Las fiestas cívicas del Trienio Progresista (1840-1843): progresistas enfrentados y desafío a la Regencia

Abstract

The civic festivals of the Progressive Triennium (1840-1843) show how radical progressivism constructed not only a political alternative differentiated from party progressive and the popular progressive, but also articulated a subversive and vindicating culture in which different social groups converged and political alternatives. Radical progressive faced progressive and the  moderate parties formed by notables, proposing a model based on the political centrality of the local space and a democratically reformist social proposal. The civic ceremonies demonstrate the political and social extension of that alternative which managed to project itself into the government of the city of Barcelona and propose a distinct national discourse. Citizens participated and appropriated cultural practices and symbols that shaped a progressivism identity differentiated from other progressivisms.
