HISTORY, IMAGE AND MEMORY OF ANDALUCIA HUM548

Description

This research group from the Department of Modern and Contemporary History specialises in the study of contemporary history of Spain, with special emphasis being placed on Andalusia. The researches of its components have focused mainly on political, social and cultural history, with contributions about the use of the image (graphic, photographic and cinematographic) as source for the history. Our latest work is about understanding the history of the Spanish Civil War and Spain under Franco through the oral testimonies, shaped in the edition of a book and the realization of a documentary that has been projected in the public television Andalusian and in the United States. The group has projected its work in the realization of international seminars, congresses and exhibitions.
