España invertebrada

The concept of "Invertebrate Spain" originates from the essay of the same name written by José Ortega y Gasset in 1921. In this text, Ortega y Gasset analyzes the crisis of identity and cohesion that Spain was experiencing during those years. The author argues that the country lacked a solid social and political structure, which hindered its development and modernization. This lecture, given by academic Juan Pablo Fusi, explores Ortega y Gasset's ideas and their relevance in the historical context of the 1920s. This lecture is part of the "Spain in the 1920s" series organized by the Mutua Madrileña Foundation in conjunction with the Royal Spanish Academy of History.
