In the quarter of a century framed by Spain's 1898 loss of its last overseas colonial possessions and the 1923 coup initiating the Primo de Rivera dictatorship, Spanish cities were sites of intense struggle over political identity. On city streets, republicans, socialists, and anarchosyndicalists competed for support, with different outcomes across cities. This project ia a comparative study of the construction of working-class political identity in Barcelona, Valencia, and Alicante that seeks to explain why cities within the same national context had very different patterns of working-class political affiliation during this era, and specifically why the radical anarchosyndicalist movement was much more successful in some cities than in others. The dissertation challenges existing theories concerning the determinants of political identity, developing a new theoretical approach which emphasizes the importance of forms of urban political practice in the construction of political citizenship, and by extension in the construction and consolidation of national states. Hypotheses will be tested through historical-comparative analysis of the development of forms of political action in these three cities throughout the 25-year period. The primary data source will be periodicals, located in specialized archives in each locality and at the International Institute of Social History, Amsterdam; additional evidence will be obtained from local administrative archives. This project's broader impacts include: The dissertation contributes to theoretical development in the area of identity-formation by drawing upon a neglected empirical case to produce an original theoretical framework with broader implications for understanding both historical processes and contemporary phenomena, including the relationship of radical movements to urban protest in the Middle East and Latin America, and, more broadly, the legitimization of the state versus alternative political forms. The public presentation of evidence in the form of a photographic exhibit, documenting the political participation of women and other underrepresented groups, will contribute to the broader dissemination of sociological research and theory.

在1898年西班牙失去其最后一个海外殖民地和1923年政变开始普里莫·德·里维拉独裁统治的四分之一个世纪中，西班牙城市是政治身份激烈斗争的场所。在城市街道上，共和党人、社会主义者和无政府工团主义者竞相争取支持，结果各城市不尽相同。这个项目是对巴塞罗那、瓦伦西亚和阿利坎特工人阶级政治身份建构的比较研究，旨在解释为什么在同一个国家背景下的城市在这个时代有着非常不同的工人阶级政治归属模式，特别是为什么激进的无政府工团主义运动在一些城市比在其他城市更成功。本论文对现有的关于政治认同决定因素的理论提出了挑战，发展了一种新的理论方法，强调城市政治实践形式在政治公民身份建构中的重要性，并由此延伸到民族国家的建构和巩固中。将通过对这三个城市在整个25年期间政治行动形式发展的历史比较分析来检验假设。主要数据来源将是期刊，存放在每个地方的专门档案馆和阿姆斯特丹国际社会史研究所;其他证据将从地方行政档案馆获得。该项目的广泛影响包括：本论文有助于理论发展，在该地区的身份形成，利用一个被忽视的经验案例，产生一个原始的理论框架，更广泛的影响，了解历史进程和当代现象，包括激进运动的关系，在中东和拉丁美洲的城市抗议，而且，更广泛地说，国家的合法化与替代政治形式。以摄影展览的形式公开展示证据，记录妇女和其他代表性不足的群体的政治参与情况，将有助于更广泛地传播社会学研究和理论。
