Fernando González against the conservative national pro- ject. Notes for a critic lecture of his work

Abstract

In this essay, I propose a understanding reading of Fernando González’s work, framed in the context of the conservative national project, that was declared in the Constitution of 1886 and executed during the historical period known as “La Regeneración”. In this regard, I show the elements with wich the author build a nation project that contradicts the above—mentioned in its key points: The grammatism through everyday language and logic, the conservative confessional state through an individualistic mystic religiosity, the attachment to hispanism through a mixed race ideal and to colonial capitalism by means of a “comunist” notion of property.
