Gustavo Bueno and Francoist post-nostalgia in studies on the growth of the far right

Abstract

The present critical note aims to draw the attention about the absence of specific studies dealing with the influence of the Gustavo Bueno on the current discourses of far right, especially on the growth of the historiographic populisms that some of his disciples or writers authors close to his thesis (as it is the case of Elvira Roca Barea and her works). Besides, the study also points to the utility of intellectual sociology regarding the analysis that can articulate the professional/intellectual careers that are responsible for such editorial phenomenon with their positions (as inheriting or as candidate) both at the cultural and political aspects, starting by the figure of Bueno himself.
