La construcción legendaria de la identidad. De los estereotipos sobre Castilla a la conmemoración de Villalar

Abstract

This paper deals with the legendary construction of identity in a specific case: the origins and character of Old Castile. The article also enphasizes the double influence of the «great» and «little» traditions in the creation of regional and national stereotypes. This approach to identity focuses on the different levels of identification that castilians have used depending on context, place and time.
