El estudio y la difusión de la historia natural en Barcelona en la década 1814-1823 (2021)

unapi

El periodo histórico comprendido entre el final de la Guerra de la Independencia y el del Trienio Liberal, con la restauración del absolutismo fernandino, fue transcendental para la ciudad de Barcelona, tanto desde el punto de vista político y social como del cultural y científico. Además del regreso a la actividad de las instituciones académicas y sociales que habían permanecido cerradas durante la guerra con Francia, también se fundaron nuevas sociedades culturales, como la Sociedad Filosófica, y se restableció, aunque por poco tiempo, la Universidad en Barcelona. Estas instituciones emprendieron con entusiasmo un programa liberal de enseñanza y difusión de la ciencia, acompañado del surgimiento de nuevas publicaciones con este mismo objetivo. El contexto político permitió que, a las ideas ilustradas del siglo anterior, se contrapusieran nuevas formas de entender la historia natural concordantes con lo que estaba sucediendo en el resto de Europa. Muchas de estas iniciativas fueron aniquiladas en 1823, pero ello no resta importancia a todo lo que se había producido la década anterior en Barcelona, ya que resultará clave para entender el futuro desarrollo de la actividad científica en la Cataluña del siglo XIX. [English translation by DeepL.com: The historical period between the end of the War of Independence and the Liberal Triennium, with the restoration of Ferdinand's absolutism, was transcendental for the city of Barcelona, both from a political and social point of view as well as from a cultural and scientific point of view. In addition to the return to activity of the academic and social institutions that had remained closed during the war with France, new cultural societies were also founded, such as the Philosophical Society, and the University was reestablished, albeit for a short time, in Barcelona. These institutions enthusiastically undertook a liberal program of teaching and dissemination of science, accompanied by the emergence of new publications with the same objective. The political context allowed new ways of understanding natural history, in accordance with what was happening in the rest of Europe, to be counterposed to the Enlightenment ideas of the previous century. Many of these initiatives were annihilated in 1823, but this does not detract from the importance of all that had taken place the previous decade in Barcelona, as it will be key to understanding the future development of scientific activity in Catalonia in the nineteenth century.]
