The contribution of contemporary cultural representations of Republican women in the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship to the recuperation of historical memory
Cliona Hensey
This research project examines the recent ‘memory boom’ in Spain regarding the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship, focusing specifically on the contribution of selected contemporary literary and cinematic works, which contain representations of women’s participation in the Republican resistance movement, to the recuperation of historical memory. My research engages with theories and concepts from the field of memory studies in my analyses of the selected texts and attempts to determine the role played by their respective representational strategies in the process of confronting and bringing Spain’s recent past to light.

Radio Pirenaica: The Oral Historical Memory of the Grimau Case
Alfonso G A De la Quintana
El caso Grimau consistió en la detención, condena y fusilamiento de uno de los líderes comunistas más importantes de la lucha contra el franquismo infiltrado en 1962 en la España de Franco, y su correspondiente proceso judicial repleto de irregularidades gravísimas incluido un supuesto intento de suicidio.

Another Front Line: Francoist and Anti-Francoists in Argentina, 1936-1939

Pro-Franco or, if the reader prefers, Nationalist women, were supposed to be the antithesis of the only women who, it has been assumed, were really active in the war: Republican women. Pro-Franco women are assumed to have supported both established social and gender traditions, having collaborated in the war effort without transgressing these roles. This article argues that historians have underestimated pro-Franco women's participation in anti-Republican underground activities, in part because they have tended to make a false distinction between a 'real' Fifth Column, where men were clearly predominant, and 'merely' supportive roles, where women were crucial and often in the majority. On the contrary, this article argues that Nationalist women played a key, active role in intelligence activities in the Fifth Column, in acts of resistance against the Republic and also when posted abroad conducting espionage activities, or working in information gathering behind Francoist lines.
