Resumen

Al comienzo de la Guerra Civil española, el partido gobernante de Irlanda se enfrentó al desafío de mantener la hegemonía política. Revelando las antiguas líneas divisorias de la Guerra Civil irlandesa, la oposición calificó la política de no intervención del gobierno como pro-comunista y anticatólica; una negativa a apoyar a los insurgentes españoles en lo que la mayoría percibía como su defensa de la fe católica. Siguiendo a McNally, este artículo utiliza la teoría de la hegemonía de Gramsci para explorar el equilibrio político en los contextos de los conflictos irlandés y español. La noción de “intelectual orgánico” permite una lectura Gramsciana de la fotografía de guerra, encontrando un lenguaje visual común en las obras de Robert Capa y W.D. Hogan, ya que ambos contribuyeron a proyectos de hegemonía nacionales y transnacionales. A través de dicha lectura, la autora encuentra compatibilidad cultural entre los conflictos y proyecta el período revolucionario irlandés bajo una nueva luz internacional.
