ABSTRACT The period following Franco’s death witnessed significant cultural experiments in the fields of literature, the plastic arts, cinema, and popular music. However, scholars have paid little attention to “new music” (i.e., contemporary classical music), despite its historical and theoretical relevance. This is a remarkable omission considering the long-standing perception that the artistic avant-garde represents social progress and the widespread present-day interest in the relationship between musical practice and social justice. This paper addresses this research gap by examining how new music was used in 1970s and 1980s Spain to imagine an alternative to the controlled parliamentary democracy that was being built by Franco’s institutional successors. First, I analyze the critical examination of the previous musical stage, brought about by the new context of the transition to democracy, and the creation of new associations that were aimed at dynamizing Spain’s cultural life – such as the Asociación de Compositores Sinfónicos Españoles (ACSE), a sort of “trade union” for orchestral composers. I continue with the study of one of the most illustrative musical exercises aimed at experimenting with the idea of democracy: the ensemble Actum, created in 1973 on the initiative of the composer Llorenç Barber, which enacted a range of experimental creative ventures, based on improvisation and musical theatre, as meeting points for professional and amateur artists. Building upon previous studies on the participation of artistic cultures in the wider social struggle to define freedom and equality in the post-Francoist period, this article contributes to the ongoing reassessments of Spain’s democratic transition.
佛朗哥去世后的一段时间,在文学、造型艺术、电影和流行音乐等领域见证了重大的文化实验。然而,学者们很少关注“新音乐”(即当代古典音乐),尽管它具有历史和理论意义。这是一个显著的遗漏,考虑到长期以来的看法,艺术前卫代表社会进步和广泛的兴趣在音乐实践和社会正义之间的关系。本文通过研究20世纪70年代和80年代西班牙如何使用新音乐来想象佛朗哥体制继任者正在建立的受控制的议会民主的替代方案,从而解决了这一研究缺口。首先,我分析了先前音乐阶段的批判性审查,这是由向民主过渡的新背景所带来的,以及旨在活跃西班牙文化生活的新协会的创建——例如Asociación de Compositores Sinfónicos Españoles (ACSE),一种管弦乐作曲家的“工会”。我继续研究旨在试验民主思想的最具说明意义的音乐练习之一:1973年在作曲家Llorenç Barber的倡议下创建的合奏团Actum,它基于即兴创作和音乐剧制定了一系列实验性的创造性冒险,作为专业和业余艺术家的交汇点。基于先前对艺术文化参与后弗朗哥时期定义自由和平等的更广泛的社会斗争的研究,本文有助于对西班牙民主转型的持续重新评估。

This book, From the Wild Nineteenth century to the Unstable Twentieth century Through Transatlantic Letters: a Retrospective Look At Hispanists, is meant to present a multidisciplinary approach to research of Nineteenth and Twentieth century Spanish literature on three thematic axes. One thread that connects all of the sixteen chapters of this book is that they share a critical and methodological orientation linked to Transatlantic Studies and Hispanicism. The first section is entitled “Round Trips,” which explores the fluid routes between the European and American shores of the Atlantic, which facilitated the movement of people and the exchange of knowledge, since the Nineteenth century and continues to this day. In the opening section we highlight women and men who undertook these transatlantic trips, such as the scientist Inés de Echevarría, the philologist Rafael Lapesa, and the writers Rosa Montero and Paloma Díaz-Mas. In this book we also consider those who took one-way trips across the Atlantic, like the writer Mercedes Pinto, and the poet Eugénio de Castro. In every case, the scholars look beyond their horizons for answers to

ABSTRACT This article focuses on Lídia Jorge’s first two novels, O dia dos prodígios (The Day of Prodigies) and O cais das merendas (Picnic Quay), as anti-realist allegories that challenge the consensus vision of a free and equal “people”, encouraged by propaganda, celebrating the Portuguese Revolution of 25 April 1974. Following Jacques Rancière’s philosophical insights on literariness and democracy, each of the novels is analyzed in relation to an equivocal, misunderstood process of democratization that continues to exclude and ignore “the part of those who do not count” in the theoretical equality of all citizens in a given regime. Specifically, the analysis sheds light on what Prime Minister Maria de Lourdes Pintasilgo once called “the small revolutions” of anonymous common people who, rather than submit to an equality that shuts them out, perform theatrical, political acts of disagreement calling attention to themselves as human subjects of social injustices or wrongs. Specific attention is given to the geo-cultural location and the economic configuration of the communities fictionalized in each novel, dramatizing different stages of the so-called transition to democracy. Jorge’s complex texts provoke us to “see” history otherwise, according to the experience of a “people” confined to a coastal fringe of land who are undergoing a violent but unavoidable transformation from a rural subsistence economy to a capitalist market economy dependent on foreign investments and a liberal multi-party democracy.

ABSTRACT After the fall of the right-wing Estado Novo in Portugal in 1974 and the death of the military dictator Francisco Franco in Spain in 1975, many protest murals appeared in both countries on the walls of abandoned buildings and in marginalized urban spaces. These ephemeral grassroots artworks celebrated the collective liberation of the Iberian people from the cultural constraints of Western Europe’s two most enduring dictatorships. Murals constituted a striking visual response to the sociopolitical changes occurring in two countries that were experiencing the transition to democracy in very different ways. In this article, I argue that collectively painted murals, often overlooked in scholarship, are a valuable visual source to analyze contrasting ways of conceiving democracy from below and the appropriation of public spaces following the demise of two long-standing ultra-Catholic dictatorships. By acknowledging the multilayered power of images in murals and drawing on a rich body of research in visual studies, this contribution will address common people’s iconography in Iberian murals and the collective actions of those who sought to secure democratic rights. I will place particular emphasis not only on the visual representational framework of the relationship between the masses and individuals but also on the depiction of gender relations as an intrinsic part of the democratization process in both countries.
