- Ribeiro de Menezes' article, 'Memory as Disruption: Entanglements of Memory and Crisis in Contemporary Spain' was published as the final article in a special issue of the Bulletin of Hispanic Studies entitled 'The Future of Memory in Spain'. It was commissioned by the journal editors to mark the 10th anniversary of the so-called 'Ley de Memoria Histórica' or 'Law of Historical Memory', passed in 2007. The special issue was co-edited by Ribeiro de Menezes and Stewart King (Monash University, Melbourne), who wrote a co-authored introduction (open access at: http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/88529/). The special issue was conceived not only to address the anniversary of the memory law, but to reflect on a decade of memory research in Spain and to set out possible avenues for future work. Menezes and King selected and brought together a range of targeted expertise, covering the fields of prose narrative (essays by Stuart Davis and Francis Lough on affect in novels and short stories, King on detective fiction), film and visual art (Sally Faulkner developing Laura Marks' theory of delayed cinema in a recently recovered piece by Fernán-Gómez, Ribeiro de Menezes on Santiago Sierra), and theatre (Ribeiro de Menezes on López Mozo and Helena Buffery on affect and trauma in contemporary stage production). Against this backdrop, Ribeiro de Menezes' closing article considered the manner in which memory debates became entangled with the wider economic crisis in Spain after 2008. The volume as a whole offers not only new analyses of previously understudied works, but rigorous theoretical discussions of how memory research has changed in the past two decades since the theme erupted into the civic domain, and how it might gain new vigour and insights from work beyond the Spanish context.
