Course title: Special lecture for KUPES: A Cultural History of Catalan Nationalism
If we have learned anything after more than thirty years of globalization, it is that the ongoing
globalization processes are characterized by paradoxical dynamics in which cultural identities aredestabilized as much as they are reinforced. Globalization studies have attempted to explain thisphenomenon through diﬀerent theoretical schemes such as the tension between homogenization andheterogenization, integration and diﬀerentiation, connection and disconnection, and concepts such as
glocalization, hybridization, creolization, global mélange, and global ecumene, to name just a few. Theinteractions described by these concepts have shaped an expanding world where cultural and nationalboundaries are simultaneously strengthened and weakened just as the collective identities that used todeﬁne. In this context, the issue of minority nations has come back to the fore to show its diﬃcult
accommodation in a world still constituted by formal nation states. The Catalan nationalism and its
vibrant independence movement constitute an important case for studying the social and politicaldynamics involved in this process. To this end, this introductory course will examine the diﬀerent
theories of ethnicity and nationalism, and it will analyze the cultural development of Catalan nationalism
and its main political manifestations throughout history. The ﬁnal exam will be based on the lectures
and the readings, in the form of an oral examination.
