Gendered Wars, Gendered Memories
The Introduction of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives 4.0 license available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/e/9781315584225 The twentieth century has been a century of wars, genocides and violent political conflict; a century of militarization and massive destruction. It has simultaneously been a century of feminist creativity and struggle worldwide, witnessing fundamental changes in the conceptions and everyday practices of gender and sexuality. What are some of the connections between these two seemingly disparate characteristics of the past century? And how do collective memories figure ...
Els internats de la por
«D’allà no me’n vaig emportar res de bo. Només un trauma etern que no me’l treurà ningú, un pòsit negatiu que et queda per sempre.» Una investigació esfereïdora que destapa uns fets ocults i silenciats durant dècades: els abusos sexuals, els maltractaments fÃsics i psÃquics, l’explotació laboral i les prà ctiques mèdiques dubtoses que van patir milers de nens als internats religiosos i de l’Estat durant el franquisme i fins ben entrada la democrà cia. Un exercici de periodisme de primer ordre, que dóna veu a vÃctimes i testimonis i denuncia amb noms i cognoms la suposada superioritat moral al servei de les més baixes passions.

New Journeys in Iberian Studies
The research collected in this volume consists of 18 chapters which explore a number of key areas of investigation in contemporary Iberian studies. As the title suggests, there is a strong emphasis on trans-national and trans-regional approaches to the subject area, reflecting current discourse and scholarship, but the contributions are not limited by these approaches and include an eclectic range of recent work by scholars of history, politics, literature, the visual arts and cultural and social studies, often working in transdisciplinary ways. The geographical scope of the transnational processes considered range from intra-Iberian interconnections to those with the UK, Italy and Morocco, as well as transatlantic influences between the Peninsula and Argentina, Cuba and Brazil. The book opens up some pioneering new directions in research in Iberian studies, as well as variety of fresh approaches to hitherto neglected aspects of more familiar issues.
Transatlantic Studies
This book emerges from, and performs, an ongoing debate about transatlantic approaches in the fields of Iberian, Latin American, African, and Luso-Brazilian studies. In thirty-five short essays, leading scholars reframe the intertwined cultural histories of the transnational spaces encompassed by the former Spanish and Portuguese empires.
Los internados del miedo
"De allà no me llevé nada bueno. Solo un trauma eterno que me quitará nadie, un poso negativo que te queda para siempre." Una investigación aterradora que destapa unos hechos ocultos y silenciados durante décadas: los abusos sexuales, los maltratos fÃsicos y psÃquicos, la explotación laboral y las prácticas médicas dudosas que sufrieron miles de niños en los internados religiosos y del Estado durante el franquismo y hasta bien entrada la democracia. Un ejercicio de periodismo de primer orden que da voz a vÃctimas y testimonios y denuncia con nombres y apellidos la supuesta superioridad moral al servicio de las más bajas pasiones. Montse Armengou y Ricard Belis, con el orgullo de...
La represión en Aspe (1936-1945)
Este trabajo es el resultado de una investigación centrada en el análisis de la represión en la retaguardia republicana durante la Guerra Civil y la posterior represión de posguerra durante la dictadura franquista en la población de Aspe. El hilo conductor han sido los procesos judiciales que se incoaron en relación al linchamiento de la familia Calpena en julio de 1937. Las autoridades republicanas abrieron dos procesos judiciales y, tras la Guerra Civil, la Auditoria Militar puso en marcha un consejo de guerra. Justicia civil y justicia militar en el marco de la Guerra Civil y la posguerra. Son pocos los trabajos sobre la represión que tienen como base los consejos de guerra franquistas, una fuente de información indispensable. En el pueblo de Aspe, se partÃa con los datos de 28 personas represaliadas durante la posguerra y, gracias a la aportación de estos consejos de guerra, hoy se pueden contabilizar 367.
Testimony and Trauma
This book offers a collection of reflective essays on current testimonial production by researchers and practitioners working in multifaceted fields such as art and film performance, public memorialization, scriptotherapy, and fictional and non-fictional testimony. The inter-disciplinary approach to the question of testimony offers a current account of testimony’s diversity in the twenty-first century as well as its relevance within the fields of art, storytelling, trauma, and activism. The range of topics engage with questions of genre and modes of representation, ethical and political concerns of testimony, and the flaws and limitations of testimonial production giving testament to some of the ethical concerns of our present age. Contributors are Alison Atkinson-Phillips, Olga Bezhanova, Melissa Burchard, Mateusz Chaberski, Candace Couse, Tracy Crowe Morey, Marwa Sayed Hanafy, Rachel Joy, Emma Kelly, Timothy Long, Elizabeth Matheson, Antonio Prado del Santo, Christine Ramsay, Cristina Santos and Adriana Spahr.
The Francoist Military Trials
In Spain between 1936-1945, the Franco regime carried out one Europe’s more brutal but less remembered programs of mass repression. Many were murdered by the regime’s death squads, and in some areas Francoists also subjected up to 15% of the population to summary military trials. Here many suffered the death sentence or jail terms up to thirty years. Although historians have recognised the staggering scale of the trials, they have tended to overlook the mass participation that underpinned them. In contrast to the discussion in other European countries, little attention has been paid to the wide scale collusion in the killings and incarcerations in Spain. Exploring mass complicity in the ...
The Angle of Horror
From Cristina Fernández Cubas, Spain's award-winning master of the short story, comes a collection of unsettling, thought-provoking, and often hilarious stories, The Angle of Horror. A socially awkward twenty-something who transforms from Jekyll to Hyde by playing the tuba; a miserly curmudgeon whose ultimate act of generosity as well as his final breath are snuffed out by a seemingly innocent grandson; a young collegian who suffers a nightmare of shadows and slants, then discovers his waking world is also horribly askew; a lonely Spaniard living abroad who seeks familiarity in a Spanish specialty shop but only finds true belonging while obsessively stalking the proprietor. These are but a few of the "angles" that Fernández Cubas constructs in these four twisted tales: "Helicon," "Grandfather’s Legacy," "The Angle of Horror," and "The Flower of Spain." Presented in critical edition and translation for the first time, these acclaimed Spanish tales are featured alongside their English translation, with historical contextualization and critical commentary by scholars Jessica A. Folkart and Michelle Geoffrion-Vinci.
