Gegants Fantasmes

The supplied sources do not record a mythological origin story. The phrase appears in two overlapping registers: as a label applied (per Wikidata) to processional giants from Ververa — situating it within the longstanding Catalan practice of gegants in festivals — and as a rhetorical compound used in contemporary Catalan-language cultural and political writing to describe large institutional or technological actors and the re-emergence of old fears ('fantasmes'). No folkloric cosmogony or origin narrative is documented in the provided materials.

As a concrete referent the term points to processional giants consistent with Catalan gegants — large humanoid festival figures carried in procession — though no detailed visual description is provided in the sources. In its metaphorical use the phrase has no physical appearance; 'fantasmes' functions as a figurative state (e.g., 'fantasmes en potencia') rather than a described visual form.

No supernatural abilities are attributed in the provided materials. As processional objects they function in ceremonial display. In metaphorical use 'gegants' denotes powerful institutional or technological actors that reshape hegemony, and 'fantasmes' denotes recurring social anxieties or unresolved issues that can 'resurge' during moments of political or technological change. The sources provide sociopolitical behaviors (shifts in hegemony, support by governments, resurfacing fears) rather than magical powers.
