Santa María de Cervelló (o Socors): estratigrafía de una santa barcelonesa del Barroco

Compartir
The hagiographic construction is the stratigraphy of a dynamic memory, in continuous transformation. In other words, the hagiographic construction allows analyzing the continuous semantic changes that take place in the memory and the cult of the saints. The present work deals with the "manufacture" of Santa María Socors by different historical actors - religious order, nobility, royal power and, finally, municipal government - who appropriated their figure and memory and supervised their worship, which is why a constant semantic updating of the cult of the saint as a consequence of the superposition of the different discourses. In particular, our attention focuses on the construction in modern times of the civic cult of Santa María Socors by the Barcelona authorities. The management and municipal control of the body of the saint, in the framework of civic religion, allows the elaboration of a patriotic rhetoric around the figure of the saint so that it becomes a symbol of community and territorial cohesion ​
