| Sumario: | ABSTRACT. Paris converts its World Fairs (on 1855, 1867, 1878, on 1889, 1900) in the front window of the industrial progress, the commercial advances, the scientific discoveries and the artistic avant-gardes. The vanity of nations illuminated the new bourgeois and industrial society stemming from revolutions of the middle of the century. The exhibitions became propaganda instruments of new values. Their visit reveals an imaginary history and geography. The different pavilions of the Fair justify the colonial world, ranked into a hierarchy according to the prestige of every national representation. While participating in the distribution of the technical, scientific and artistic novelties, the national speeches asserted by contrastappropriate identity. The collection of the national stereotypes supplied a cultural show that tried hard not to transform Spain into a country-museum within industrial Europe, until detached house of the Republic introduces the avant-gardist architecture within the international Exhibition of 1937. |
