Revista de Catalunya
The Revista de Catalunya is a monthly publication, edited and founded in Barcelona (1924) in the midst of Primo de Rivera’s dictatorship. The historian and politician Antoni Rovira i Virgili promoted a magazine of essays (history, literature, thought, linguistics, international world) in which he brought together the best intellectuals of the time, from Riba and Pla to Ferràn Soldevila, as well as some young talents. It had a great impact and a large number of subscribers.
The Ferrater Mora Chair, in collaboration with the Revista de Catalunya and the Memorial Democràtic, and with the collaboration of the Institut d’Estudis Catalans, is organized a Trias Symposium on the centenary of the Revista de Catalunya, specifically on aspects related to the thought - understood in a broad sense - has expressed or oozed in the pages of the journal throughout its 100-year history. We were interested in discussing about the articles that have been published and the authors who have written, both in the early stages of the journal after its foundation in 1924, and in the more recent stage of the “resumption” from the 1980s onwards. In a way, the eventful vicissitudes and vicissitudes of the Revista de Catalunya are also the eventful vicissitudes and vicissitudes of Catalan “high culture”.
