El franquismo y los imaginarios míticos del fascismo europeo de entreguerras
This article raises a series of reflections centered on the biggest or minor grade of fascistization experienced by the Francoist regime during the first stage of its implantation. Also, it carries a trip out for the phenomena of spread and contamination with which the mythical imaginaries, and the idealized recreations of the fascism, impregnated the different authoritarian and anti-parliamentary regimes that were erected in Europe during the interwar period. In the Spain of the thirties, a mixed reactionary coalition experienced a sort of self-fascination about the efficacy of the fascist proposals to face to the challenges of mass-mobilizaThis content downloaded from 40.77.167.71 on Sat, 19 Nov 2016 04:34:46 UTC All use subject to http://about.jstor.org/terms Francisco Cobo Romero El franquismo y los imaginarios miticos del fascismo tion and democracy.

The fight against the ‘anti-nation’ as a historical mission: the delegitimization of the enemy in Italian Fascism and Spanish Fascism
For the Italian Partito Nazionale Fascista (Pnf) and the Falange Española (Fe), the political community coincided with the nation, conceived not as an undifferentiated conglomeration of citizens but as a community of believers in a ‘religion of the Fatherland’. The common goal of the Italian and the Spanish fascists, since their appearance on the political scene of their respective countries, was the defence of national values. But the claim to being the only and exclusive representatives of those values denied any effective freedom of dissent, even to those who respected national values but intended them in a different way. This article will analyse how the ideologues of the Pnf and the Fe articulated their respective campaigns against the anti-national enemies in order to legitimise their own parties and pave the way to the effective realization of their own nations: nations that had to be clearly and totally fascist.
