Download and read online ebook Historical Memory and Criminal Justice in Spain write by Josep Maria Tamarit Sumalla. This book was released on 2013. Historical Memory and Criminal Justice in Spain available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book analyses, above all, the laws, policies and judicial decisions adopted in Spain that were related to the construction of the past and could therefore be understood as measures of transitional justice. By comparing this experience with transitional decisions adopted in other countries, the book highlights the main features of the Spanish case and the lessons that can be learned from it. Measures adopted during the transitional period, such as the amnesty and subsequent decisions aimed at giving some kind of partial reparation to the victims of the repression, are here studied. Demands for reviewing the past, the 2007 Act of Historical Memory, and the controversial use of criminal justice are also considered. Criminal Law is hardly applicable to the facts of the past, but the purely amnesic option can no longer be defended.

Legacies of Violence in Contemporary Spain available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. This book provides a comprehensive, interdisciplinary study of the multiple legacies of Francoist violence in contemporary Spain, with a special focus on the exhumations of mass graves from the Civil War and post-war era. The various contributions frame their study within a broader reflection on the nature, function and legacies of state-sanctioned violence in its many forms. Offering perspectives from fields as varied as history, political science, literary and cultural studies, forensic and cultural anthropology, international human rights law, sociology, and art, this volume explores the multifaceted nature of a society’s reckoning with past violence. It speaks not only to those interested in contemporary Spain and Western Europe, but also to those studying issues of transitional and post-transitional justice in other national and regional contexts.

Download and read online ebook Sites of Violence and Memory in Modern Spain write by Antonio Míguez Macho. This book was released on 2021-10-21. Sites of Violence and Memory in Modern Spain available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. In this sophisticated study, Antonio Míguez Macho and his team of expert scholars explore the connections between violence and memory in modern Spain. Most importantly for a nation with an uncomfortable relationship with its own past, this book reveals how sites of violence also became sites of forgetting. Centred around places of violence such as concentration camps and military courts where prisoners endured horrific forced labour and were sentenced to death, this book looks at how and why the history of these sites were obscured. Issues addressed include: how Guernica came to represent Francoist front-line brutality and so concealed violence behind the lines; the need to preserve drawings made by concentration camp inmates that record a history the regime hoped to silence; the contests over plaques and monuments erected to honour victims; and the ways forging a historical record through human rights cases helps shape a new collective memory. Shining a spotlight on these important topics for the first time, this book provides a new perspective on one of the major issues of 20th-century Spanish history: the history and memory of Francoist violence. As such, Sites of Violence and Memory in Modern Spain is an invaluable resource for all scholars of modern Spain, memory culture, and public history.

Download and read online ebook Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture write by Maureen Tobin Stanley. This book was released on 2022. Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "Professor Tobin Stanley's Francoist Repression and Incarceration in Contemporary Spanish Culture is an essential addition to the field of memory studies in contemporary Spain. Her close readings of literary and filmic texts-both well-known (El lápiz del carpintero, Pa negre, La voz dormida, El lector de Julio Verne)-and lesser-known (the biopic Ángel, Si ha los tres años no he vuelto, the documentary El silencio de otros)-is combined with a solid critical and theoretical approach to provide the reader with profound insights into this crucial topic of justice through memory." -Thomas Deveny, Professor Emeritus, McDaniel College, Maryland, USA 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. Maureen Tobin Stanley is Professor of Hispanic Studies at the University of Minnesota Duluth, USA. She has published two co-edited volumes with Palgrave Macmillan, Exile through a Gendered Lens: Women's Displacement in Recent European History, Literature, and Cinema (2012) and Female Exiles in Twentieth and Twenty-first Century Europe (2007), and two co-edited anthologies, Hybridity in Spanish Culture (2011) and (Re)collecting the Past: Historical Memory in Spanish Literature and Culture (2016).
