Catalanisme i construcció simbòlica. Qüestions generals i un cas particular: el noucentisme targarí (1898-1936)

This article considers three objectives. On the one hand, it takes an initial look at the main referential themes recreated by the main expressions of Catalanism in the years between the XIXth and XXth century, and selects the basic factors of their social, reproductive and evolutionary origins. In order to study this objective in more detail, he begins to examine the most basic factors that take place in the building and the legitimisation of the region or nation on behalf of Catalanism. So, on the one hand, he analyses the conception of a community in terms of Catalanism, and how this changes into diverse expressions of Catalanism depending on the same evolution of the movement, while on the other hand, he evaluates the basic role of the cultural/civilization models and of the regional and national feeling or awareness in the construction and legitimisation of the region or nation from the perspective of Catalanism. The second objective is to carry out a short approximation on the nature of symbols from the XIXth century. And the third is to introduce a specific local universe of XIXth century imaginarium: the one that decorated the Catalan bourgeoisy of Tàrrega from the last years of the XIXth century until the Civil war in the XXth century.
