  • 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.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).

  • Obsesión Definición: Idea, Deseo O Imagen Que Aparece De Forma Reiterada Y Persistente Y Que El Sujeto No Puede Alejar Voluntariamente De La Conciencia
    obsesión Definición: idea, deseo o imagen que aparece de forma reiterada y persistente y que el sujeto no puede alejar voluntariamente de la conciencia. Posee un carácter compulsivo y adquiere una con- dición penosa y angustiante. (Diccionario María Moliner) La obsesión es un pensamiento, una imagen o un impulso incontrolable y persistente que invade nuestra mente por la fuerza; nos asedia, nos angus- tia, nos aísla y nos paraliza. En un intento de aliviar la intensa ansiedad que causan estas ideas intrusas, los afectados a menudo recurren a actos, tan improductivos como irresisti- bles, o rituales compulsivos —por ejemplo, repetir palabras o números, rezar de forma desconsolada, lavarse las manos sin parar, comprobar una y otra vez si las puertas están cerradas u ordenar con meti- culosidad durante horas los objetos que les rodean. Las obsesiones y comportamientos repetitivos que adoptan quienes los sufren para calmar la ansie- dad, absorben su atención, perturban el equilibrio mental, interfieren en sus ocupaciones y relaciones, consumen su energía vital y, a la larga, socavan su bienestar físico, psicológico y social. En medicina y psicología clínica, la obsesión crónica que causa intensa angustia y altera seriamente las actividades diarias de la persona se cataloga como trastorno de ansiedad obsesivo-compulsivo. En la actualidad se desconoce la causa exacta de dicho trastorno. La teoría más aceptada considera que es consecuencia de una mezcla del equipaje gené- tico, la personalidad, el medio social y los efectos de experiencias traumáticas.

  • Costa Barcelona English
    Costa Barcelona English Costa Barcelona L’Alt Penedès, El Baix Llobregat, El Garraf, El Maresme, El Vallès Occidental and El Vallès Oriental are the six regions that make up the Costa Barcelona tourism brand, an area which is defined and guided by its relationship with the sea but in which the land, plains, gentle mountain ranges and Mediterranean vegetation also form an essential part of life. Sea and mountain, cities and culture www.barcelonaesmoltmes.cat A fairly densely populated area, with numerous large cities and major transport routes, which also benefits from large expanses of lush natural landscape, as well as vineyards and other crops, and preserves numerous examples of cultural and religious heritage that stand as a testament to its long and rich history. The proximity to Barcelona has undoubtedly exerted an influence over the six regions in the past, as it continues to do today. However, each has its own unique identity, way of life and of doing things, its places of business, of leisure, commercial hubs, long-established festivals and cuisine to delight the palate, replete with local recipes and regional produce. An area that, on top of its summertime draw for those seeking sun and sea, has more than enough attractions to warrant a visit, short or long, all year round: Modernisme, or Catalan Art Nouveau, is found in abundance, be it in former summer residences, residential or industrial buildings; wine tourism, particularly in the regions of L’Alt Penedès and El Maresme (DO Alella); El Garraf, a region that tells us about those who went to make their fortunes in the Americas, Los Indianos, as well as the artists who gathered there a little over a century ago; towns where you can opt to kick back and relax or look to improve your health thanks to the spa waters found there; museums covering a wide variety of subject areas and first-rate music festivals; fairs; markets; conferences; and more.
