Peace as Democracy
In the early 1980s, large-scale, creative demonstrations against NATO's double-track decision mobilized thousands across Europe. This article examines the disarmament and peace protests of this period, not primarily through the lens of Cold War geopolitics but rather by exploring how perceptions of the bipolar conflict shaped ideas and practices of popular participation and exposed the limits of Western liberal democracies. Notably, the article w…
A Global Campus Beyond the Cold War. Peace and Disarmament Among Spanish Academics during the Debate on Joining and Remaining in Nato (1981-1986)
Historiography has recently shown a special interest in assessing the cultural impact of the social engagement of academics during the Cold War through their advocacy of disarmament or human rights. This academic social activism became part of a complex “transnational civil society,” which was to influence international relations. In light of these considerations, this article aims to delve into the distinctive characteristics of the “nuclear cul…
Democracy on the walls
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 constitut…
Shedding the old skin

A transatlantic Iberian Peninsula
After two challenging processes of democratisation, Spain and Portugal decided to celebrate their new democratic national identities through similar mega cultural events. Following the end of the Cold War, in 1992, Spain commemorated the Fifth Centenary of the first voyage of Columbus to the Americas, overlapping the event with the Seville Expo; six years later; Portugal planned a universal exhibition in Lisbon whose slogan was “The Oceans: a her…
A stage for nations
The present dossier collects a series of multidisciplinary empirical essays on the entangled relationship between Spanish identity and exhibits. Since the nineteenth century Spain has been both a participant and a venue for universal exhibitions, confronting itself with an imagery dramatically divided between traditional representations and an advocated modernity. Despite being a country incapable of competing economically with other western impe…
Walls of Anxiety
This article addresses the protest culture of the Spanish anti-NATO movement during the first half of the 1980s. Adopting a multidisciplinary approach, it focuses on the collective practice of painting murals and graffiti ( pintadas) on walls in the outskirts of Spanish cities. This was done by neighbourhood associations, together with local artists, in order to display and disseminate the widespread angst regarding entering and remaining in NATO…
La cuestión femenina en el PSOE de la Transición
Aunque a día de hoy ya contamos con numerosos estudios sobre los movimientos feministas durante la Transición española, siguen siendo escasas las investigaciones centradas en la transformación del papel de las mujeres dentro de aquellos partidos que moldearon la reforma democrática. Mi objetivo, por tanto, es analizar, en el marco del proceso de democratización, la particular Transición sociocultural protagonizada por las militantes del PSOE, un …
La modernidad del pasado. El PSOE en busca de una idea regenerada de España
The PSOE, who had an absolute majority since 1982, instigated a series of policies over the decade designed to foster a strategic national identity acceptable to as many social and territorial constituents as possible. 1992 was the culmination of this process. This article critically assesses the image of national identity that the PSOE attempted to transmit to the general population with mixes success. The particular focus is on cultural activit…
