El regreso de la hispanidad
Este artículo de autoría múltiple aborda desde trayectorias de investigación etnográfica diversas el impacto de lo que denominamos el «retorno de la hispanidad», una categoría ideológica de raíces fascistas, que se institucionalizó e impuso durante la dictadura franquista, y que está adquiriendo un nuevo protagonismo político-cultural en el contexto de crecimiento de las nuevas derechas radicales. La propuesta es explorar el empuje y el efecto de…
Antropología social y estudios de memoria
El planteamiento de base de este artículo explora cómo la antropología social puede intervenir en la conversación que se ha abierto en los últimos años en los llamados 'estudios de memoria'. Resulta paradójico que la antropología permanece aún en la periferia de esta conversación a pesar de que, como trataré de demostrar a través de algunos ejemplos, se trata en buena parte de una disciplina que ha prestado históricamente -y sigue prestando actua…
Francisco Franco Is Back
Based on long-term ethnographic research on contemporary exhumations of mass graves from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), as well as analysis of the exhumation of Francisco Franco from the Valley of the Fallen, this paper looks at the ways in which the dictator's moral exemplarity has evolved over time since his military victory in 1939. During the early years of his dictatorship, Franco's propaganda machine built the legend of a historical cha…
Jeffrey J. Juris (1971-2020)
Jeffrey J. Juris (New Jersey, 1971-Boston, 2020) fue pionero en el estudio del movimiento altermundialista, tema al que dedicó su tesis doctoral, presentada en la Universidad de Berkeley y luego publicada en su influyente libro Networking Futures: the Movements against Corporate Globalization (2008). Ademas de los Estados Unidos, llevó a cabo trabajo de campo en Cataluña y México, a partir de una etnografía transnacional y militante. El artículo …
Transacciones necropolíticas en la España contemporánea
En 2011 participé en la Comisión de Expertos para el Futuro del Valle de los Caídos nombrada por el gobierno de José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero y, más concretamente, por el entonces Ministro de la Presidencia, Ramón Jáuregui, destinada a proponer medidas para resignificar y democratizar este complejo monumento. Después de seis meses de reuniones, elaboramos un extenso informe en el que la recomendación estrella era la exhumación de Francisco Franco …

Ethnographies of the Present and the Future
Memory worlds
This article, a prologue to the special issue 'Memory Worlds: Reframing Time and the Past', is a follow-up to the plenary session 'Connecting Memory Traditions around the World', organised by the authors in the Third Annual Conference of the Memory Studies Association held in Madrid (2019). Elaborating on the work of critical physicists such as Rovelli and Barad, it calls into question hegemonic conceptions of linear time and the past in two ways…
Exhumar la derrota
A partir del estudio de caso de dos fosas comunes exhumadas en un pequeño pueblo con ocho años de diferencia, me abordo la transformación de las exhumaciones de la Guerra Civil (1936-1939) en España en la primera década del siglo XXI. La súbita aparición en la esfera pública de los esqueletos de civiles ejecutados por paramilitares franquistas ha suscitado acalorados debates sobre la forma de gestionar dichos restos en un estado democrático conso…
Un mundo de disparidades
Este texto establece las claves principales de la línea editorial que Disparidades. Revista de Antropología, cuyo nombre estrena en este número, llevará en los próximos años. El cambio de denominación responde a un largo proceso de debate entre los miembros del Consejo de Redacción en el periodo 2015-2018, y tiene como finalidad profundizar en la armonización de la revista con las transformaciones de la disciplina antropológica en las últimas déc…
Unburials, Generals, and Phantom Militarism
This paper is based on a 16-year-long ethnography of mass grave exhumations in contemporary Spain and deals with the tortuous, painful, much-disputed, and incomplete unmaking of a concrete and massive militaristic inscription of Spain: that related to its last internal war (1936-1939) and subsequent dictatorship (1939-1975). To understand this process and its historical roots, the paper first dissects the formation of a "funerary apartheid" in th…

Revista de Antropología, con el objetivo de adaptarse a la nueva política editorial y, fundamentalmente, a las transformaciones de la disciplina antropológica en las últimas décadas. Aunque el título original atesora un indudable capital científico, el Consejo de Redacción de la revista ha considerado que ha l…
Afterlives
What things were interred and sacrificed amid magic incantations! What horrible cabinet of curiosities lies there below, where the deepest shafts are reserved for what is most commonplace! In a night of despair, I dreamed I was with my first friend from my school days, whom I had not seen for decades, and had scarcely ever remembered in that time, tempestuously renewing our friendship and brotherhood. But when I awoke it became clear that what de…
Memory, media and spectacle
The Franco regime promoted a memory of the war full of distortions and omissions. The silenced existence of mass graves with Republican civilians executed by Francoists was among the most outrageous of these. During the transition, the desire to put aside the traumatic memory of the war led to the neglect of these victims. This was particularly visible in the absence of government policies regarding these corpses. In spite of this silence, a firs…
Necropolitics
This remarkable book demonstrates through in-depth case studies from ten countries around the world how the forensic exhumation of mass graves is inextricably intertwined with grassroots initiatives, national political developments, international human rights advocacy, and transnational claims of transitional justice.
Subterranean Autopsies
The concept of ‘subterranean’ which I use in this text aims to extend the semantic field of the experience of defeat in the Spanish Civil War.1 It tries to contribute to the deciphering of the historical, social, political and symbolic profile of the tens of thousands of people executed by the insurgent army and associated paramilitaries in the rearguard of the Spanish Civil War (1936–39) and subsequently in Francoist post-war Spain, and whose li…
Violence and the politics of memory in a global context
Engaging with a growing body of literature regarding post-violence remembrance, this article considers how distinct disciplines approach the study of contemporary “memory cultures” and addresses the issues that arise when violent pasts are considered in a global, comparative perspective. The paper reflects on theoretical and conceptual debates that have emerged in the permanent seminar, Traces and Faces of Violence, an intellectual ILLACCHS- CSIC…
Exhuming Loss
Reseña de: Renshaw, Layla. Exhuming loss: memory, materiality and mass graves of the Spanish Civil War. Walnut Creel: Left Coast, 2011, 259 pp
Rapid response ethnographies in turbulent times
Sometimes a social process under engaged research can swiftly grow out of control, in scale and complexity. Such was the case in my ten‐year‐long study of mass grave exhumations from the Civil War (1936–1939) in contemporary Spain. In such circumstances, I argue for the deployment of a rapid response ethnography, an extreme modality of both public and/or engaged research. This type of instant engagement forces the ethnographer to constantly refas…
Exhuming the defeated
The exhumations of two mass graves in a small Spanish village, conducted eight years apart, illustrate changing attitudes toward and procedures related to Civil War (1936-39) disinterments over the last decade. The sudden public visibility of skeletons of civilians executed by Francisco Franco's paramilitary has triggered heated debates both about how to handle these remains in a consolidated democratic state and what to make of related judicial …
Organización cultural o asociación ilícita? Reyes y reinas latinos entre Madrid y Barcelona
L’article es proposa mostrar que el divers tractament social atorgat a la presència de «reis» y «reines» llatins a diferents llocs d’Espanya ha justificat diferents plantejaments d’intervenció que han estat defensats fonamentalment pels poders públics. Per fer-ho, presentem els primers resultats d’un projecte d’I + D + I en el qual s’ha dut a terme treball de camp a Barcelona i Madrid. Aquests contextos locals exemplifiquen diferents modalitats d…
Autopsia social de un subtierro
Este artículo propone una conceptualización de las fosas comunes de la derrota derivadas de la Guerra Civil española (1936- 1939) y la posguerra utilizando la noción del subtierro -asimilable a una forma extrema de exilio interior bajo tierra-, cuyo origen histórico sería el mismo que el de los exiliados, desterrados o transterrados que tuvieron que abandonar España, pero cuyas condiciones de producción y cuya historia social, política, simbólica…
Fosas comunes, paisajes del terror
Las exhumaciones de fosas comunes de la Guerra Civil española y la posguerra de la última década, muy especialmente de fosas abandonadas de la retaguardia franquista, se han colocado en un lugar central de los debates contemporáneos sobre la naturaleza y alcance de la contienda y el régimen que surgió de ella. En este artículo, se analiza la complejidad y dinamismo del proceso, que incluye desde iniciativas políticas y judiciales de enorme proyec…
Open veins
Transnational processes of stigmatization and criminalization of poverty associated to neoliberal models of development unfold locally in various modalities and intensities of de-pacification of everyday life. In this framework, this article presents the case study of a well-known spirit possession devotion in Venezuela, the cult of María Lionza, where the enormous symbolic, structural and repressive pressure exerted on shantytown dwellers, parti…
Cries and Whispers
In this paper, I will reflect on the impact in contemporary Spain of the production, circulation and consumption of narratives and images of Civil War terror and suffering, specifically those resulting from the opening of mass graves from the Francoist repression. This sharing of narratives has to be seen in the context of a broader and highly controversial process of reconsideration of the Civil War as a traumatic past. At a time when Spanish so…

The return of Civil War ghosts
Mass graves resulting from episodes of extreme violence are crucial evidence of the wounds of history, and a key to understanding the dynamics of terror. The intentional jumbling of unidentified corpses in unmarked graves is a source of disorder, anxiety and division in many societies \n(Robben 2000). As a sophisticated instrument of terror, this type of grave is intended to bury the social memory of violence and thus to strengthen the fear-based…

The Body as Wound
During the 1990s, Venezuela saw both an intensification in the levels of everyday violence and in the ideological operations blaming the poor for this state of affairs, resulting in a large-scale criminalization of shantytown dwellers, especially young men. This production of social stigma is of one piece with the implementation of repressive state policies. Based on one-year's ethnographic fieldwork on the well-known spirit possession cult of Ma…
Guerras sin fin
The most recent cycle of exhumations of Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and Postwar Mass Graves, which started in the year 2000, has affected very specially the location, digging and dignification of those mass graves originated by the rebel army's rearguard repression during the War and, later, in the early Postwar years of Francoism. These diggings have inevitably drawn the country's attention to the most uncanny of all National Catholic monument…
