Propuestas para (re)construir una naci???n explores how Emilia Pardo Baz???n (1851-1921) imagines and engenders the Spanish nation in her theatrical production staged and/or published between 1898 and 1909. In the aftermath of Spain's colonial losses, when Spain's male authors, in a growing mood of collective introspection, directed their attention to the homeland, Pardo Baz???n generated a series of theatrical proposals to revitalize the nation. In her plays, she manifests her ideas about Spain's fin de si???cle crisis, reflects on Spain's place in the international arena (emphasizing the nation's civilizing mission), critiques the intoxicating power of the so-called golden legend (Spain's glorious past), and sees the origin of the nation's hardship in the lack of education of its inhabitants and in the inequality between men and women. Pardo Baz???n's vision of Spain is forward looking, and she imagines a future in which new social configurations will be possible. Instead of locating her plays in an ancestral Castile, she situates several of her works in her native Galicia. For the author, Spain's regional issues are inseparable from the country's national issues and these can all be traced back to the woman question. The playwright appeals to the spectators/readers' reason and emotions in order to let them think and feel that the problems the nation faces can all be attributed to the Spanish men. For Pardo Baz???n, Spain's potential for national regeneration resides in the inner strength of women. In cross-fire with the main male players in the literary field of her time, Pardo Baz???n offers her critique of national decadence in plays that cleverly subvert a broad range of by then outdated theatrical conventions, and that introduce the public to new currents of theatrical innovation (Ibsen, Maeterlinck, d'Annunzio). Propuestas offers a new perspective on the participation of female authors in the contentious debate about the Spanish nation. Pardo Baz???n's theater is an overlooked area in the author's extensive creative production, and Propuestas challenges the so often repeated topic of the backwardness of the Spanish stage and the alleged lack of innovation during the fin de si???cle. Propuestas para (re)construir una naci???n explora c???mo Emilia Pardo Baz???n (1851-1921) imagina y engendra la naci???n espa???ola en su producci???n teatral finisecular que vio la luz entre 1898 y 1909. A la zaga de la debacle de 1898, cuando la introspecci???n colectiva dirige la mirada de los autores hacia la patria, Pardo Baz???n genera una serie de propuestas teatrales para revitalizar la naci???n. En sus obras, expone sus ideas sobre la crisis finisecular, reflexiona sobre el lugar de Espa???a en la arena internacional (enfatizando su misi???n civilizadora), critica el poder embriagador de lo que llama la leyenda dorada (el glorioso pasado espa???ol) y ve la causa de los males de la patria en la falta de educaci???n de sus habitantes y en la desigualdad entre hombres y mujeres. En vez de enfocarse en el ayer, Pardo se imagina un futuro en el que nuevas configuraciones sociales sean posibles. En lugar de ubicar sus obras en una Castilla ancestral, sit???a varias de sus piezas teatrales en su Galicia natal. Para la autora los problemas regionales son inseparables de los nacionales y los problemas nacionales son inseparables de la cuesti???n de la mujer. La dramaturga apela tanto al raciocinio como a las emociones de sus espectadores/lectores para hacerles pensar y sentir que son los hombres los que constituyen el problema nacional. Para Pardo Baz???n la clave de la regeneraci???n de Espa???a se encuentra en la mujer. En fuego cruzado con los jugadores m???s importantes del
