  • 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.

  • Catalonian Architectural Identity
    Catalan Identity as Expressed Through Architecture Devon G. Shifflett HIST 348-01: The History of Spain November 18, 2020 1 Catalonia (Catalunya) is an autonomous community in Spain with a unique culture and language developed over hundreds of years. This unique culture and language led to Catalans developing a concept of Catalan identity which encapsulates Catalonia’s history, cuisine, architecture, culture, and language. Catalan architects have developed distinctly Catalan styles of architecture to display Catalan identity in a public and physical setting; the resulting buildings serve as a physical embodiment of Catalan identity and signify spaces within Catalan cities as distinctly Catalonian. The major architectural movements that accomplish this are Modernisme, Noucentisme, and Postmodernism. These architectural movements have produced unique and beautiful buildings in Catalonia that serve as symbols for Catalan national unity. Catalonia’s long history, which spans thousands of years, contributes heavily to the development of Catalan identity and nationalism. Various Celtiberian tribes initially inhabited the region of Iberia that later became Catalonia.1 During the Second Punic War (218-201 BC), Rome began its conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, which was occupied by the Carthaginians and Celtiberians, and established significant colonies around the Pyrennees mountain range that eventually become Barcelona and Tarragona; it was during Roman rule that Christianity began to spread throughout Catalonia, which is an important facet of Catalan identity.2 Throughout the centuries following Roman rule, the Visigoths, Frankish, and Moorish peoples ruled Catalonia, with Moorish rule beginning to flounder in the tenth-century.3 Approximately the year 1060 marked the beginning of Catalan independence; throughout this period of independence, Catalonia was very prosperous and contributed heavily to the Reconquista.4 This period of independence did not last long, though, with Catalonia and Aragon's union beginning in 1 Thomas N.

  • La Revista «Catalunya» (1903-05) I La Formació Del Noucentisme* Per Jaume Aulet
    La revista «Catalunya» (1903-05) i la formació del Noucentisme* per Jaume Aulet Els anys immediatament anteriors al 1906 són essencials per entenarc com tota una serie de grups o de persones concretes -la majoria encara molt jover i en situació universitaria- comencen a definir el que després s'anomenara Nou- centisme. Josep Carner és, en aquest sentit, un personatge clau -molt més que no pas el mateix Ors- i «Catalunya» esdevé una plataforma central en tot el procés. Diversos estudiosos i homes de lletres la citen com una de les revistes importants del moment. Miquel Gaya dira que «Catalunya» «ha passat a la his- toria com un dels exponents literaris més dignes d'admiració».' Emili Valles, un dels collaboradors, en un article a «La Revista» amb motiu del trente aniversari de la soitida al carrer de la publicació, en parla -enmig del record nostalgic de quan n'era redactor- com a «fibló que durant dos anys i mig prova de sensibi- litzar el nostre ambient».Vlhcid Vidal, a les seves membries, s'hi refereix amb elogi, tot i que el grup de Reus en quedi voluntariament distanciat: «No heu de suposar que la publicació "Catalunya" fos una revista qualsevol. Era una de les millors i més ben presentades de I'epoca i solien collaborar-hi alguns dels autors catalans de més prestigi.»"l mateix Maragall, en carta a Pijoan, reconeix que * Aquest article que ara es publica és la síntesi d'una part de la memoria de Ilí~enciatu~r que, amb el mateix títol, va ser presentada el dia 26 de maig de 1983 a la Universitat Autb- noma de Barcelona.

  • Gemma González E3E IES Icaria Primer Recorregut: Pedralbes I Zona Universitària Descripció Del Recorregut
    Recorreguts per Barcelona Gemma González E3E IES Icaria Primer recorregut: Pedralbes i Zona universitària Descripció del recorregut Hem començat el recorregut a la parada de metro Maria Cristina. Al sortir a la dreta, podem veure una escultura modernista i un carrer molt ample i amb bastant trànsit (l’Avinguda Diagonal). Al nostre davant, hi ha un gran Corte Inglés. A la nostra esquerra, podem veure l’edifici central de La Caixa, de color negre i rodó. També veiem diferents edificis amb oficines, petits restaurants i bars. A la dreta, hi han pisos per a viure i bastants bancs i fonts. Observem que el carrer està molt net. Caminant per l’avinguda, direcció Llobregat, arribem a la plaça Pius XII. És una plaça molt ample i rodona, i al centre es trobava una espècie de petit parc (Uns quants bancs, arbres i gespa). Hem pujat per l’Av. Pedralbes fins a arribar a la cantonada Manel Girona. En aquest carrer, ja hem notat com les cases son molt més residencials, els jardins i els carrers estan molt cuidats i molt nets. Els edificis que hi ha als costats con rectangulars i quadrats, amb molts balcons amples i uns jardins particulars molt grans. Curiosament, podem apreciar que hi ha dos portes: una per als residents de les cases i una altra més petita per al “Servicio” (Servei). Arribem a la cantonada Manel Girona.Trobem una porta amb un drac de ferro al centre. Es un drac fet per Antoni Gaudí (1852- 1926). Creiem que aquesta porta es la entrada al jardí Botànic de la Universitat de Barcelona.
