Evolución histórica de los ateneos en Catalunya (1836-1936)

Abstract

The purpose of this is to offer a panoramic synthesis of the origins and evolution of the athenaeums in Catalonia from original statistical references resulting from an exhaustive list of atheneist associations. The commentary of the grouped data serves to establish as a final result a characterization of the athenaeums denotative of a way articulated around a political-cultural conception. For this we start from the chronological sphere determining in this aspect -1836-1936-analyzed in three great stages: constituent (1836-1886); consolidative (1887-1900) and expansive (1901-1936).
