Desde su fundación en octubre de 1933, Falange Española tomó como referencias a los principales movimientos fascistas de la Europa del momento: la Italia fascista y la Alemania nazi. Durante la guerra civil, la Iglesia católica (tanto sus jerarquías en España como el propio Vaticano) pasó a observar de cerca la evolución del fascismo español, conve...

Spanish fascists held power for a lengthy period, yet their antisemitism remains underresearched. This article, drawing on periodicals and archival documentation, specifically examines the early years of the Falange until 1945. The period was characterised by a significant surge in antisemitic sentiment in Spain, accompanied by a growing presence o...

This paper is intended to be a contribution to the emerging field of comparative studies on Brazilian and Spanish fascisms by, at the same time, expanding it through gender studies. It also involves the first comparative analysis between Integralist women and Falangist women, and even among the Brazilian fascist women and those of any country durin...

The rise to power of National Socialism in early 1933 made Germany become the second fascist regime and seemingly confirm fascism’s universal character. In this text, Morant examines Nazism as the German exponent of the fascist political culture by focusing both on the most characteristic elements of its world view (anti-Semitism, the myth of the V...

Street names are no neutral, let alone ‘natural’ designations for any given location. They are the superposition of different eras, social orders and ideologies. Since the late 1990s, in Spain, a new generation looks with criticism at the time of the Franco dictatorship and at the ensuing restoration of democracy during the Transición. It opened an...

This book provides a comparative study of fascisms and reactionary nationalisms. It presents these as transnational political cultures and examines the dictatorships and regimes in which these cultures played significant roles. The book is organised into three main sections, focusing on nationalists, fascists and dictatorships in turn. The chapters...

Spanish fascist women played a very active role in the Falange’s cross-border relations with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy during the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. From the very beginning, fascist women took a preeminent place in these contacts and exchanges in order to see with their own eyes how both fascist models were at a practi...

Between 1936 and 1945, the female leaders of Spanish fascism and German Nazism maintained fluid contacts. Born out of an ideological affinity and the awareness of sharing the same political culture, they took the form of numerous study visits and collaboration in a joint project with fascist youth organisations to outline the future of « New Europe...

Founded by seven young women in Madrid in 1934, the Sección Femenina of the Spanish fascist party Falange had become five years later the country’s only female mass state organization with approximately 600.000 members. After the military coup at the outbreak of the Civil War the Women’s Section adopted as organisational models the party’s pre-war...

La movilidad intraeuropea de estudiantes ha captado la atención de las ciencias sociales sólo de forma relativamente reciente. Ello puede ser atribuido principalmente al aumento del número de participantes en el programa Erasmus, iniciado en 1987, uno de cuyos principales objetivos es el fomento de una identidad europea. No obstante, la idea de que...

La tesis estudia las relaciones entre la Sección Femenina de Falange y las organizaciones femeninas nazis (juvenil y adulta: Bund Deutscher Mädel y NS-Frauenschaft) entre 1936 y 1945. En su proceso de conversión en una organización de masas del "Nuevo Estado" tras el estallido de la guerra civil española, la rama femenina del partido fascista españ...

El presente texto analiza los contactos entre la Sección Femenina y las organizaciones femeninas de la Alemania nazi durante la guerra civil española y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Para ello, tras una breve introducción teórica e historiográfica se presenta la cronología, la finalidad y el contenido de las visitas, así como sus protagonistas. A conti...

The text at hand analyzes the contacts between the Women’s Section of the Spanish Falange and Nazi Germany’s Young and Adult Female Organizations during the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War. A short theoretical and historiographical introduction will be followed by a depiction of the chronology, aim, content and protagonists of the organi...

Eine Europakarte, welche aber durch keinerlei staatliche Grenzen definiert ist. Ein säulenähnlicher Stamm, der genau in ihrer Mitte geradlinig wächst, dessen Wurzeln aber sich quer durch den europäischen Kontinent erstrecken. Eine Baumkrone schließlich, welche zwischen ihren Blättern eine kugelförmige, soeben gekeimte Frucht hält, die gerade das zu...

The study of the construction of gender must take into account its historicity. Starting from this theoretical base this text analyzes falangist discourse on femininity through its first twelve years and three different political periods: Republic, civil war and Franco's dictatorship. Therefore central attention is paid to the lived effects of the...
