Las lógicas de la violencia en la Guerra Civil: balance y perspectivas historiográficas

Abstract

In the last few years explanations of violence in the Spanish Civil War have undergone substantial transformations. New sources, new methods and new reflections on the centrality of violence during the Francoist regime and war period have facilitated one of the most meaningful reinterpretations of Spanish society in the 1930s and 40s. New research fields such as the institutional frameworks, the extent of social support or the relationship between academic and social knowledge about the past have all established themselves. In this article we reflect on recent historiography, the main debates and future orientations in this area. Interdisciplinary dialogue, local analyses and increased dissemination of knowledge towards a wider audience will lead the way forward
