Summary: The thesis reconstructs policy lingüstica developed during the first quarter of the twentieth century by the Lliga Regionalist, the main political party of Catalonia of the time. Taking as a starting point the project on the promotion of Catalan made by the Catalan nineteenth century, the regionalists proposed two main objectives in the field lingüstico: consolidation of grammatical Catalan and access to the areas that language official. The first goal was commissioned the Institut d'Estudis Catalans, created by the County Council in Barcelona in 1907. From this body regionalists prompted the drafting of the rules of Catalan writing, which were adopted in 1913 and gradually accepted by the vast majority of intellectuals, publications, publishers and corporations, both public and private, both in Catalonia and in the other territories of the Catalan language . As regards the official use of Catalan, the study examines the degree of catalanización of key governance institutions controlled by the regionalist: the Council of Barcelona, the Barcelona City Council and the Commonwealth of Catalonia. In this regard, which was shown the presence of Catalan in administrative documents, government publications, technical and vocational education and popular libraries.

Here are presents the Galicia Region within that environment domain of elites and local notables (chapter 2) and then was passed to deal with the figure of jurisconsult galician Montero Rivers since its inception as a law student at the University of Santiago and doctoral at the Universidad Central de Madrid (Chapter 3) and hatching in the world by the central government in Madrid during the Sexenio (Chapter 4), becoming the political Right from the very significant legislation for the time after passage through the Portfolio of Grace and Justice: Civil Registration Act, Civil Marriage Act or the Criminal Code, among other initiatives.

The "political platform" monterista developed in the city and the district of Santiago is presented from the study of local politics between 1877 and 1905 (chapter 7) and the government of the University (Chapter 8), extending its dense network both clientelar among the representatives of the chancellor's chair as the representation of the Senate incumbent in influence among the "great electors," notable of the city that had power, the elite "bourgeois" and cultured in the city. Relying on a strong addition nepotism, was supported by all its sons and sons-in-law, in addition to that of "political friends", which made the city its "feud caciquil" until 1914, the year of his death. This "protection" to Compostela led to the promotion of civil works relevant to the times and who came to assume a further "monumentalización" of the city and an economic recovery in the same after a nineteenth century ostracism and stagnation.

Summary: The thesis examines the parallel development of a social crisis (the question yuntera) and the State's response (agrarian reform) for tackling such a situation. The province of Caceres proved to be a typical case of "immense plunder" which meant the desamortización, with a massive privatization of communal property that resulted in the imbalance of some peasant communities quite articulated so far. Nacía a question yuntera, which was used by this group capitalism Spanish to modernize the agricultural production structure of their holdings reference in the region: rangelands. The irredentism agricultural jumps to the political scene, since a century of arbitrary actions of the holders of power was doomed to groups such as the yunteros almost ruin. But this is not the only cause, because the situation of international crisis since 1929 will affect a halt in agricultural activities of the range for the livestock and forestry, leading to mass unemployment among old and new yunteros. It specifically examines the relative success of the agricultural policy through the Republican via the decrees (over 100,000 hectares and 25,000 settlers) and the depth of the achievements in the field of communities of farmers (25 in pronvincia on 42,000 hectares with almost 2000 settled). The final outcome is well known: the acceleration of Agrarian Reform acts as independent variable in the development of the fabric of civilian coup of July 18. After a very harsh repression, continues with the activity of the peasant communities in the area and the return of national farm becomes a much longer and more complex than the owners had hoped.

Incursiona in the universe of exiles from the Argentine military dictatorship, redeeming the experience of their players, recovering his memories, evaluating the geographical location of the community exílica and impact of the political process and social Catalan, but without forgetting that this drama has not happened only in Catalonia, but has been developed in behavior between here (Spain) and one outside (Argentina) weight material and symbolic undisputed. Initially, the investigation arose as broad objectives: 1-See the story from a national scope, analyzing the ways in which expelled and fled to Argentina in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries gave meaning to the experience of political movement. 2-Deepening political and human dimension of a community of the latest political exile, in particular the community of Catalonia caused by the impact of the violence of State Terrorist Argentine 1976. 3-Evaluate how the physical marginalization of these subjects expelled from the country has been registering (or not) in the collective memory, from the contemporary beat of'76 so far and thanks to the momentum of the exiles themselves, by the intervention other actors (military power, the Argentine exile internal political forces in a democracy, the press, intellectuals, and so on.), and taking into account the array of symbolic available to the persecuted of'76 to put into words his own story. Many have described exile as suspension or expulsion of an individual or group in its history. The political process recognizes Argentine exiles from the early days of their separation from Spain. In the decade from 1970, in the context of systematic repression and silencing of political opposition and social, the last dicatadura military produced thousands of exiles, forcing these men and women to "live without history" (Anguita, 2001: 58 ). In this context, the research assumes that the banishment of'76 and as the case Catalan allows elucidate, that suspension of this story has a correlative in expulsion from memory, which has failed to reconnect fully until today and beyond the specificities of the different scenarios of struggle, the history of these subjects in the nation's history and has maintained its status as "floating" (Ramos, 1994:56). In short, this research attempts to analyze the "laboratory" of the Argentine exile in Catalonia relationships between history and memory, between the experience of the actors and logical social and cultural rights; between the time course of the struggles symbolic place this banishment in modern history in the nation's history, the representations that developed between the players of the diaspora of'76 in an attempt to defenirse / legitimized in different periods of political struggle / symbolic tradition and exiled, namely the set of representations about exile others exiled historical and powers of the day occurred in various conjunctures of political exclusion in Argentina from 1810 to 1976.
