The Centre for Research on Communities and Cultures at Canterbury Christ
Church University (UK) invites submissions for this IAMCR
pre-conference, which will mark the eightieth anniversary of the
beginning of the Spanish Civil War.

During this two-day conference, we will examine the intersections
between memory, truth, justice, ideology, the state and conceptions of
the future, considering the role of the media, notions of collective
identity and the place of new generations in relation to the continuing
struggle over public memory in Spain.

In addition, we are delighted to host a participatory workshop,
co-sponsored by the IAMCR Emerging Scholars Network, which will focus on
the methodological opportunities and challenges of conducting research
into Memory.

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

- The significance of the conflict in contemporary Spain

- National, regional and local memories of the conflict

- Ideology and the state

- Representations of the conflict in the news, film and television

- Spain’s memory movement

- Memory, truth and justice

- Memory and the future

- Methodological opportunities and challenges IN researching memory

- Postmemory and new generations

Please submit a 250-word abstract and 100-word biography at
http://iamcr.org/leicester2016/preconf/spanish-civil-war by 12 February
2016. Proposals will be peer-reviewed and decisions will be communicated
by 28 February. We expect to facilitate the publication of the
conference papers as either a special issue of a peer-reviewed journal
or as an edited book.

You may send any questions about the event

proposals directly through the link provided above.
