¿Más allá de la derrota ? Las memorias anarquistas como lugar de resistencia

The aim of this text is to delve into the memories of anarchism in recent Spain as a place of resistance and counterpoint to neoliberal presentist and dystopian thought.

description The aim of this text is to delve into the memories of anarchism in recent Spain as a place of resistance and counterpoint to neoliberal presentist and dystopian thought. This is because, since the late 1960s, the memory of the 1930s has occupied a prominent place in the languages of anarchism. The subaltern role it has played in the left as a whole since the 1930s-1940s and its character as the « great defeated » (which would link it to the failure of the attempts to articulate a new society in the republican rearguards of the Civil War) perforates not only a melancholic past, but also an alternative time with possibilities for action. Using interviews conducted in the format of life histories with militants from the 1970s and 1980s, as well as the analysis of cultural and historiographical products, I will explore this ambivalent but potentially subversive role that anarchist memories have been occupying.
