Abstract

At the outset of the Spanish Civil War, Ireland’s ruling party were faced with the challenge of maintaining political hegemony. Revealing the old fault lines of the Irish Civil War, the opposition cast the government’s Non-intervention policy as pro-Communist and anti-Catholic; a refusal to support Spanish insurgents in what was perceived by the majority as their defence of the Catholic faith. Following McNally, this paper utilises Gramsci’s theory of hegemony to explore political equilibrium in the contexts of the Irish and Spanish conflicts. The notion of the “organic intellectual” enables a Gramscian reading of war photography, finding common visual language in the works of Robert Capa and W.D. Hogan as they contributed to national and transnational projects of hegemony. Through such a reading, the author finds cultural compatibility between the conflicts and casts the Irish revolutionary period in new international light.

“和平宣传”:葛兰西对爱尔兰和西班牙内战摄影的解读
西班牙内战开始时,爱尔兰执政党面临着维持政治霸权的挑战。反对派揭露了爱尔兰内战的旧断层线,将政府的不干预政策定性为亲共和反天主教;拒绝支持被大多数人视为捍卫天主教信仰的西班牙叛乱分子。继麦克纳利之后,本文运用葛兰西的霸权理论来探讨爱尔兰和西班牙冲突背景下的政治平衡。“有机知识分子”的概念使Gramscian能够阅读战争摄影,在Robert Capa和W.D.Hogan的作品中找到共同的视觉语言,因为他们为国家和跨国霸权项目做出了贡献。通过这样的阅读,作者发现了冲突之间的文化兼容性,并将爱尔兰革命时期置于新的国际视野中。
