Propuestas para (re)construir una nación exploreshow Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921) imagines and engenders the Spanish nation inher theatrical production staged and/or published between 1898 and 1909. In theaftermath of Spain’s colonial losses, when Spain’s male authors, in a growingmood of collective introspection, directed their attention to the homeland,Pardo Bazán generated a series of theatrical proposals to revitalize thenation. In her plays, she manifests her ideas about Spain’s fin de sièclecrisis, reflects on Spain’s place in the international arena (emphasizing thenation’s civilizing mission), critiques the intoxicating power of the so-calledgolden legend (Spain’s glorious past), and sees the origin of the nation’shardship in the lack of education of its inhabitants and in the inequalitybetween men and women. Pardo Bazán’s vision of Spain is forward looking,and she imagines a future in which new social configurations will be possible.Instead of locating her plays in an ancestral Castile, she situates several ofher works in her native Galicia. For the author, Spain’s regional issues areinseparable from the country’s national issues and these can all be traced backto the woman question. The playwright appeals to the spectators/readers’ reasonand emotions in order to let them think and feel that the problems the nationfaces can all be attributed to the Spanish men. For Pardo Bazán, Spain’s potentialfor national regeneration resides in the inner strength of women. In cross-fire with the main male players in theliterary field of her time, Pardo Bazán offers her critique of nationaldecadence in plays that cleverly subvert a broad range of by then outdatedtheatrical conventions, and that introduce the public to new currents oftheatrical innovation (Ibsen, Maeterlinck, d’Annunzio). Propuestas offers a new perspective on the participation offemale authors in the contentious debate about the Spanish nation. PardoBazán’s theater is an overlooked area in the author’s extensive creativeproduction, and Propuestas challenges the so often repeated topic of thebackwardness of the Spanish stage and the alleged lack of innovation during thefin de siècle. Propuestas para(re)construir una nación exploracómo Emilia Pardo Bazán (1851-1921)imagina y engendra la nación española en su producción teatral finisecular quevio la luz entre 1898 y 1909. A la zaga de la debacle de 1898, cuando laintrospección colectiva dirige la mirada de los autores hacia la patria, PardoBazán genera una serie de propuestas teatrales para revitalizar la nación. Ensus obras, expone sus ideas sobre la crisis finisecular, reflexiona sobre ellugar de España en la arena internacional (enfatizando su misión civilizadora),critica el poder embriagador de lo que llama la leyenda dorada (el gloriosopasado español) y ve la causa de los males de la patria en la falta deeducación de sus habitantes y en la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres.Envez de enfocarse en el ayer, Pardo se imagina un futuro en el que nuevasconfiguraciones sociales sean posibles. En lugar de ubicar sus obras en unaCastilla ancestral, sitúa varias de sus piezas teatrales en su Galicia natal.Para la autora los problemas regionales son inseparables de los nacionales ylos problemas nacionales son inseparables de la cuestión de la mujer. La dramaturgaapela tanto al raciocinio como a las emociones de sus espectadores/lectorespara hacerles pensar y sentir que son los hombres los que constituyen elproblema nacional. Para Pardo Bazán la clave de la regeneración de España seencuentra en la mujer.En fuego cruzado con losjugadores más importantes del campo de producción cultural de su tiempo, PardoBazán ofrece su crítica de la decadencia nacional en unas obras que reciclanuna serie heterogénea de materiales por aque
