Alonso, G (2016) Corporations, subjects, and citizens: the peculiar modernity of early Hispanic liberalism. Journal of Iberian and Latin American Studies, 22 (1). pp. 7-22. ISSN 1470-1847
Abstract
The varying degrees of political novelty and continuity brought about by the arrival of Hispanic constitutionalism are assessed in this article. It sheds light on the adaptations and the role played by pre-existing discourses and rituals in the articulation of the self-proclaimed “liberal” institutions, both in the Iberian Peninsula and in the new independent Latin American territories. The tensions between individualistic and collectivistic representations of political power are at the centre of the analysis. The text thus seeks to make an original contribution to current debates in historiography regarding the emergence of a liberal subjectivity in the early nineteenth century and its limits.
