CENTINELAS DE LA PATRIA. REGIONALISMO VASCO Y NACIONALIZACIÓN ESPAÑOLA EN EL SIGLO XIX. (Spanish)

SENTINELS OF THE MOTHERLAND. BASQUE REGIONALISM AND SPANISH NATIONALIZATION IN THE 19TH CENTURY. (English)

PAIS Vasco (Spain); SPAIN

This article studies Spanish patriotism and the Spanish nationidea in the Basque Fuerism discourse, hegemonic in the Provincias Vascongadas during the 19th century. Its objective is to analyze the meaning of this discourse and to discuss whether this political regionalism --the first to appear in Spain-- was an informal mechanism of Spanish nationalization, and, simultaneously, played a role as a cultural substratum, by which Basque nationalism would be nourished.

Este artículo estudia las expresiones de patriotismo español y la idea de nación española presentes en el discurso del fuerismo vasco, hegemónico en las Provincias Vascongadas durante el siglo XIX. Su objetivo es analizar su significado y reflexionar sobre el papel que este discurso, expresión de un temprano regionalismo político, el primero en madurar en España, pudo desempeñar como mecanismo informal de nacionalización española, y a la vez constituir un sustrato cultural del que se nutriría el nacionalismo vasco finisecular.
