Abstract

This paper aims to delve into the underlying trends of the contemporary historiography of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).Under the guidance of historical accounts developed outside Spain before the end of the Francoist dictatorship (1939-1977), and during the transition to democracy (1977-1983), some Spanish historians strove to write a bias-free and fact-based depiction of the war and its aftermath. By relying on closereadings of historical documents, those historians assumed their methodology to be the most accurate when dealing with historical events that are so contested. However, recent shifts in the way this past has been remembered in Spain haveproduced a historiography endorsing new perspectives, which has also given rise to controversies among historians regarding the scope of and the assumptions underlying their work. To understand the currents of these debates, this paper echoes these groundbreaking approaches and attempts to illuminate how the influence of the social movement of «historical memory» has led Spanish historians to question their assumptions and endorse a more heterodox and interdisciplinary approach to engaging with the history of the Spanish Civil War.

重新思考西班牙内战的史学:对有争议的过去的各种方法
本文旨在深入探讨西班牙内战(1936-1939)当代史学的潜在趋势。在佛朗哥独裁统治结束前(1939-1977)和西班牙向民主过渡期间(1977-1983),西班牙历史学家在国外发展的历史记录的指导下,努力写出一种无偏见的、基于事实的战争及其后果的描述。通过对历史文献的仔细研究,这些历史学家认为他们的方法在处理如此有争议的历史事件时是最准确的。然而,最近西班牙对过去的记忆方式发生了变化,产生了一种支持新观点的史学,这也引起了历史学家之间关于他们工作的范围和假设的争议。为了理解这些争论的趋势,本文回应了这些开创性的方法,并试图阐明“历史记忆”的社会运动的影响如何导致西班牙历史学家质疑他们的假设,并支持一种更非正统和跨学科的方法来研究西班牙内战的历史。

期刊介绍: History refers to the permanent dialogue between past and present, change and permanence, duration and event, linear and cyclical, diachronic and synchronic. It refers to a system of thought that gives an account of society in time. Memory, on the other hand is one of the fields that configure our recent past, constituted by a convergence of practices, social representations, collective imagination, and ways in which the population identifies itself in a context. The purpose of Historia Y MEMORIA journal is to disseminate unpublished research-based essays and articles in any historiographical field.
