Abstract

The awareness of the unity of the territory and the desire to rediscover the Judeo-Christian culture of the Iberian Peninsula to ensure its protection and sustainability led the Catholic Monarchs in the 15th century to continue the work of “Reconquest” of the territories under Muslim domination since the invasion of 711. Later, in the 21st century, the notion of “Reconquest” also appears in the politician Éric Zemmour in France. From his political formation of the same name, he intends to bring together the French and those nostalgic for “old France” around traditional ideas to “save France from loss” and restore “its greatness”. This leads to studying “the notion of “Reconquest” according to the Catholic Kings of Spain and Éric Zemmour in France”. The objective of this analysis is to show that the concept of “Reconquest” used during these different periods was not used in the same ideological context. In short, this tends to show that Éric Zemmour is trying to make an outdated concept survive today because he thinks he finds a purely political interest in it. Through the analytical and comparative method, it will first be a question here of studying the notion of “Reconquest” in the 15th and 21st centuries and showing the similarities and differences of this word through these periods.
