摘要
几年来,民族和宗教不再被视为两个对立的——或者实际上是对立的——现实(Van Der Veer and Lehmann 1999)。最近的史学研究表明,在现代,这两个因素之间交织着复杂而丰富的关系(Haupt and Langewiesche 2001, 2004;布鲁巴克2012)。那些将宗教置于反现代性范畴的陈词滥调——一种进步的障碍,与这个国家充满活力和世俗化的现代性不相容——已被抛在脑后。那些宣称某些信仰的全球性和普世性与任何国家/民族主义表述都不可调和的理论也已被克服。因此,现在谈论一个天主教国家,似乎不像上世纪90年代那样自相矛盾。承认宗教民族主义的存在是克服一系列俗套、提出新问题和丰富关于民族主义的辩论的第一步。因此,对宗教衰落的研究有助于在现代主义和长期主义对国家的看法之间的辩论中找到一个交叉点,即那些认为国家是一个现代和世俗现象的人,以及那些强调前现代元素在现代国家身份配置中的重要性的阅读(Moreno-Almendral 2020)。根据后一种解读,民族主义者将他们的项目配置为强大的宗教话语,例如被选中的人(Smith 1991,2008)。然而,尽管注意到这些修辞人物的足迹,但这种方法忽视了这些宗教习俗、符号和空间的国有化过程,从而有可能最终使正在创建过程中的民族身份本质化(Ramón Solans 2019)。同样,对宗教的研究对于接近民族主义研究中最有趣的辩论之一是必不可少的:国家的内部化和归化(Quiroga Fernández de Soto 2013;同样1995)。天主教会是传播这些价值观的一个非常有效的渠道,因为它在仪式和符号中引入了这些价值观,这些价值观被人们所认可和吸收
Introduction: celestial nations, earthly religions. Catholicism and nationalism in Spain and Latin America in the nineteenth century
For several years, nation and religion have no longer been viewed as two dichotomous – or indeed opposing – realities (Van Der Veer and Lehmann 1999). Recent historiography has demonstrated the complex and fertile relationship that was woven between the two elements in the modern era (Haupt and Langewiesche 2001, 2004; Brubaker 2012). The clichés that situated religion in the sphere of antimodernity – a hindrance to progress, incompatible with the vibrant and secularised modernity of the nation – have been left behind. The theories that declared the global and ecumenical dimensions of certain faiths irreconcilable with any national/nationalist formulation have also been overcome. To speak of a Catholic nation now, therefore, does not seem as paradoxical as it did in the 1990s. The acknowledgement of the existence of religious nationalisms constituted the first step towards overcoming a series of commonplaces, opening new questions and enriching debates on nationalism. The study of religious decline can thus contribute to finding an intersection in the debate between modernist and perennialist views of the nation, that is between those who argue that the nation is a modern and secularised phenomenon, and those readings that highlight the importance of pre-modern elements in the configuration of modern national identities (Moreno-Almendral 2020). According to this latter reading, nationalists configured their projects as powerful religious discourses such as that of the chosen people (Smith 1991, 2008). Despite noting the footprint of these rhetoric figures, however, this approach neglected the process of nationalisation of these religious practices, symbols and spaces, thereby risking ending up essentialising the national identities that were in the process of being created (Ramón Solans 2019). In the same way, the study of religion is essential for approaching one of the most interesting debates that has been advanced in studies of nationalism: that of the interiorisation and naturalisation of the nation (Quiroga Fernández de Soto 2013; Billig 1995). The Catholic Church acts as a very effective channel for transmitting these values, since it introduces them in rituals and symbols that are recognised and absorbed by the
