This volume helps us to understand that the current political
disorders in Catalonia have deep cultural roots. It focuses on the
rise of Catalan cultural, national and linguistic identity in the
20th century. What is happening in Catalonia? What lies behind its
political conflicts? Catalan identity has been evolving for
centuries, starting in early medieval ages (11th and 12lve
centuries). It is not a modern phenomenon. The emergence of
imperial Spain in the 16 c. and the French Ancien Regime in the 17
c. correlates with a decline of Catalan culture, which was
politically absorbed by the Spanish state after the conquest of
Barcelona in 1714. However, Catalan language and culture flourished
again under the stimulus of the European Romantic Nationalism
movement (known as the Renaixenca in Catalonia). During the first
Dictatorship (Primo de Rivera, 1923-1930), the Spanish Civil War
(1936-1939), and the long Francoist era (1939-1975), Catalan
language and culture were repressed, yet refurbished and
reconstructed at the same time. This rise of a plural, complex, and
non-homogeneous Catalan identity constitutes the subject matter of
this volume. National conflicts that emerged later in the Spanish
democratic state leant heavily on the life engagement and vital
commitment experienced by the entrenched intellectual movements of
the twentieth century in Catalonia, Valencian Country and the
Balearic Islands. This book reveals the cultural and literary
grassroots of these conflicts.
