Abstract

The Spanish nation‐state is gradually being rescaled by Catalonia's “secession crisis.” Recently and dramatically, in the aftermath of the “illegal” and “constitutive referendum” that took place on 1 October 2017, 2,286,217 Catalan citizens attempted to exercise the “right to decide” to ultimately become “stateless citizens.” This paper examines this rescaling process that has been forming in Barcelona since 10 July 2010 when 1 million Catalan citizens marched to claim their “right to decide” on secession. This paper concludes that, at present, it is not feasible for the Spanish nation‐state to accommodate Catalonia's “stateless citizenship.” El estado‐nación español se está reestructurando gradualmente por la “crisis de secesión” de Cataluña. Recientemente y de forma dramática, tras el “referéndum ilegal y constitutivo” que tuvo lugar el 1 de octubre de 2017, 2 286 217 ciudadanos catalanes intentaron ejercer el “derecho a decidir” para convertirse finalmente en “ciudadanos apátridas”. Este artículo examina este proceso de reestructuración que se está llevando a cabo en Barcelona desde el 10 de julio de 2010, cuando un millón de ciudadanos catalanes se unieron en una marcha para reclamar su “derecho a decidir” sobre la secesión. Este artículo concluye que, en la actualidad, no es factible para la nación española dar cabida a la “ciudadanía apátrida” de Cataluña. スペインの国民国家 (nation‐state)は、カタルーニャ州の「分離独立危機 (secession crisis)」によってその規模が徐々に変わりつつある。2017年10月1日に「違法に」行われた「国民投票 (constitutive referendum)」の結果、最近では劇的なことに、カタルーニャ州の2,286,217人の市民は、最終的に「無国籍民」になることを「決定する権利」を行使することを企てた。本稿では、2010年の7月10日に100万人のカタルーニャの市民が分離独立を求めて行進を行った時以来、バルセロナで始まった国民国家の規模の変化の過程を検討する。スペインの国民国家がカタルーニャ州の「無国籍市民権」を受け入れることは、現在のところは実行できない、ということが本稿の結論である。
