Abstract
The Traditional Laws (the so called Fueros) are at the center of the system of symbols of Navarre. This centrality is not the consequence of a metaphysical property but the result of a cultural and political process that by its own nature is open. According to some theoretical and methodological categories introduced by Victor Turner, used in several fields of research of the social sciences, this contribution analyze the grand symbolic narratives of the Traditional Laws in Navarre that fueled the own contemporary procesess of social and political mobilization of the community, from the statutory crisis of the late 19th century to the consecration of the direction which deals to the democracy in Navarre at the end of the xxth. The analysis of the main established contexts allows to consider the important role of the already mentioned system of symbols, which not only promoted the political discourse on the Traditional Laws in Navarre, but transformed as well, making them stronger, the own statutory institutions in Navarre, and last but not least the own myth of the 'Fueros'.
