Abstract
ESPINOSA FERNANDEZ DE CORDOVA, Carlos Ramiro and CANAL, Jordi. The Transnational Memory of Gabriel García Moreno: The Catholic Leader’s Posthumous Image in Ecuador, France and Rome. hist.crit. [online]. 2020, n.75, pp.3-23. ISSN 0121-1617. https://doi.org/10.7440/histcrit75.2020.01.
Objective/Context:
This article intends to show how and for what political purposes a transnational memory of the Ecuadorian Catholic leader Gabriel García Moreno was drawn up through dialogues between Ecuadorian and Catholic conservatives in France and the Vatican.
Originality:
It explores the construction of a transnational memory of García Moreno and his model of a Catholic Republic, and how this memory reinforced sub-national, national and transnational identities, instead of understanding memory as an exclusively national phenomenon.
Methodology:
French and Ecuadorian sources are compared, using analytical categories from current memory studies.
Conclusions:
The article reveals that a transnational memory of García Moreno and his political model took shape through the dialogue between various actors, in turn reinforcing multiple identities at different scales.
