Sartre interpreted from catalan culture

Abstract

In this paper, we are going to review the presence of Sartre's philosophy in contemporary Catalan culture. In fact, in the same way that the French philosopher paid special attention to the prohibition of Catalan language as a philosophical and cultural language, by the fascist and dictatorial regime of General Franco, Catalan authors managed to make their ideas penetrate in Catalan culture (and in Catalan language) through philosophy, music and theatre. Sartre's postulates were a shock to Spanish intellectual and cultural context that lacked of freedom.
