It focuses at three historical moments: the second half of the 19th century, the Centennial of the Revolution of independence in 1910 and the first Peronist government (19461952). It tries to show that the reading of the Argentine history that the Catholics elaborated in this last context was the ideological foundation of a project of confessionalization of the State that proposed the restriction of political, civil and religious rights that non-Catholics enjoyed.","PeriodicalId":36376,"journal":{"name":"Rubrica Contemporanea","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71044764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It explains the role of the island of Sicily as a British base since 1806, as well as that of the island of Menorca and especially that of the port of Mahon since the beginning of the war in Spain in 1808. Converted also into an English base, Menorca served to the supply and repair of the Royal Navy, was the departure point of the surveillance of the French fleet of Toulon as well as a recreation place for officers and sailors. Finally, the communication extends to the characteristics of the British intervention in Catalonia, both in the logistical and military aspects; in the personality and performance of commodore Codrington –who commanded the naval squadron that operated on Catalonian coasts– and in the vision of the Spaniards and Catalans over English politicians and military men.","PeriodicalId":36376,"journal":{"name":"Rubrica Contemporanea","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71044702","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper aims to explore this connection from a gender perspective during Franco’s dictatorship by analysing the oral testimonies of four Catholic women who were born and/or were living in the Basque Country during the period 1940-70. It will also consider the differences in discourse in urban and rural environments by examining journals and newsletters published by distinct Catholic movements. Two hypotheses will be argued: first, that the changes experienced by Catholicism from the mid-1950s were decisive in the transformation of the religious and gender identity of these women; and second, that changes to the hegemonic femininity model generated tension in Basque nationalist discourse.","PeriodicalId":36376,"journal":{"name":"Rubrica Contemporanea","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71044959","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the Spanish case, that discourse was reinforced by liberalism and by the great influence that Catholicism maintained in the political, social and cultural spheres. However, there other discourses relativized the importance of the nation as a historical instance that would be overcome in the inevitable course of the history of Humanity. Although this concept, Humanity, was initially associated with the Christian sense of unity, fraternity and universality, it was acquiring new meanings and uses in the accounts of the Philosophy of History and Universal History, of increasing influence. The aim of this article is to highlight the importance of this new and alternative supranational discourse and its gradual secularization during the second half of the 19th century in Spain. In order to do so, the main works and authors that built a historical account underpinning a democratic project of society based on a gradual universal and peaceful federation of nations within Humanity are analysed.","PeriodicalId":36376,"journal":{"name":"Rubrica Contemporanea","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71044817","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
