La recomposición religiosa en la modernidad: un marco conceptual para comprender el enfrentamiento entre laicidad y confesionalidad en la España contemporánea

Abstract

This article proposes a theoretical reflection on the conflict between clerical and anticlerical forces and pays main attention to the Restoration period. For that reason, it examines in a critical way the many revisions in which the paradigm of secularization has been left to scholars for the last two decades. Also, it tries to establish an innovative framework of analysis for a new application of conceptual tools such as religious recomposition, normative conflict and cultural war in case studies. In short, this is the first approach to a needed historiographical debate on the role of religion in contemporary Spain.
