We also know well the ideological foundations, the connection with the economic situation, and the social composition of the groups behind the revolution. What is less known are some of the mobilization dynamics used by the Progressive Party and the groups to its left to carry out the insurrection. In the years prior to the revolution, the insurgents organized patriotic banquets, civic parades, and similar events in city squares, pleasure gardens, and monuments, all charged with revolutionary symbolism. Many of the spaces used to spread insurrectional culture were recently created in the process of the expansion of the Spanish cities. This article studies the use made by Progressives and their allies of captivating forms of mobilization in these new public spaces and places of memory to attract the popular groups to the revolution.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"239 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89891769","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}

The vast majority of written works in the language were religious books. This would change significantly throughout the first third of the century with a notable increase in the number of texts in this language and a change in content; published texts were political or written with, and about, hymns and dances, all in a more manageable format than their predecessors. This article seeks to understand this quantitative and thematic change, and of format, which was closely linked to the process of popular politicisation experienced in the Hispanic monarchy around that time. I will untangle the motives for creating and disseminating these texts and the reception of the discourses contained therein by the target audience, i.e. the popular classes, for whom a modern political language, until then indiscernible in this language, was created or adapted. Basque-language printed material was a local manifestation of this context and can aid in understanding similar manifestations in other locations. With this, we can discover the media used to involve marginal and popular (to varying degrees) communities in the emerging public sphere.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"60 1","pages":"203 - 220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91014710","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 looks at the aims of the Chamber and its successor organisation the Federation of Catalan Cooperatives, as expressed at congresses and in the movement’s press and then analyses the tactics adopted to achieve these and why, in general, they did not enjoy the success that was hoped for. The founders of the Chamber were influenced by movements in other countries, specifically France, Belgium and the United Kingdom and was a member of the International Cooperative Alliance adopting the principles of these including political neutrality and the belief in acting independently of the State and political organisations. It was hoped that Catalan cooperatives would be able to catch up with and match the strength and influence of cooperatives in these countries. However, although the cooperative movement enjoyed spectacular growth during the Civil War, much of the progress that was made by cooperatives was due to circumstance and state intervention rather than due to the movement itself.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"21 1","pages":"283 - 304"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87192318","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}

However, he enjoyed great prestige during the 1920s and 1930s thanks to his novels, essays, leaflets, and articles, which were widely read by a libertarian and working-class audience. Noja Ruiz was a man of many talents: a social writer and novelist, an anarcho-syndicalist essayist and thinker, a rationalist teacher, and a pedagogue. In addition to this intellectual and cultural activity, Noja’s militant commitment included agitation and tireless propaganda efforts as a libertarian “man of action,” especially in the late 1910s and early 1920s. This article is part of a broader study on the life and work of Noja and it reflects firstly on the Spanish anarchist culture of the first half of the 20th century; secondly, it deals with the different models of militancy within the libertarian movement in Spain; and thirdly, it assesses how useful the study of biographies can be in those two research fields.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"776 1","pages":"59 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78837289","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}

First, the national honourable soldier-citizen image, which was forged since the 1790s, will be analysed. After Waterloo, political trips by the members of the “Liberal International” were continuous before, during and after revolutions inspired by the Cadiz Constitution, which in the Spanish and Portuguese cases lasted until 1823. These Iberian countries acted as crucial refuges for political émigrés and their subsequent exiles. Pepe was the most important revolutionary reference which visited them, fleeing from Naples, and trying to defend and expand European liberal-constitutional systems.

To answer this question, this paper examines anti-imperialist solidarity campaigns and their role in the politics of Mexico City in the 1920s. The paper analyzes two political movements: the campaign against the conviction of the Italian-American anarchists Sacco and Vanzetti in the United States and the campaign in solidarity with rebel general Augusto César Sandino who fought against US troops in his native Nicaragua. Transnational solidarity campaigns, it is argued, were an important link between local radical activism and global movements as solidarity had to be performed locally and envisioned globally. Demonstrations, economic boycotts, and public fundraising campaigns were means to perform solidarity in the city, linking local activism to the global anti-imperialist movement. With the example of activism in Mexico City in the post-revolutionary 1920s, this paper analyzes performative and ideological change over time and how the asymmetric potential of localization and globalization affect transnational solidarity campaigns.","PeriodicalId":53911,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"80 1","pages":"131 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80376233","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}
