This study explores the role flags (mainly, the Senyera and the Estelada) have when constructing national identity in a diasporic context in relation to the Casal Català of New South Wales in Australia. Dialoguing with Michael Billig’s theorization of nationalism as “banal”, the study examines how that Casal makes use of the flags differently in both the organization’s digital platforms as well as in its most important public event, the annual celebration of the Diada. This investigation identifies a tension between the symbolic representation of Catalan independentism online and its public ritualization in person following the codes of banal nationalism; and, with the help of Victor Turner’s work on rituals and shared symbolic meanings, the investigation argues that that tension results in the practice of Catalan identity in Australia distanced from an independentist proselytism, which is nonetheless sustained in theory.

The study of usages and functions of flags remains underdeveloped, and particularly in the Iberoamerican sphere. This monograph establishes empirical and theoretical foundations to give impulse to this area of research and to move forward in the analysis of the reasons why the presence of flags in the public sphere fluctuates — very abruptly on occasion. Beyond the relation this may have with the contested concept of nationalism, the fluctuating public prominence of flags constitutes an intriguing phenomenon that raises substantive questions about social dynamics, political communication, and individual and collective behaviours in diverse cultural spheres.

This article shows the process of gestation, consolidation, and transformation of document appraisal in Colombia, based on a review of archival regulations. It is organized in four stages; the first one presents the background of the process related to the government's interest in the documentary heritage as a source of national identity; the second deals with the gestation of the process and the creation of its archival instruments; the third one responds to the consolidation as a result of the modification of procedures and instruments with the General Law on Archives as a framework; and the fourth focuses on the transformation of the process as a result of the impact of ICT on the production of archival documents. This journey allows identifying the relationship between the appraisal process and the interests of society, highlighting procedural issues in its application, to recognize the growth of the discipline over time and to emphasize the importance of studying the process continuously.

The immediate task of the Mexican post-revolutionary governments in the twenties was the creation and consolidation of institutions that would build the ideological program of the new state. In this task, intellectuals played a prominent role, particularly in the debate on the definitions of culture and national identity, which fostered an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, as well as tensions between different artistic and intellectual groups. This article analyzes two specific groups: the first headed by José Vasconcelos and the second by Pedro Henríquez Ureña. Both characters shared an intellectual bond and common purposes, but different ways of fulfilling those goals: on the one hand, as a maker of institutions, directly linked to the governmental structure and government actions and on the other, as a social critic. Thus, through the comparative analysis of two publications in particular: La falange. Revista de cultura latina, as organ of the group linked to José Vasconcelos, and Vida Mexicana. Revista mensual de ideas de interés, by those who followed Pedro Henríquez Ureña, analyzes the trajectory of two ways of understanding the social role attributed to intellectuals, the points in common of these groups, as well as the differences in the projects and trajectories that followed later.

Objective/context: The decade of the 1920s witnessed a significant transformation in Peruvian political culture with the widespread recognition of the indigenous problem as a socioeconomic phenomenon, which paved the way for new political languages. This article aims to recover the role of myth in the Peruvian indigenista debate during this period. Specifically, it delves into the literary polemic of indigenismo in 1927, focusing on how intellectuals from Lima, Cusco, and Puno bestowed their arguments with legitimacy, effectively intertwining literature and history through the incorporation of mythical elements. Methodology: The study proposes an examination of the arguments put forth by indigenista intellectuals using the tools of conceptual history, drawing heavily from Hans Blumenberg's work on myth. This theoretical framework helps uncover the semantic foundations of Peruvian indigenist's language and sheds light on the historical temporalities of their political projects. Originality: This article advances a novel analysis of the intellectual field by reinterpreting primary sources related to the 1927 indigenismo polemic, reconstructing synchronic languages on national identity, and highlighting the role of myth as a significant rhetorical device. By exploring how supporters of indigenismo creatively employed myth to imagine the past and mobilize politically, this study uncovers previously overlooked conceptual shifts and their mythical underpinnings. Conclusions: The study argues that myth played a crucial role in shaping the political language of a new generation of Peruvian intellectuals. Indigenismo facilitated the emergence of novel conceptual frameworks that interrogated national identity, accelerated expectations of change, and incorporated mythical elements from indigenous experiences, including rebellions in the south and the activities of the Comité Pro-Derecho Indígena Tahuantinsuyo. Concepts such as nation and socialism were democratized and imbued with mythical significance, reflecting the diverse temporalities within the indigenista movement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The recent identification of an Epitome del descubrimiento de la tierra de la Florida A Summary of the discovery of the land of Florida) as part of Garcilaso's promo- tional campaign for his Florida, ten years before its publication, provokes ques- tioning the multiple ways in which the need of patronage marks all his life and works. The eventual publication of La Florida in Lisbon under the protection of the House of Bragança, a surprising solution to his long patronage problems, can be read in conjunction with the 1557 Evora publication of the Relação verdadeira, as both result from analogous political environments. Both works are notorious cases of the rich trans-border Iberian culture of the time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the transition between the 19th and 20th centuries, Brazilian national identity and social thought were shaped considering the spatial and symbolic dichotomy of coast-sertão, with active involvement from psychiatry. However, in the realm of racialist theories studies, these aspects have not been adequately correlated by social sciences and remain generally absent in the interdisciplinary field of mental health. In this article, we explore the significance of the sertão subregion in the Northeast in Brazilian scientific research concerning the history of mental health from the late 19th century until 1940. This specific time frame was chosen considering the relevant period of the violent epistemologies prevalent during that period and the scarcity of scientific literature on this subject. Three academic repositories from two leading institutions in the field of health were analyzed, the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation and the University of São Paulo, while the method and analysis were inspired by postcolonial perspectives, collaborative and non-extractive methodologies of southern epistemologies, and critical social psychology. As a review study, a thematic matrix was developed with three categories of analysis--postcolonial studies, Northeast and sertão; racialism and mental health; epistemic justice--and ten topics, in addition to a documentary matrix. The results indicated a scarcity of scientific productions on the Northeast and its sertão subregion, which we refer to as an epistemic invisibility, configuring it as an epistemic south. The originality of the study lies precisely in the method used to analyze academic productions on the sertão, shedding light on intersectional and interdisciplinary debates in health. It brings this territory to the forefront beyond the southeastern axis (Rio de Janeiro-São Paulo, the epistemic center of the history of mental health), and thus democratizing the understanding of the construction of Brazilian identity by emphasizing the role of psychiatry and its lasting effects to generate epistemic justice. Finally, impactful and collaborative actions were recommended to promote studies in this field, updating the relevance of the sertão and highlighting the racist and regionalist foundations ingrained in the construction of knowledge.

Where, when, and how was "malinchismo" born? This has been a recurring problem since the noun and its adjective "malinchista" appeared in the country in 1938 to disqualify Mexicans who prefer the foreign over the national. Our objective in this article, supported by Burke's (2006, pp. 35-38) assumptions about the transit of words, is to follow its trajectory through 54 entries in 15 Mexican newspapers, from the 19th century and three decades of the 20th, and obtain a sampling of its semantic variations, its reception, and the ideological and political uses to which it has obeyed. As a "sequel", we refer to the stigma that has marked Malinche, the character on whom she is inspired, as a "titular" traitor of Mexico's history. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Because of the lack of reliable sources we cannot reconstruct the possible beginnings of philosophical thought in the Prehispanic cultures of the Andean area. During the Spanish colonial time the usual philosophical activity had a theoretical foundation which was composed of classical Thomism, natural law according to the Salamanca School and concepts derives from so-called Indian Law. During the Republican age the philosophical efforts have been devoted to discuss such themes like national identity, Bolivia's place in the world order and the own way towards modernity. In these controversies Alcides Arguedas (as a representative of the liberal-rationalist tendency) and Franz Tamayo (the representative of the telurist current) stood early out. This current has proved to be till today very important in Bolivia. Nowadays it is enhanced by nationalist, Marxist and indianist contributions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article focuses on the concept of "petroculture," which highlights the cultural significance of petroleum beyond its economic value, particularly examining its ties to nationalism and national identity in Mexico from 1914 to 1937. Topics include the development of petroculture within the context of Mexican nationalism, the political policies surrounding petroleum, and the establishment and dissolution of the state-owned petroleum company Petromex.

After various setbacks, the latest being the Arab uprisings of 2011, pan-Arabism has made a return starting in the second decade of the 21st century, but in the shape of neo-pan-Arabism. Thus, neo-pan-Arabism would appear to be the legitimate heir of pan-Arabism. Unlike the former, however, it does not appear to be an ideology, but rather a mere tool of Arab regimes to legitimise their control over their populations. Neo-pan-Arabism, then, seems to be a populist rhetoric, with limited action on the ground and aimed primarily at domestic audiences. The cases of Algeria and Tunisia - two countries outside the traditional pan-Arab nucleus -, presented through the actions and words of their respective leaders, illustrate how regimes are using neo-pan-Arabism for their domestic legitimation.

This research analyzes the variation of identity and stereotype represented by the protagonists of these three Ecuadorian films, studying how these films propose an idea of national identity where identification, image and stereotype prevail. A tus espaldas, Ratas, Ratones Rateros y El Pescador is the object of study, so I carry out a film analysis of the scenes that I consider of vital importance to understand the different representations of identity, based on concepts of culture, representation, stereotype, cinema, identification and identity, inferring how these concepts affect the behavior and conduct of the Ecuadorian mountain and coastal mestizo. Within the objective, the theoretical understanding of identity and the interpretation of the proposal of cinema to represent national identity stands out, therefore, definitions and notes on debates on identity are addressed, accompanied by the visual analysis of the selection of scenes., which is considered that identity is at stake, building the theoretical position, and highlighting the representation of identity.

This article is about the associative process that took place in Villa del Cerro in Montevideo, between 1920s and 1950s, a period of boom and crisis of the meat-packing processing industry that was installed in it, trying to make it relevant. It means, the relationships between workspaces and neighborhood, and the influence of both dimensions in the formation ofworker's identity. The reconstruction of this associative process was carried outfrom secondary sources, local press and a large set of texts based on testimonies, observing that the numerous and diverse organizations that were created in the Cerro nurtured the experiences and repertoires of their neighbors and workers, contributing meaningfully to the formation of their identity.

The article focuses on the poem Seudoaraucana by Elvira Hernández (2010; 2017) based on the rewriting as an articulating resource of an off-center and amplified look at the source text, La Araucana de Ercilla y Zúñiga. As a hypothesis, it proposes that the rewriting discusses social phenomena linked to the fissures of the Chilean nation and the political processes of the current situation. As an objective, it tries to establish a dialogue with the tradition and the literary field around the epic, on the one hand, and with critical reconsiderations about the poetic imagination of history, on the other.

This article examines the way in which an elite American woman, Elizabeth Cutter Morrow, developed her idea of what is Mexican when she--as the wife of the US ambassador to Mexico, Dwight W. Morrow--took a keen interest in Mexican art and crafts, and promoted them in her own country. She was a cultured woman who came to appreciate the originality and beauty of Mexican artisanal pieces, antiques, and contributions from the Mexican School of Painting. Her behavior was influenced by prevailing cultural currents, including Mexican nationalism, which reached its peak between 1920 and 1930, as well as the American countercultural wave following World War I, which viewed native cultures of Mexico and the United States as part of its heritage. She held a romantic view that blended Mexican culture with the concept of miscegenation, unifying the Indigenous and the popular. This text is based on the perspective of the actions of elite women, who took a secondary role with respect to their husbands. It also integrates the cultural-diplomacy approach to explain how Elizabeth's appreciation of Mexican art contributed to the rapprochement between both countries and the biographical approach to unravel how her life influenced her view of Mexico.

The present investigation comes closer to the thematic of the free coloured people in the historiography from the works taken place by authors santiagueros in the period of 1962 up to the 2018. Based fundamentally on bibliographical sources to analyze the contributions that have been carried out to the thematic one, this work in a general way it seeks to enlarge the studies of regional and local history and in the particular thing the thematic of the free coloured people.

The book "Romanticism and Nationalism in Spain: The Initial Debate (1805-1820)" by Guillermo Carnero compiles testimonies that explore the introduction of the Romantic movement in Spain. The texts were written by figures such as Antonio Alcalá Galiano, Juan Nicolás Böhl de Faber, Juan Bautista Cavaleri Pazos, José Joaquín de Mora, Francisca Ruiz de Larrea, José Vargas Ponce, and Cristóbal Zulueta. The objective is to show the different perspectives in the controversy over Romanticism in Spain, from defenses of the revolutionary aesthetic to criticisms against it. The book also offers an updated vision of Spanish Romanticism and delves into topics such as interest in the Middle Ages and nationalist sentiment. The article highlights the initial debate on Romanticism and nationalism in Spain between 1805 and 1820, emphasizing the influence of A.W. Schlegel in Spanish literary criticism and his support for ancient Spanish theater, especially Calderón's. It also mentions the evaluation of 17th-century literature and the influence of foreign authors such as Schiller, Goethe, Wordsworth, and Madame de Staël. The importance of this debate for understanding the emergence of Spanish Romanticism is emphasized, and Guillermo Carnero's book is recommended as essential reading for researchers interested in the topic.

This paper analyses the concept of "global civil society" - which played a major role in the symbolic construction of the post-Cold War social reality - and reflects on its initial purpose as a critique of the conventional perceptions of statecentric politics and as a change of approach, towards non-party politics and cross-border activism. While it opened new horizons for the empirical analysis of "globalisation from below", this concept failed to prompt a radical epistemological change; it did not succeed in generating knowledge that transcended "methodological nationalism". The paper maintains that what once constituted the concept's disruptive potential - its conceptual enmeshment with the idea of globalisation, reflected in the adjective global - ultimately tamed it. Drawing on this premise, the aim is to rekindle the spirit of the notion of "global civil society" by introducing a concept that takes up and pushes forward this unachieved goal: "planetary politics".
