Spain is the global leader in organ donation and transplantation since 1992, an achievement that has become a source of national pride, in a country where national symbols are heavily contested. In this article I demonstrate that Spain's organ procurement organization is an active producer of national identity discourses oriented to increasing the legitimacy of the Spanish national project and generating affective adherence to the state institutions. Through a qualitative analysis of 43 press releases, 27 media interviews, 3200 tweets, and 35 YouTube videos, I show that the organization reproduces Spain as a frame of reference, redefines the bonds and boundaries of the national community by linking them to the circulation of organs, and attributes positive moral values to Spain's citizenry. It highlights Spain's internal unity, presenting organ procurement as a national enterprise that binds together different social actors and territories in a common project. It also leverages Spain's success in this area to depict the country as a global exemplar comparable to its neighbors in Western and Northern Europe. My study contributes to a better understanding of contemporary Spanish national identity discourses and raises theoretical questions about the role of alternative sources of national identity in countries with histories of conflict around national narratives and symbols.

自 1992 年以来，西班牙在器官捐献和移植方面处于全球领先地位，在一个国家象征备受争议的国家，这一成就已成为民族自豪感的源泉。在本文中，我证明西班牙的器官采购组织是国家认同话语的积极生产者，旨在提高西班牙国家项目的合法性并产生对国家机构的情感依从性。通过对 43 篇新闻稿、27 篇媒体采访、3200 条推文和 35 个 YouTube 视频的定性分析，我表明该组织复制了西班牙作为参考框架，通过将其与器官，并将积极的道德价值观归于西班牙公民。它突出了西班牙的内部团结，将器官采购展示为一个国家企业，在一个共同的项目中将不同的社会行为者和地区联系在一起。它还利用西班牙在这一领域的成功，将该国描述为可与西欧和北欧邻国相媲美的全球典范。我的研究有助于更好地理解当代西班牙民族认同话语，并提出关于民族认同的替代来源在具有围绕民族叙事和象征的冲突历史的国家中的作用的理论问题。
