Year: 2013
Type: article
Abstract: The article is devoted to the problem of representation of historical memory on Civil War in the exhibitions of contemporary Spanish museums. Two its main objectives: a) a reflection on the theoretical and practical problems that are presented to the museums for the preservation of historical memory; b) an analysis of the evolution of museums about the Spanish Civil War. In Spain, the use of the public memory of the Civil War has evolved since Franco’s death. In fact, two distinct stages can be defined. During the transition to democracy, the public memory of the past above all sought stability in the new democratic era, and to do so promoted reconciliation between the old enemies. The governments in the democratic era pursued low-profile policies of memory. In recent years a new set of policies have been pursued that aim not merely to achieve reconciliation, but to acknowledge and honor the victims and to reassert democratic values. Since the year 2000, the anti-Francoist memory has gained social and political capital. In fact, since the turn of the century a vast number of projects for the recovery of the historical memory have been launched. The author analyzes the most significant museum projects in this area and indicates their relationship with the new policy of memory.
