Abstract
En este artículo analizamos cómo los imaginarios sobre lo «sefardí» fueron moldeados por las respectivas leyes de nacionalidad por origen sefardí de España y Portugal aprobadas en 2015. A partir de un análisis de la presencia y las búsquedas de palabras asociadas con lo «sefardí» en Google Ngram y Google Trends, así como de noticias y artículos sobre estos temas en la base de datos Factiva, observamos la emergencia de varios imaginarios que rompen con la visión más tradicional etnocéntrica sobre los judíos sefardíes. Más que una comunidad imaginada con una conciencia pública más o menos homogénea, nuestro estudio revela formas disjuntas de concebir lo «sefardí», incluyendo categorías poco convencionales como la «nacionalidad sefardí» y más problemáticas como los «sefardíes sospechosos» de no serlo, todas ellas bajo la influencia por intereses individuales, políticos, económicos y culturales.
In this paper we analyze how the imaginaries about the «Sephardi issue» were shaped by the respective laws of nationality based on Sephardic origin in Spain and Portugal approved in 2015. Based on an analysis of the presence and searches for words associated with «Sephardi» in Google Ngram and Google Trends, as well as news and articles on these topics in the Factiva database, we observe the emergence of several imaginaries that break with the more traditional ethnocentric vision of Sephardi Jews. More than an imagined community with a more or less homogeneous public consciousness, our study reveals disjoint ways of conceiving the «Sephardi», including unconventional categories such as «Sephardic nationality» and more problematic ones such as «suspicious Sephardi» of not being Sephardi, all of which are influenced by individual, political, economic and cultural interests.
