La prisión y las instituciones punitivas en la investigación histórica
La Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas está necesitada en España de encuentro y debate, de confrontación y colaboración entre investigadores e investigadoras. Solo así logrará hacerse visible e inteligible como tendencia historiográfica y sobre todo como apuesta teórico-metodológica, porque de hecho ya es más que creíble como práctica historiográfica. Aquí, en este libro, junto a los logros también se perfilan las carencias y los retos más acuciantes. Lejos de buscar una autonomía extemporánea, la Historia Social de las Instituciones Punitivas quiere buscar su propia viabilidad a base de intersecciones y buenas mezclas. Esos objetivos se planteaba el Grupo de Est...
Concentration Camps: A Very Short Introduction
Concentration camps are a relatively new invention, a recurring feature of twentieth century warfare, and one that is important to the modern global consciousness and identity. Although the most famous concentration camps are those under the Nazis, the use of concentration camps originated several decades before the Third Reich, in the Philippines and in the Boer War, and they have been used again in numerous locations, not least during the genocides in Bosnia and Rwanda. Over the course of the twentieth century they have become defining symbols of humankind's lowest point and basest acts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dan Stone gives a global history of concentration camps, and shows tha...
The Palgrave Handbook of Anti-Communist Persecutions
This handbook explores anti-communism as an overarching phenomenon of twentieth-century global history, showing how anti-communist policies and practices transformed societies around the world. It advances research on anti-communism by looking beyond ideologies and propaganda to uncover how these ideas were put into practice. Case studies examine the role of states and non-state actors in anti-communist persecutions, and cover a range of topics, including social crises, capitalist accumulation and dispossession, political clientelism and warfare. Through its comparative perspective, the handbook reveals striking similarities between different cases from various world regions and highlights t...
The Memorialization of Genocide
Divided societies, tormented pasts, and unrepentant perpetrators. Why are some countries more intent on vanquishing uncomfortable pasts than others? How do public and often unsightly attempts at memorialisation both fail the victims and valorize their oppressors? This book offers fresh and original perspectives on dictatorship, fascism and victimization from the bloodiest decades in Europe’s, Australia’s and Central America’s colonial and modern history. Chapters include analyses of Francoist memorials in Spain, assessments of the El Mozote massacre in El Salvador, the forgetting of frontier colonial violence in Tasmania, Romania’s treatment of its Roma populations in the midst of Ho...
The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War
In 25 innovative thematic essays, The Bloomsbury Handbook of the Spanish Civil War sees an interdisciplinary team of scholars examine a conflict that, more than 80 years after its conclusion, continues to generate both scholarly and public controversy. Split into four main sections covering Military and Diplomatic Issues, Society and Culture, Politics, and Debates, the volume offers a number of unique features. It is unprecedented in its comprehensiveness and includes chapters on topics that are rarely, if ever, explored in the literature of the field: humanitarianism, children and families, material conditions, the decimation of elites, archives and sources, archaeological approaches, digit...
Concentration Camps
Concentration camps are a relatively new invention, a recurring feature of twentieth century warfare, and one that is important to the modern global consciousness and identity. Although the most famous concentration camps are those under the Nazis, the use of concentration camps originated several decades before the Third Reich, in the Philippines and in the Boer War, and they have been used again in numerous locations, not least during the genocide in Bosnia. They have become defining symbols of humankind's lowest point and basest acts. In this book, Dan Stone gives a global history of concentration camps, and shows that it is not only "mad dictators " who have set up camps, but instead all...
El treball esclau durant el Franquisme
Un aspecte poc conegut de la repressió franquista al País Valencià fou el sistema penitenciari i el treball forçat. Es fa necessari aprofundir en l’estudi de l’origen i significació dels camps de concentració que van establir els militars franquistes durant la Guerra Civil i en la immediata postguerra, esbrinant els mètodes que van emprar i els objectius polítics i militars que perseguien. En aquest marc teòric s’insereix el present estudi sobre l’impacte del treball forçat a la Vall d’Albaida, que aborda el procés d’institucionalització dels «espais punitius» que va organitzar el franquisme per controlar, aprofitar i «reeducar» l’enorme massa de presoners de guerra que arribaren a capturar durant el conflicte. Es tracta, , d’una contribució historiogràfica amb una important dimensió cívica: rescatar de l’oblit les víctimes d’aquesta forma de violència política.
Mass Killings and Violence in Spain, 1936-1952
Historians have only recently established the scale of the violence carried out by the supporters of General Franco during and after the Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939. An estimated 88,000 unidentified victims of Francoist violence remain to be exhumed from mass graves and given a dignified burial, and for decades, the history of these victims has also been buried. This volume brings together a range of Spanish and British specialists who offer an original and challenging overview of this violence. Contributors not only examine the mass killings and incarcerations, but also carefully consider how the repression carried out in the government zone during the Civil War - long misrepresented in Francoist accounts - seeped into everyday life. A final section explores ways of facing Spain’s recent violent past.
De los controles disciplinarios a los controles securitarios
En este libro se interrelacionan, como un único continuum de estudio y de explicación sociohistórica, el devenir y la actualidad de los dispositivos de control policial, judicial y carcelario, incluyéndolo dentro de un campo semántico mucho más amplio e informal que lógicamente abre otras líneas de investigación de gran interés para entender las funciones y las derivaciones del control y el castigo, al menos en cuatro sentidos: 1º) El análisis de la construcción cultural de los discursos sobre la “seguridad” en relación con los procesos de criminalización y penalización de sujetos sociales. 2º) El peso en la dinámica social de nociones como “cultura punitiva” o “c...
Sulle tracce di un'ombra
Dopo la fine della guerra civile spagnola, si scatenò una furiosa repressione politica. Come spesso accade in queste circostanze, c'erano persone giuste che pagavano per essere peccatori, quando in realtà non lo erano mai stati. Questo è il caso di Enrique che, nonostante non abbia sparato un solo colpo perché stava salvando delle vite in ospedale, si è trovato nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato. Alla fine della guerra civile spagnola, il governo della ”Nuova Spagna” di Franco lanciò un complesso e machiavellico sistema di repressione, diretto contro tutti i prigionieri repubblicani che avevano perso la guerra. Da quel momento, le centinaia di migliaia di prigionieri (repubbl...
