Abstract
La Reconquista usualmente se percibe como un período histórico muy extenso marcado por la expansión de los reinos cristianos a lo largo de la península ibérica. Sin embargo, mediante este trabajo se propone un análisis crítico de la resignificación de la idea de hispanidad en relación con el mito de la Reconquista. La perspectiva de este trabajo parte de la idea de la Reconquista no como un simple hecho histórico, sino como un artefacto discursivo e ideológico construido desde la frontera entre identidad y alteridad. Esta narrativa sigue operando hoy en día, configurando la identidad española frente a la alteridad musulmana y con discursos renovados que buscan la exclusión. Aunque estas dinámicas alcanzasen un punto álgido durante el franquismo, en la actualidad continúan resonando por parte de la ultraderecha. Parece necesario plantear un enfoque crítico que nos permita entender la Reconquista como un mito constantemente resignificado y que posibilite reinterpretar la identidad española en términos plurales e inclusivos.
The Reconquista is usually perceived as an extensive historical period characterized by the expansion of Christian kingdoms throughout the Iberian Peninsula. However, this study proposes a critical analysis of how the concept of hispanidad has been re-signified through the myth of the Reconquista. The perspective adopted here considers the Reconquista not merely as a historical fact, but as a discursive and ideological artifact constructed along the border between identity and alterity. This narrative continues to function today, shaping Spanish identity in opposition to Muslim alterity, through renewed discourses aimed at exclusion. Although these dynamics reached their peak during Francoism, they continue to resonate today in the discourse of the far-right. Thus, it appears necessary to adopt a critical approach that allows us to understand the Reconquista as a continuously re-signified myth and enables us to reinterpret Spanish identity in pluralistic and inclusive terms.
