Les mouvements migratoires dont a fait l’objet l’Espagne, que ce soit lors des phases d’exil ou d’émigration ou lors de l’immigration de ressortissants étrangers, ont participé à la transformation de la société espagnole. Ce processus migratoire à double sens a impliqué autant le retour des Espagnols étant partis dans les années postérieures à la guerre d’Espagne que l’accueil dans la société espagnole d’immigrés venus de tous horizons. Plus récemment, les gouvernements, au niveau étatique ou autonomique, ont élaboré des stratégies de prise en compte de ces Espagnols « à l’extérieur », en intégrant dans leurs discours politiques une dimension mondiale. Cette rencontre internationale entre chercheurs de différentes disciplines a pour objet d’ouvrir la réflexion sur l’influence des diverses expériences migratoires dans le processus de construction ou de reconstruction nationale de l’Etat autonomique. L’objectif est de mener une réflexion autour de la question fondamentale de la contribution des émigrés et des exilés espagnols ainsi que des immigrés au processus de construction des identités nationales en Espagne. Ce questionnement sera mené depuis l’analyse des processus de création et d’incorporation de nouveaux référents dans le champ du politique et du symbolique afin de mieux comprendre le phénomène de construction identitaire. Cette démarche ouvre des perspectives nouvelles dans la compréhension et l’articulation de deux problématiques majeures de la société espagnole contemporaine: celle des migrations et celle des identités au sein de l’Espagne.

Naciones negras y cultura

Con motivo de la celebración del Día de África, Casa Árabe, Casa África, el Grupo de Embajadores Africanos acreditados en España, y Edicions Bellaterra organizan, el jueves 24 de mayo en Madrid, la presentación de la obra clásica Naciones negras y cultura, del pensador y político senegalés Cheikh Anta Diop
La presentación correrá a cargo de Cheikh Mbacké Diop, profesor universitario e hijo del autor, Abas Ndiour, embajador de Senegal en España y decano del Grupo de Embajadores Africanos acreditados en España, Santiago Martínez-Caro, director general de Casa África, y Eduardo López Busquets, director general de Casa Árabe.

El acto tendrá lugar a las 19:30 horas en el Auditorio de Casa Árabe en Madrid (c/ Alcalá, 62), y la entrada es libre hasta que se complete el aforo.

África está en presente en los inicios de lo que se ha llamado civilización. Éste es el mensaje que recorre la obra de Cheikh Anta Diop. En el momento de su publicación, en 1954, dicho mensaje resonó como un descomunal exabrupto en algunas de las tribunas de la Academia: egipcios negros; paternidad negroafricana del «milagro griego» y de sus logros; Einstein o La Marsellesa expresados hasta el menor de sus matices en lenguas africanas… El escándalo fue amplificado, y se convirtió en mayúsculo, en el ambiente de emancipación anticolonial de la época. La ideas de Diop incendiarían los círculos intelectuales africanos, primero los francófonos y, luego, sobretodo, los afroamericanos.

Cheikh Anta Diop (Senegal, 1923 – 1986).

Historiador, antropólogo, lingüista, físico nuclear y político panafricanista senegalés. Desde los años cincuenta sostuvo la tesis de que la cultura egipcia faraónica estuvo estrechamente ligada al África negra. Fue uno de los historiadores africanos más destacados, contribuyendo como pocos en la necesidad de una revisión de la historia del continente que la libere de sus enfoques coloniales.

Cheikh Mbacké Diop 

Es físico y escritor,  profesor en el Instituto Nacional de Ciencias y Técnicas Nucleares en Saclay (París). Cofundador y colaborador de la revista ANKH, Revista de Egiptología y Civilizaciones Africanas. Es el autor de una biografía sobre su padre Cheikh Anta Diop, el hombre y la obra (Présence Africaine, 2003).

The international dimension of Southern European Dictatorships: Spain, Portugal and Greece in the Cold War system, 1968-1975

 

The international dimension of Southern European Dictatorships: Spain, Portugal and Greece in the Cold War system, 1968-1975







Workshop
19 June 2012

LSE IDEAS, Cold War Studies Programme
 
SUMMARY
Less than half a century ago, three Southern European countries still lived under right-wing dictatorial rule. Spain, Portugal and Greece were the last European countries outside the Soviet orbit to emerge from the shadows of dictatorships and join the democratic nexus of Western Europe. Although their dictatorial regimes varied considerably in terms of implementation, duration, nature and practice, they did nonetheless share a number of common characteristics. These included sharp social divisions and relative economic underdevelopment, as well as the contemporaneousness of their demise and a democratisation process within a relatively short amount of time.
While a burgeoning corpus of scholarly literature devoted mainly to various domestic facets of those regimes has emerged over the years – focusing especially on their establishment, collapse and subsequent transition to democracy – the ramifications of the international environment in which those dictatorships functioned have not been adequately explored, certainly not within a comparative context. Ironically, this lacuna may mask the regimes’ vulnerability to international circumstances and the influence of broader Cold War trends.
Internationally, the critical period of the late 1960s and early 1970s was marked by a widespread pursuit of new approaches to old conflicts. The two superpowers USA and Soviet Union sought to bring relief to decades of escalating tension through détente – an array of negotiations and treaties recognising each other’s ‘interests’. Initiatives such as the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT), the Mutual and Balanced Force Reductions talks (MBFR) and the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe (CSCE) raised hopes for a more peaceful future. In turn, the collapse of the Bretton Woods monetary system in 1971 and the oil price shock of 1973 ushered the end of almost thirty years of Western European economic prosperity. Simultaneously, the rise of mass media facilitated an outburst of protest movements against local and global manifestations of capitalism, imperialism and colonialism.
The aim of this workshop is to examine whether and to what extent the three southern European right-wing dictatorships were exposed to these strong international currents, including political, economic and cultural effects emanating from powerful actors, most notably within the Western sphere of influence. The workshop will also look beyond traditional governmental agents into the resistance movements and social protest in order to broaden our understanding of the dynamics of this period. The discussion will thus address the existing scholarly dearth by exploring the linkages between international factors and domestic developments, taking advantage of the increasing availability of archival sources from within and outside the region.
