The Memory of the Catalans - The Historical Construction of Identity

By Borja de Riquer, Emeritus Professor of Contemporary History at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and editor of the book

How did we become who we are? Communities, nations, are not eternal and immutable. In the 21st century, at a time of great social, cultural and ideological transformations, it is worth explaining what the cohesive elements of our collective identity are and how they have been constructed over time, in other words, the references that make up the national memory of Catalonia. Directed by Borja de Riquer, The Memory of the Catalans selects and explains more than a hundred elements that have become fundamental points of reference for a large part of contemporary society.
