ABSTRACT

Higinio Noja Ruiz (Nerva, Huelva, 1894-Valencia, 1972) remains a little-known figure in the history of anarchism and libertarian culture in Spain. However, he enjoyed great prestige during the 1920s and 1930s thanks to his novels, essays, leaflets, and articles, which were widely read by a libertarian and working-class audience. Noja Ruiz was a man of many talents: a social writer and novelist, an anarcho-syndicalist essayist and thinker, a rationalist teacher, and a pedagogue. In addition to this intellectual and cultural activity, Noja’s militant commitment included agitation and tireless propaganda efforts as a libertarian “man of action,” especially in the late 1910s and early 1920s. This article is part of a broader study on the life and work of Noja and it reflects firstly on the Spanish anarchist culture of the first half of the 20^th century; secondly, it deals with the different models of militancy within the libertarian movement in Spain; and thirdly, it assesses how useful the study of biographies can be in those two research fields.

摘要

Higinio Noja Ruiz (Nerva, Huelva, 1894-Valencia, 1972) 在西班牙的无政府主义和自由主义文化史上仍然是一个鲜为人知的人物。然而，他在 1920 年代和 1930 年代享有很高的声望，这要归功于他的小说、散文、传单和文章，这些作品被自由主义者和工人阶级的读者广泛阅读。Noja Ruiz 是一个多才多艺的人：社会作家和小说家，无政府工团主义散文家和思想家，理性主义教师和教育家。除了这种知识和文化活动之外，诺亚的战斗承诺还包括作为自由主义“行动者”的鼓动和不懈的宣传努力，尤其是在 1910 年代末和 1920 年代初。本文是对 Noja 的生活和工作进行更广泛研究的一部分，它首先反映了 20 世纪上半叶的西班牙无政府主义文化^世纪；其次，它涉及西班牙自由主义运动中不同的战斗模式；第三，它评估了传记研究在这两个研究领域中的作用。
