HISTORY, NATIONAL IDENTITY AND POLITICAL CIVIC CHARACTER IN COMPLEX SOCIETIES: The case of Spanish and Latin American societies

description National identity and political civic character constitute, on an ideographic level, two sides of the same coin. In other words, they are expressions of how citizens feel they belong and participate in the Nation. The Nation is a basically political concept whose explanation is also somewhat complex. For many, it is a reification of a type of society; that is, it constitutes a merely ideological plane superimposed on the "real society", so that its origin is a consequence of the changes that were introduced with the advent of the modern State. From the epistemological point of view, national identity suffers from the same difficulties of definition as the Nation. Like it, it suffers in all aspects that make up the same vicissitudes as the Nation-State. Each social science approaches these concepts differently, but all of them indicate that it is extremely complex to take into account all the variables that make up these two entities. Some of the research is proposed ideographically and others try to introduce nomethetic approaches. In any case, we can think that the definitions necessarily represent what has been called conceptual "constructs". In this book we have constituted a sample of diverse approaches and problems on the national identity and the civic political character, trying to expose how these entities are perceived in the light of current conditions and from different points of view. In them, it is specified that both the Nation-State and the national identity are historical products and that, therefore, they are changing and, in the best of cases, they have a beginning and an end, as shown by the advent of the processes of globalization. The format that each author has determined has been respected, aware that each social science has its own way of analyzing, evaluating and reporting their research topics. We hope that this will provoke a greater interest in the readers to know how to observe, in these tasks, the Ibero-American experience.

La identidad nacional y el carácter cívico político constituyen, en un plano ideográfico, las dos caras de una misma moneda. Es decir, son expresiones de la manera como los ciudadanos sienten pertenecer y participar en la Nación. La Nación es un concepto básicamente político cuya explicación es también un tanto compleja. Para muchos, es una reificación de un tipo de sociedad; es decir, constituye un plano meramente ideológico superpuesto a la "sociedad real", por lo que su origen es una consecuencia de los cambios que se introdujeron con el advenimiento del Estado moderno. Desde el plano epistemológico, la identidad nacional adolece de las mismas dificultades de definición que la Nación. Al igual que ésta, sufre en todos los aspectos que la conforman de las mismas vicisitudes que el Estado-Nación. Cada ciencia social aborda de manera diferente estos conceptos, pero todas ellas indican que es sumamente complejo tomar en cuenta todas las variables que componen estas dos entidades. Algunas de las investigaciones se plantean de manera ideográfica y otras intentan introducir aproximaciones nometéticas. De cualquier manera, podemos pensar que las definiciones necesariamente representan lo que se ha dado en llamar "constructos" conceptuales. En este libro hemos constituido una muestra de diversas aprocimaciones y problemas sobre la identidad nacional y el carácter cívico político, tratando de exponer cómo se perciben estas entidades a la luz de las condiciones actuales y a partir de diversos puntos de vista. En ellos se concreta que tanto el Estado-Nación como la identidad nacioal son productos históricos y que, por lo tanto, son cambiantes y, en el mejor de los casos, tienen un principio y un fin, como lo muestra el advenimiento de los procesos actuales de la mundialización. Se ha respetado el formato que cada autor ha determinado, concientes de que cada ciencia social tiene su propia forma de analizar, evaluar y reportar sus temáticas de investigación. Esperamos que esto provoque en los lectores un interés mayor por conocer cómo se oberva, en estos menesteres, la experiencia iberoamericana.
