ABSTRACT

SUMMARY: The Sacred Heart of Jesus was the protagonist of a devotion that became very popular in Spain during the second half of the 1800s and the former decades of the 20^th century. In the Iberian Peninsula the heart of Christ became a symbol of an identity discourse that combined a fundamentalist conception of religion, a definition of the Spanish nation as intrinsically Catholic, and counter-revolutionary ideas. The aim of this article is to analyse why, during the years between 1899 and 1939, the Sacred Heart became a reference with a growing presence in the public space. Secondly, it explores why this presence caused a fierce dispute between those who considered that the Spanish Volksgeist was inherently Catholic, and those who believed otherwise. The existence of a war for the occupation and demarcation of public space stimulated the reproduction of the heart of Christ in scapulars, plaques or monuments, but also explains that the political groups who defended the secularization of society and a Spanish nationalism opposed to National-Catholic approaches reacted with anger to the spread of the Sacred Heart in the public space.

摘要

^{摘要：耶稣的圣心是 1800 年代后半期和 20世纪}前几十年在西班牙非常流行的奉献精神的主角。在伊比利亚半岛，基督的心成为一种身份话语的象征，这种话语结合了原教旨主义的宗教观念、西班牙民族本质上是天主教的定义和反革命思想。本文的目的是分析为什么在 1899 年至 1939 年期间，圣心成为公共空间中越来越多的参考。其次，它探讨了为什么这种存在引起了那些认为西班牙人民精神的人之间的激烈争论。本质上是天主教徒，而那些不相信的人。为占领和划定公共空间而进行的战争刺激了基督圣心在肩胛骨、牌匾或纪念碑中的再现，但也说明了捍卫社会世俗化和反对民族天主教的西班牙民族主义的政治团体方法对圣心在公共空间的传播感到愤怒。
