Popis: Roca-Rosell studies the role of science and technology in the nationalist debate in substate nationalism in Catalonia after the Spanish Civil War. The development of scientific and technological activity in the period before the Spanish Civil War was dramatically interrupted as a result of the war when an important part of the scientific community identified with the Second Republic and went into exile against the new regime. Those who remained in Spain had to comply with the strict political regulations imposed on university professors and members of scientific institutions. Scientific activity in Catalonia was significantly impaired. The alliance between science, technology, and the Catalan identity prior to Franco’s regime was broken, and it was not replaced by another kind of alliance.
