CALL FOR ARTICLES

*_Special Issue 8.1 (Spring 2016) - ‘The Spanish Civil War 80 years on:
discourse, memory and the media’_*
Catalan Journal of Communication & Cultural Studies – Special Issue 8.1
(Spring 2016)
Guest Editors: Ruth Sanz Sabido (Canterbury Christ Church University),
Stuart Price (De Montfort University), and Laia Quílez Esteve (Rovira i
Virgili University)


The Catalan Journal of Communication and Cultural Studies invites
submissions for a 2016 Special Issue that will mark the eightieth
anniversary of the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, by presenting a
collection of articles that represent the latest perspectives on the
cultural, historical, regional, political, and social aspects of the
Civil War and its legacy.

This Special Issue considers Memory as yet another site of struggle, a
contemporary re-enactment of the old divisions that are very much part
of the country’s identity and which still permeate social, political and
cultural life in contemporary Spain. The collection of articles will
acknowledge the reproduction of these tensions, but will also offer a
clear-sighted account of the conflict, grounded in a variety of
historical and political discourses, oral testimonies, and analyses of
media outputs.

We invite contributions from scholars, researchers and practitioners
from around the world to submit full articles on topics that may
include, but are not limited to, the following:

– Media representations of trauma and violence in the Civil War,
Franco’s repression, the final years of the dictatorship and the transition
– The significance of the conflict in contemporary Spain
– Memory and the Civil War
– Postmemory and Civil War, Francoism and the Transition
– Collective identities (national and regional)
– The work of Memory Associations in Spain
– Women in the Civil War and beyond
– The struggle of anarchists and libertarian communists
– Constructions of ‘national’ (Spanish) memories and their national and
regional significance
– Social perceptions of the Civil War, the dictatorship and the transition
– Using the past to look into the future

The journal plans to include*articles between 6000 and 7000 words*, as
well as brief research notes and reports of around 3000 words for the
Viewpoint section. Full articles for proposed contributions should be
sent to (catalan.journal /at/ urv.cat) by *15 October 2015*. All contributions
will be subjected to double blind peer review.
