Imperial emotions : cultural responses to myths of empire in fin-de-siècle Spain / Cultural responses to myths of empire in fin-de-siècle Spain Javier Krauel. - x, 206 pages ; 25 cm. - Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone cultures ; [10] . - Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone cultures ; 10. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 184-199) and index.
Introduction : emotions, empire, and the tradition of the national essay -- Imperial myths and the national imagination -- An incomplete work of imperial mourning : Miguel de Unamuno's En torno al casticismo -- Fin-de-siècle imperial melancholia : Ángel Ganivet's Idearium español -- The anatomy of imperial indignation : Ramiro de Maeztu's Hasia otra España -- The politics of imperial pride and shame : Enric Prat de la Riba's La nacionalitat catalana -- Conclusion : toward an ethics of imperial emotions.
This work reconsiders debates about historical memory from the perspective of the theory of emotions. Its main claim is that the demise of the Spanish empire in 1898 spurred a number of contradictory emotional responses, ranging from mourning and melancholia to indignation, pride, and shame. It shows how intellectuals sought to reimagine a post-Empire Spain by drawing on myth and employing a predominantly emotional register.
