The narrative analysis of the discourses of national identity is contained within two sections. The first deals with Spanish press coverage of the 1994 USA Football World Cup. The second section studies the process of negotiation towards a political pact between Partido Popular and Converge?ncia I Unio? after the 1996 general election. This study is not confined to the identification and description of discursive elements intended to shape identities, but deals heavily with the symbolic struggle between different ideological agents. The narrative approach and systematic application to two particular and very concrete cases makes this work unique in its field. This book would be useful as a reference text for courses not only on Contemporary Spain, but also on the wider field of Cultural Studies and Media Studies. However, the issues dealt with and the style in which it is written, make it of interest to a wider and not necessarily academic audience. 606 $aNational characteristics, Spanish 606 $aNational characteristics, Catalan 606 $aNationalism$zSpain 606 $aNationalism$zSpain$zCatalonia 607 $aCatalonia (Spain)$xCivilization 615 0$aNational characteristics, Spanish. 615 0$aNational characteristics, Catalan. 615 0$aNationalism 615 0$aNationalism 676 $a946.083 700 $aSoli?s$b Fernando Leo?n$01498978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780470003321 996 $aNegotiating Spain and Catalonia$93724777 997 $aUNINA
