Irregular warfare in Spain
As comparative analyses of irregular warfare have shown, two of the principal means of deciphering forms of degenerated, irregular warfare are the participation of women and the persecution of unarmed civilians. To unravel the nature of irregular warfare in post-civil war Spain, the present paper will combine these emphases, focusing upon the changing roles of women who found themselves in the middle of the theatre of operations between 1939 and …
Was There a Resistance Fascism
Is it possible to identify traces of dissent or even resistance to Francoism within a single fascist party? Can there be elements of radical opposition within fascism in its long duration? This article’s discussion of this question, centered on the Spanish Falange’s case, will focus on two main topics that define the parameters of historiographical discussion of an idealized (‘authentic’, ‘pure’, ‘uncontaminated’, ‘rebellious’) fascism that may a…
Ecos del fascismo. Derecha radical y populismo, de Trump a Vox
Meses después de la victoria de Fratelli d'Italia en las elecciones legislativas italianas de 2022, parece un momento propicio para abordar el debate sobre el «retorno» del fascismo, lo cual es como preguntarse sobre qué tienen de fascista los proyectos políticos de las derechas radicales populistas europeas y mundiales y, en definitiva, qué es y qué queda del fascismo. Pese echar sus raíces en procesos y movimientos de largo recorrido, nos centr…
Código de honor y culturas políticas a inicios del siglo XX argentino. Notas sobre la identidad radical
A partir de la reformulación de la historia política en las últimas décadas, ha sido posible combinar marcos teóricos y objetos de estudio antes impensables en la disciplina. A tono con estas renovaciones, en el artículo se propondrá una reflexión de índole teórica sobre las posibilidades analíticas de combinar el estudio del honor en la política argentina de inicios de siglo XX, con los aportes conceptuales de las “culturas políticas”. Luego de …
Civil Wars
Civil wars constitute an element without which the history of humanity is incomprehensible. Since 1917, they alone claimed some 20 million lives and displaced 67 million people, standing alone as the undisputed primary form of armed conflict worldwide since the end of the Second World War. Their definition is crucial to understand them and to place them within intrastate and transnational policies. However, in its definition, the historical dimen…
Los campos de concentración y exterminio en el Estado Independiente de Croacia
Las investigaciones realizadas en la historiografía española sobre los campos de concentración y exterminio establecidos por los diferentes regímenes fascistas entre los años treinta y cuarenta han centrado su atención en los casos de Alemania y España. No obstante, en esa misma cronología y en el marco de la Segunda Guerra Mundial hubo otros espacios europeos en los que los nuevos poderes crearon toda una red concentracionaria propia, tal y como…
Franco rosa. La representación del Caudillo en la prensa del corazón (1944-1976), entre política, adhesión y normalización
El presente artículo plantea un análisis de las formas de representación de Franco en la prensa rosa, a partir del estudio de la revista de mayor tirada e impacto, ¡Hola!, a lo largo de la vida del Caudillo. Se analizan especialmente tres grandes ciclos vitales-narrativos, a saber: el de la legitimación internacional en el contexto de la segunda posguerra mundial, el de la identificación de Franco como benefactor en el contexto del desarrollo eco…
La guerra después de la guerra, 1939-1949
Before the Convention
This article uses the tools of comparative history to address an important aspect of the Spanish Civil War: the fact that it generated waves of both internally displaced persons and cross-border refugees. Situating the conflict within the context of inter-war Europe, and particularly historical processes of deportation, forced migration, and exile, it analyses the challenges that the crisis of the war and subsequent post-war period in Spain intro…
Migration Studies
Community members such as migrants are involved to collect data but not included in the actual research process, for example, in developing research guidelines or in using research tools such as data analysis. Participatory methodology enables investigating a specific issue while including the community involved. In the So-Close project, we applied this approach to investigate how we study migration and the role of the cultural heritage of forced…
Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939
In this highly important book, Javier Rodrigo examines the role of Fascist Italy in the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939. Fascist Italy’s intervention in the Spanish Civil War to provide material, strategic, and diplomatic assistance led to Italy becoming a belligerent in the conflict. Following the unsuccessful military coup of July 1936 and the insurgents’ subsequent failure to take Madrid, the Corps of Voluntary Troops (CTV, Corpo Truppe Vo…

Effects of Tetraselmis chuii Microalgae Supplementation on Ergospirometric, Haematological and Biochemical Parameters in Amateur Soccer Players
This study aimed to analyse the effects of Tetraselmis chuii (TC) microalgae supplementation during thirty days on ergospirometric, haematological and biochemical parameters in amateur soccer players. Thirty-two amateur soccer players divided into a control group (CG; n = 16; 22.36 ± 1.36 years; 68.36 ± 3.53 kg) and a supplemented group (SG; n = 16; 22.23 ± 2.19 years; 69.30 ± 5.56 kg) participated in the double-blind study. SG ingested 200 mg of…

Io, proprio qui». Sui dibattiti intorno alla Valle de los Caídos
On fascistization
‘Single party, single militia, single worker’s union, on these three pillars the great Spain of tomorrow will be built’, wrote Mussolini to Franco in August 1937, only four months after the new single party, Falange Española Tradicionalista y de las JONS, was created. From the Duce’s point of view, all the political tools developed to achieve a brilliant present and a greater future were the result of Italian intervention in the Spanish Civil War…
A fascist warfare? Italian fascism and war experience in the Spanish Civil War (1936–39)
Initiated as an armament, strategic and diplomatic assistance, the fascist intervention in the Spanish Civil War soon made Italy a belligerent country in the conflict. Once the initial coup d’état plan had failed, the Corpo Truppe Volontarie (CTV) was created to help Franco, and also as a tool to build fascist Spain and, indeed, fascist Europe. This paper examines a crucial part of the Italian intervention in Spain, far from irrelevance or trivia…
Under the Sign of Mars
This article explores the comparative history of violence in European civil wars from 1917 to 1949, beginning with the war in Russia and ending with the one in Greece. Its main goal is to prepare a framework for a transnational comparative debate on the category of ‘civil war’ and its historical and analytical elements in order to better understand why internal conflicts are universally assumed to be particularly violent and cruel. Responding to …
Dark, bloody and savage
This paper looks at major European twentieth-century narratives and interpretations that have seen it as an age of violence, terror and genocide. Using examples from historiographical debate and the analysis of specific historical processes (including the debates on genocide, concentrationary systems, civil wars and the Holocaust), it addresses both the characteristics of those narratives and some of their limitations and conceptual edges. Finall…
Fascism and violence in Spain
Fascism in Spain? Almost no historian has spoken of fascism in Franco’s Spain without denying it altogether, modifying conceptual boundaries or adding terminological parameters (para-, proto-, pseudo-, -ized). Yet, it is just possible that something is not being handled correctly. In this article, through a critical review of some of the central features in the field of historical interpretation of fascism, comparative analysis is employed to re-…
Exploitation, fascist violence and social cleansing
One of the most noticeable topics within recent Spanish historiography is the analysis of processes of mass violence. Salient among these were the Franco concentration camps, a violent re-educational system made up of more than 180 camps, 104 of which were permanent. The camps operated from 1936 until 1947, under the control of Franco's army, with its corresponding regime of forced labour and exploitation of prisoners of war. Half a million Spani…
