Description
Summary:This article analyses the relation between history and memory through the case of the massive violence of the Spanish context after the coup of 1936, the Spanish Civil War and the first years of Franco’s regime. It analyses the process of transformation of the sites of violence in sites of memory during Francoism, and in the current democracy that was born in the transition. The present article argues that in the Spanish case this transformation meant the creation of places of denial, like a previous step to its conversion in places of oblivion and impunity.
