- Double-weighted statement
- This book is the result of seven years of research. It offers an extended interdisciplinary assessment of memory debates in Spain since the turn of the millennium by drawing on a wide range of primary and secondary sources, and involved considerable library research. In particular the generic breadth - law, historiography, narrative, film, television series and comic strips - adds an unusual complexity and richness to the analysis of the topic. The book brings a transnational dimension in setting Spanish memory debates in the context of both European and North American theories of memory, and Latin American developments of these.

- Additional information
- As noted in the book’s acknowledgements, ‘Part of chapter 3 was originally published as “Family Memories, Postmemory, and the Rupture of Tradition in Josefina Aldecoa’s Civil War Trilogy,” Hispanic Research Journal 13 (2012), 250–63.’ This article, which discusses one Spanish woman author, was submitted to REF 2014. The text was partially revised when it was integrated into the present monograph, where it corresponds to just part (pp. 74-85) of a much larger analysis of postmemorial family narratives in chapter 3 (pp. 59-85).
