Abstract:
|
The paper is divided into three parts. First, I present a critical approach to Kohn¿s distinction
between civic and ethnic nationalism where I also emphasize the competitive character of nationalism. Second, I present the different conceptions of Spain and Catalonia held by
contemporary Spanish and Catalan nationalism, particularly since the Catalan parliament started
the process to reform the Charter of Autonomy of 1979. Third, I present a range of responses
from Spanish nationalism in this period, where some elements can be interpreted as a modern
version of ethnicity. |
