Abstract

Comment les Barcelonais sont-ils devenus Catalans ? La question peut paraître provocatrice. Pourtant, entre le moment où l’État libéral se construit et la veille de la Guerre civile, Barcelone connaît un bouleversement identitaire sans précédent qui change sa manière de se sentir catalane. Les politiques de mémoire, c’est-à-dire l’ensemble des usages politiques du passé, offrent un point de vue original sur ce phénomène : à l’aide de monuments commémoratifs et de plaques de rue, de nouvelles références au passé racontent une autre histoire de la Catalogne et de l’Espagne. Mais la détermination d’une mémoire hégémonique, avalisée par les autorités locales, est l’objet d’innombrables conflits politiquesque ce livre se propose de décrire. C’est au fond à une évocation inédite de Barcelone, de sa vie politique, sociale et culturelle que le lecteur est invité ici. Au-delà de cette histoire, il reste une passion « statuomaniaque », qu’il s’agit de comprendre. Une sociologie de la mémoire conduit à décrypter les fondements de la société commémorante, cette partie de la société catalane qui prend en charge pour l’ensemble de la collectivité la gestion des souvenirs collectifs. Qui sont les entrepreneurs de mémoire ? Quelles stratégies déploient-ils pour plier l’ensemble de la société à l’exercice du souvenir ? À quelle époque est née la commémoration ? Quel intérêt les Barcelonais de la fin du xixe siècle trouvent-ils à multiplier les rites commémoratifs ? Quel sens ce geste revêt-il à leurs yeux ? Quel rapport existe entre la commémoration et les différentes formes de mobilisation collective qui surgissent au xixe siècle, telles la grève et la manifestation ? Quels sont les lieux urbains privilégiés de cette activité mémorielle ? À travers ces questions, on constate que la mémoire n’est pas seulement un discours sur le passé d’un groupe mais aussi une pratique sociale ancrée dans une époque. Barcelone, mémoire et identité est un essai d’histoire de la mémoire qui tente de…

Abstract

This volume examines the early growth of Barcelona and the formation of its ruling classes. The city did not at first grow because of overseas trade but because of market-oriented agriculture and tribute from Islamic Spain. Only after a difficult adjustment did the city develop the commercial foundations which would later ensure its prosperity. Barcelona's patriciate rose to prominence during the second stage of growth, its rise forming part of a profound restructuring of territorial power in response to the 'feudal crisis' that challenged traditional authority throughout Catalonia. Patrician families did not model themselves after noble patrilineages, but forged marital alliances in which the wife's dowry played a fundamental role. In this new book the family structure of the patriciate receives close examination and many traditional assumptions about the nature of Mediterranean towns are challenged.

Abstract

Thinking Barcelona studies the ideological work that redefined Barcelona during the 1980s and adapted the city to a new economy of tourism, culture, and services. The 1992 Olympic Games offered to the municipal government a double opportunity to establish an internal consensus and launch Barcelona as a happy combination of European cosmopolitanism and Mediterranean rootedness. The staging of this municipal "euphoric postpolitics," which entailed an extensive process of urban renewal, connects with the similarly exultant contexts of a reviving Catalan nation, post-transitional Spain, and post-Cold War globalization. The transformation of Barcelona, in turn, contributed to define the ideologies of globalization, as the 1992 Games were among the first global mega-events that celebrated the neoliberal "end of history." Three types of materials are examined: political speeches and scripts of the Olympic ceremonies, with special focus on Xavier Rubert de Ventós's screenplay for the reception of the flame in Empúries; the urban renewal of Barcelona directed by architect Oriol Bohigas; and fictional narratives by Quim Monzó, Francisco Casavella, Eduardo Mendoza, and Sergi Pàmies. This juxtaposition of heterogeneous materials pursues some type of postdisciplinary decoding linked to a strictly Marxist premise: the premise that correlations between different superstructural elements shed light on the economic instance. In this study, Barcelona emerges as a singular conjuncture overdetermined by global capitalism, but is also a space to reflect on three main problematics of postmodern globalization: the spectralization of the social in a fully commodified world; the contradiction between cosmopolitanism and the state; and the vanishing essence of the city.

Abstract

This book argues the crucial role of culture and cultural policies in defining the notion of urban citizenship in Barcelona since 1979. Through analysis of official documents, municipal publicity campaigns, sport – including the Olympic Games and Barcelona F.C – and film, Balibrea makes sense of the city as a global cultural destination and reveals how such transformation impacts local inhabitants. Scrutinizing municipal discourses on culture from the late 1970s, this interdisciplinary work unveils how ideas of the function and nature of citizenship articulate changing definitions of the city, from model to brand. Over the course of topics such as: tourism, social democracy and urban regeneration, Balibrea constructs an original argument for how the Barcelona image mobilizes neoliberal fantasies of subject transformation. A wide-ranging study, this book will be of great interest to scholars of urban geography, sociology and cultural studies. .

Abstract

Aux XIVe et XVe siècles, les échelles du Levant attiraient de nombreux commerçants occidentaux qui venaient y acheter les précieuses épices venues d'Asie. Parmi ces marchands, les historiens ont jusqu'à présent plutôt négligé un groupe original, celui des Barcelonais, que le présent ouvrage étudie à la lumière d'une documentation abondante et largement inédite. Avec l'appui de leur souverain et des édiles de la capitale catalane, ces négociants se dotèrent d'une flotte nombreuse qui leur permit d'établir de fructueuses relations d'import-export avec le sultanat mamelouk d'Égypte et de Syrie. Ils connurent souvent une remarquable ascension sociale qui stimulait leur appétit de pouvoir au sein de la cité et provoqua donc d'inévitables conflits avec les membres de l'oligarchie municipale. En définitive, malgré la concurrence directe de Venise et de Gênes, ses puissantes rivales, Barcelone s'affirma comme un pôle de première importance dans l'expansion commerciale européenne qui se déploya alors à travers la Méditerranée et dont le dynamisme remet en question l'idée répandue d'une conjoncture économique profondément et durablement déprimée pendant l' « automne du Moyen Âge ».

Abstract

Following the Great War's devastation, innovative movements in France offered competing visions of a revitalized national body and a new world order. One of these was the postwar Catholic revival or renouveau catholique. Since the church had historically been the dominant religious force in France, its turn of the century separation from the state was especially bitter. For many Catholics, the 1914-18 sacrifices made on the Republic's behalf necessitated its postwar 're-Christianization.' However, in their attempt to reconcile Catholicism with culture, revivalists needed to abandon old oppositions and adapt religion's rigging to the prevailing winds of modernity. Stephen Schloesser's Jazz Age Catholicism shows how a postwar generation of Catholics refashioned traditional notions of sacramentalism in modern language and imagery. Jacques Maritain's philosophy, Georges Rouault's visual art, Georges Bernanos's fiction, and Charles Tournemire's music all reclothed ancient tropes in new fashions. By the late 1920s, the renouveau catholique had successfully positioned Catholic intellectual and cultural discourse at the very centre of elite French life. Its synthesis of Catholicism and culture would define the religiosity of many throughout Western Europe and the Americas into the 1960s.
