Pràctiques socialistes i nació a les Illes Balears (1931-1936)

Abstract

This article analyses the role of the socialist political culture in the social construction of Spanish national identity. The Balearic Islands and the Second Republic are the geographical and chronological frames, while the socialist’ press is the main source of information. The study focuses on the sociability acts gathered and valued in that press. The hypothesis sustained is that the socialism was an active agent in the socialization of the idea of Spain through the different ritual, recreational and political acts and practices that it carried out.
