Abstract
Civil pro-independence associations are playing an increasingly significant role in Catalonia’s independence movement, putting pressure on the Catalan government to work decisively towards independence. This has led many Catalans to characterize the movement as a "bottom-up" phenomenon. This contribution analyses the shifting power dynamics within mainstream Catalan nationalism over the last decade, challenging simplistic notions of "top-down" and "bottom-up" pressures for change. In fact, the movement is now inherently multidimensional – partly thanks to the pivotal role of the cultural elites and their grasp of the power of new media – and this in itself accounts in large part for its success.
