Description
The legacy of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and its implications have
stipulated a major point of contention in contemporary Spanish society. While the
historical accuracies of the war had been silenced during General Francisco Franco’s
dictatorship (1939-75), the exhumation of mass graves in recent years has revived a
general interest in rescuing the historical memory of those who lost the war. Accordingly,
in 2007, the Historical Memory Law (“Ley de la memoria histórica”) was passed.
However, while there are many Spaniards who strongly support the recovering of the
historical memory of this tragic period in Spain, there are others who find it unnecessary
to reopen old wounds. This historical episode of the Spanish Civil War remains a
stringent controversy in today’s Spanish society. Through observing both historical and
present-day rationales, this research project analyzes how the contending political
ideologies in Spain today (“las dos Españas”) are rooted in its past conflict.
