El (re)descubrimiento del sujeto y el análisis de las experiencias. Nuevos enfoques transdisciplinares al estudio de la guerra civil y la posguerra
El argumento central que desarrolla el presente artículo es que algunos de los principales avances que se han producido en la historiografía focalizada en el estudio de la guerra civil y la dictadura franquista han venido propiciados por el diálogo interdisciplinar mantenido con las vecinas ciencias sociales. En concreto, el interés recae en lo que parece estar siendo un (re)descubrimiento del sujeto y una atención renovada por las experiencias y…
Virility, fascism and regeneration in post‐Civil War Spain
In the years immediately following the Spanish Civil War, the political culture of Falangism developed a deeply gendered regenerationist discourse, which proposed that regeneration would only be possible if the nation recovered its virile attributes. This article focuses on a case study that allows us to better understand this gendered conception of the nation in terms of virility: the discourse developed around the Spanish Romantic writers of th…
Metáforas de linealidad, género y fascismo español. Una propuesta de análisis socio-metafórico
El objetivo de este artículo es reflexionar sobre la utilidad de las metáforas para las ciencias sociales. Constatado el escaso interés que su estudio ha suscitado dentro de estas disciplinas, se proponen algunas pistas para profundizar en el enfoque socio-metafórico, aplicándolo al caso de la cultura política falangista de los años de la Guerra Civil e inmediata posguerra. De forma específica, este texto pretende indagar en el significado de las…
Sensibilidades estéticas, regeneración y virilidad
El presente artículo parte de la dimensión regeneracionista que, en tanto fascismo, tuvo el discurso falangista de la inmediata posguerra española para asumir que, tal y como ocurrió en otros contextos nacionales y otros discursos emergidos entre el último tercio del siglo XIX y las dos primeras décadas del siglo XX, este tuvo una dimensión de género: si bien la decadencia se pensó a partir de procesos de afeminamiento, la regeneración lo hizo ar…
Renegotiating the Boundaries of the Virile Nation
Throughout the years immediately following the Spanish Civil War, Francoist discourse on the nation was strongly linked to the idea of virility. All the different political cultures of the dictatorship defined the Spanish nation as intrinsically shaped around values that spoke firstly of daring, strength and vigour, but also of self-discipline, restraint and control. Despite the intensity of this discourse, the narrative it presented revealed por…
Reactionary Nationalists, Fascists and Dictatorships in the Twentieth Century
This book provides a comparative study of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms. It presents these as transnational political cultures and examines the dictatorships and regimes in which these cultures played significant roles. The book is organised into three main sections, focusing on nationalists, fascists and dictatorships in turn. The chapters range across French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German experiences, and include a broader ove…
Análisis socio-metafórico y culturas políticas
Partiendo de la idea de que el interés del análisis socio-metafórico reside en estudiar las metáforas en tanto pistas que nos acercan a valores, presupuestos, deseos y expectativas de quienes las producen y utilizan, este artículo propone centrar dicho análisis en un sujeto colectivo suficientemente rico y, a la par, convenientemente delimitado: las culturas políticas. Definidas, estas últimas, en la línea de lo propuesto por la denominada histor…
The “corporealization” of the nation
The present article focuses on the particular case of the nationalist discourse of Spanish fascism during the Spanish Civil War and the immediate postwar period (1936–1941), in order to explore one specific aspect of it: the characterization of the enemy Republican nation that was to be fought against as unclean and viscous or sticky. The aim here is to analyse what meanings these references possessed and what they can tell us about the general p…
Cuerpo y nación
Este artículo parte de la idea de que, a lo largo de los años de la guerra y de la inmediata posguerra, el discurso nacionalista de Falange configuró un ideal de nación española estructurado alrededor de los valores de sobriedad, austeridad, linealidad y jerarquía. Dichos valores se condensaron en la apelación y continua reivindicación de la verticalidad, considerando que tanto España como la propia Falange eran, por encima de todo, verticales. E…
The Simple Geometry of 'Linearism'. Metaphors of the Nation in the Radical Falangist Discourse of the Immediate Postwar Period in Spain
Taking as a point of departure the understanding that metaphors, as linguistic expressions, indicate the thought processes of those who formulate them, the present article explores a specific metaphor that formed part of the discourse of radical Falangism: the definition of the Spanish nation as straight, upright, linear or vertical, in opposition to another Spain that had to be combatted, and which was portrayed as twisted. The argument put forw…
Paisaje y nacionalismo en el primer franquismo
Assuming the theoretical idea widely developed by Human Geography that landscapes are cultural constructions with the capacity to become symbolic elements within nationalist discourses, this article explores the context of early Francoism. The aim of these pages is to analyze landscape sensibility as well as the landscape idea developed by the francoist nationalist discourse by trying to draw out three inherent elements in it: first of all, follo…
Spanish Imperial Destiny
The aim of this article is to analyze the meaning of the concept of empire during the first years of the Francoist regime and try to clarify the different meanings that the various political and ideological groups that were part of the dictatorship gave to this concept. As will be explained, it is possible to find two main meanings for the concept of empire. The first one was linked to the notion of Hispanidad and was developed by the Catholic an…
Spanish Fascism as a Political Religion (1931–1941)
This article focuses on the controversial argument that Spanish Fascism, organized in the political party Falange Española (FE y de las JONS), can be interpreted as a form of political religion, understood in the sense of Emilio Gentile. The central thesis is that Spanish Fascism was a political religion during the Republican period, that is, from the time of its consolidation during the early 1930s to the beginning of the Civil War. However – an…
