Abstract Details

2013, Master of Arts (MA), Bowling Green State University, Spanish.
The Spanish Civil War took place between 1936 and 1939 and exhibited the nations division in terms of class, religion, politics and ideology. Throughout the post-war years of repression and Francoist dictatorship, many people elected to forget about the war or were censured in their attempts to express their memories and stories. A half century later, in response to this forgetting, society has responded through various means: conversations, debates and cultural representations. This study examines a collection of six novels and five films from the post-Franco era that illustrate diverse experiences of the war and the post-war repression. They are analyzed based on the different perspectives taken to recount a specific history as well as the socio-historical moment in which they were produced, as a representation of the society. The novels and films portray the complexity of the war and the ensuing difficulty of investigating its victims. Long before any discussion of Spains 2007 Law of Historical Memory had begun, these authors and directors reveal the challenging but necessary process of recuperating historical memory.
