Church Burning: Desecrating and Recreating Sacred Space in Twentieth-Century Spain
This article examines ideas of sacred space in twentieth-century Spain, looking in particular at the phenomenon of church burning. Arson attacks on ecclesiastical buildings punctuate Spanish history from the 1909 Tragic Week to the Civil War. The form of the attack was consistent, with the assailants targeting church interiors rather than the building itself. This, the article argues, reflected an anticlerical imaginary in which confinement, secl…
Impact of Training and Development on Employee Job Performance in Nigeria
This study focuses on the impact of training and development on employee's job performance in Nigeria. Training and development is a critical process, which seeks to improve the performance of workers in an organization. The study defined the concept of staff training and development; it identified stages in organizing staff training and development such as orientation, in service programme, job rotation and in-house training. The study establish…
Understanding Violence
Any civil war leaves a legacy of partisanship. Divisions persist over time and may be particularly bitter when, as in Spain, a culture of victory survives long after the end of hostilities. Any attempt at reconciliation was postponed, leading to an unusually bifurcated historiography, framed by a perennial interest into who, at base, was responsible for the outbreak of the civil war. The parameters of this debate were set in the 1970s, most notab…
The ‘Martyrdom of Things’: Iconoclasm and Its Meanings in the Spanish Civil War
The anticlerical violence of the Spanish Civil War has received significant scholarly attention in recent years. However, there has been relatively little focus on the iconoclasm, even though the destruction of objects was easily the most common form of anticlerical violence. Nor has the effect of iconoclastic violence on those who treasured or venerated these objects been examined. This article looks at the emotional significance of the material…
La Semana Santa en el nacionalcatolicismo: Espacio urbano, arte e historia. El caso de Valladolid (1939-1949)
This article looks at the (re)invention of Holy Week in post-Civil War Spain. Although clearly a “rite of victory”, Holy Week proved to be both durable and popular, a regular, annual event that became part of the social fabric of postwar provincial Spain. Taking the case of Valladolid, the article shows that Holy Week involved municipal and commerical interests from the start. The liturgies of Holy Week helped to define an emergent National Catho…
Political Violence and Mass Society
This chapter examines political violence in a new age of mass politics, looking in particular at ideas of a ‘European civil war’. Civil war, however, requires more than ideological division and was a discrete and unusual circumstance. The chapter problematizes binary understandings of Left and Right, looking instead at struggles for public space, youth, and masculinity as key aspects of the political and cultural violence of the interwar period. …

Ungodly Subjects: Protestants in National-Catholic Spain, 1939–53
This article examines the little-known history of the Protestant minority in Spain in the years after Franco’s victory in 1939, looking at the reality of Catholic ‘unity’ and the position of the internal ‘other’ under National-Catholicism – the hegemonic ideological expression of Franco’s Spain. Arguing that, rather than substituting for fascism, National-Catholicism in fact served as a transitional rhetoric, the article examines the anti-Protest…
Made Flesh? Gender and Doctrine in Religious Violence in Twentieth‐Century Spain
The incarnation is the central doctrine of Christianity yet has received little attention from historians. The idea of God made flesh, and the embodiment of the divine in the person of Jesus Christ, distinguishes the Christian religion from other monotheistic faiths and makes gender fundamental to Christianity. From the Reformation, Protestant creeds brought a new emphasis on God as word while Catholicism continued to stress the bodily reality of…
Spain
This article examines the different facets of Spanish fascism. The Spanish fascist project was essentially secular. For perhaps the first time on the Spanish right, fascism offered a radical break with the past. The reliance on religion, which had for some time defined the essential difference between left and right in Spain, was reworked to make Catholicism a national attribute. Francoism, meanwhile, was a hybrid, the result of a profound dialec…

Gender and Morals in Spanish Catholic Youth Culture: A Case Study of the Marian Congregations 1930–1936
Jesuit‐run Marian Congregations proliferated in 1930s Spain. Drawing on literature produced for their members, this article demonstrates how gendered understandings were fundamental to the congregations' symbolic delineation of an uncontaminated Catholic space. Visions of an incorrupt male elite abound, reinforcing the Jesuits' educational mission among future leaders and opinion‐formers. In contrast, the purity of women and children was seen as …

The French and Spanish Popular Fronts: Comparative Perspectives
The menace of triumphant Nazism and fascism across Europe in the 1930s drove the left into unity with liberals, in order to make common cause against the extremist right. Popular Front initiatives were a significant attempt to bar the way to further fascist victories. This collection of essays focuses specifically on France and Spain as the only two countries where Popular Front coalitions won political power through the ballot box. From a compar…
