TY - JOUR TI - Cultura simbólica y fiestas borbónicas en Nueva Granada: De las exequias de Luis I (1724) a la proclamación de Fernando VII (1808) JO - CS;No. 9 - Enero/Junio 2012 PB - Universidad Icesi PY - 2012 issn 20110324 AB - This article centers on an interpretation of two examples of Bourbon Royal festivities in the Kingdom of New Granada: the funeral of Louis I in Santa Fe de Bogotá in 1724 and the proclamation of Fernando VII in San Bartolomé de Honda in 1808, focusing especially on an analysis of the sources and of the emblematic culture. In order to adequately understand its meaning, three factors must be taken into account; first, the important tradition of symbolic culture in New Granada; second, the special relevance that funerals and proclamation ceremonies had in the construction of the monarchy’s image in the modern age; and finally, the complex historical and political context within which both celebrations took place.
