Using Franco?s Spain and la España sagrada as a counterpoint to European secularity?s own development, By the Grace of God is the first sustained analysis within Spanish cultural studies of the sacred as a political category and a tool for political organization.William Viestenz shows how imagining national identity as a sacred absolute within a pluralistic, multicultural state leads to dictatorship, scapegoating, and exceptional violence. Using novels and poetry from the Catalan literary tradition and stalwarts of the Castilian canon, his analysis demonstrates that the sacred is a concept that spills over into key areas of secular political imagination.By the Grace of God offers an original theory of the sacred that challenges our understanding of twentieth-century political thought. 410 0$aToronto Iberic ;$v14. 606 $aSpanish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReligion and politics$zSpain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aReligion and literature$zSpain$xHistory$y20th century 607 $aSpain$xPolitics and government$y1939-1975 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSpanish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and literature$xHistory 676 $a860.9/382 700 $aViestenz$b William$0941943 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460019703321 996 $aBy the grace of God$92125345 997 $aUNINA
