Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture
This book examines the cultural articulation of Spanish History (and histories (remembered, meaningful experiences). It analyzes how real people and fictional characters experience the rupture of post-war repression, as their vindicating collective memory counters the authoritarian narrative and laws that demonized and criminalized them. The book, that breaks the persistent cycle of denial of Francoist malfeasance, is a resource for scholars and students who research the representation of Spain’s dictatorship, its aftermath and the recovery of postdictatorial memory.

Els sindicats de funcionaris de la Generalitat de Catalunya, 1931-1939
Les planes que ocupen aquest estudi analitzen els projectes de sindicació i associació corporativa dels funcionaris de la Generalitat de Catalunya durant els anys 1931-1939. Tanmateix, no se'ls analitza com a subjectes passius a remolc dels esdeveniments polítics, sinó com a elements actius de la política catalana dels anys trenta.

Això implicà un enorme protagonisme del funcionariat en tots els processos de canvi i de transformació política, social, econòmica i cultu...
Collapsed empires
The Russian Revolution of 1917, born of the collapses of the War, exerted its influence all along the globe and for a long time. In Europe and the Mediterranean world, the effects of World War I were overwhelming. Taking as point of departure the year of the Russian revolutions, this book focus on the consequences of the imperial and state collapses after 1917 in spatial and chronological dialogue, researching the changing of institutions that created narratives and representations of national memories, exploring the nationalist movements that shaped the new countries and describing the communist activists that helped to transform the old world within the framework of a tragedy of terrible dimensions. José M. Faraldo is Associate Professor in the Department of Modern and Contemporary History of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid.

Memory and Cultural History of the Spanish Civil War
The authors in this anthology explore how we are to rethink political and social narratives of the Spanish Civil War at the turn of the twenty-first century. The questions addressed here are based on a solid intellectual conviction of all the contributors to resist facile arguments both on the Right and the Left, concerning the historical and collective memory of the Spanish Civil War and the dictatorship in the milieu of post-transition to democracy. Central to a true democratic historical narrative is the commitment to listening to the other experiences and the willingness to rethink our present(s) in light of our past(s). The volume is divided in six parts: I. Institutional Realms of Memo...
