Neglecting the 19th century

Abstract: The present article examines the historical narrative proposed by modernization theory about the recent Spanish past. Its assumptions and consequences for historical research focused on the 19th century are described in order to understand the lack of intellectual exchange among historians and sociologists in the Spanish academic world. Modernization theory has justified the political consensus that allowed the Spanish transition to democracy and its academic authority has narrowed the scope of historical rese… Show more

“…Mientras los católicos conservadores y tradicionalistas concebían el catolicismo como doctrina de fe, los fascistas lo interpretaban como una estructura de orden asociada a la nación, en donde lo que más interesaba eran los valores de familia, jerarquía, disciplina, autoridad y dogmatismo y cómo canalizaban el mensaje de transformación totalitaria 29 .
