Abstract

Democratic republicanism, which alternatively opted for insurrection and for parliamentary representation, came to be a clear political option in 19th Century Southern Europe. It attracted wide popular support and was able to present itself as an alternative to the ruling liberal elites.
New Studies on 19th Century Spanish, Portuguese and Italian republicanism are favouring a cultural approach, paying special attention to languages and discourses through which the plural political cultures of the republican movements can be analysed. It must be outlined, however, that cultural history should not privilege the analysis of national-patriotic discourse over the study of the revolutionary movements’ political context and of social mobilization practices. An approach from comparative history is also useful to reassess the importance of municipal and regional spaces, which became ‘laboratories’ of democratization and politization.
