis: The Posthumous Cult of Personality of Buenaventura Durruti, November, 1936 – June, 1937 Newcastle University MLitt Dissertation, submitted August 2009 6/29/2010 This is an extract from a Master’s thesis submitted in August 2009, the thesis was concerned with the posthumous cult of personality of Buenaventura Durruti during the Spanish Civil War and detailed the rise of the living cult and the perpetuation of the cult following the subject’s death. This extract details the cult in the period November 1936 to June 1937. Introduction On 22 November 1936 the anarchist working class of Barcelona took to the streets. No barricades were erected, as on this day as the city was not united by revolution, but in grief. The widespread mourning was for the funeral of Buenaventura Durruti, killed in the heroic defence of Madrid. Durruti was, according to press reports, tragically struck down by a snipers bullet as he inspected his troops at the front.11 By the evening of 21 November the city’s streets were impassable as the proletariat gathered to pay their respects to the one they called ‘our Durruti’.2 The funeral began at ten the following morning as the body left the headquarters of the anarchist union, the Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (National Confederation of Labour, CNT), and proceeded down the Via Layetana, renamed Via Durruti, in honour of the legendary anarchist.3 The procession was followed by hundreds of thousands of mourners, many carrying banners and flags celebrating the ‘hero of the people’ and ‘the fallen hero of liberty’.4 Those without totems raised their fists in the air and sang the anarchist hymn Hijos del pueblo, (sons of the people).5 As the cortège reached Las Ramblas the crowds swelled further, as people climbed trees to catch a glimpse of the body, the exact number of mourners was never recorded, but estimates put 1 Abel Paz, Durruti in the Spanish Revolution (Edinburgh: AK Press, 2007), p.

    British Press Coverage of Nazi Antisemitism, 1933 - 1938 Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Shuang Wu, M.A. Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2018 Thesis Committee: Robin Judd, Adviser Jennifer Siegel Copyright by Shuang Wu 2018 !2 Abstract From Adolf Hitler’s seizure of power in March 1933 until the Kristallnacht in November 1938, the British press provided a comprehensive narrative concerning the anti-Jewish persecutions in Germany. The staff of the Times, the Daily Mail, the Manchester Guardian, the Financial Times, the Economist and the Spectator condemned the Jewish persecutions and expressed concern for the Jews in different degrees. When they discussed the Jewish refugees, they were aware of Britain’s national interests, and revealed their hesitation to accept the Jews through the press. A close examination of the reportage also shows that the editors and correspondents of these publications held different perspectives towards Nazi Germany, which influenced their narratives and attitudes towards the antisemitic events. !3ii Vita June 2011…………………………….High School Affiliated with Shanghai Jiao Tong University May 2016…………………………….B.A. History, University of Wisconsin-Madison Fields of Study Major Field: History iii!4 Table of Contents Abstract……………………………………………………………………………………......ii Vita…………………………………………………………………………………………....iii Essay…………………………………………………………………………………………...1 Bibliography…………………………………………………………………………………..42
