Introduction
When Was the War in Spain? Liberal State, Illiberal Justice in the Twentieth Century
The article analyzes increasingly militarized state power and public order in twentieth-century Spain, discussing these in the context of other European states’ disciplinary regimes, with their ubiquitous social-Darwinist dimension in an era of accelerating urbanization, industrial change and emergent mass societies. The article offers a dissection of the often problematically opaque term ‘liberal’, arguing that wherever Spain or other twentieth-…
Not Recognizing the Political
This article analyzes Francoism through its prison system – from the mass incarcerations of the 1940s (deployed as an instrument of overt political repression) to the gaols of the 1960s developmentalist dictatorship, by which time the majority of prisoners were not activists but the ‘ballast’/‘excess’ of high-speed industrialization/urbanization undertaken without any welfare safety net. The article discusses how the dictatorship conceived of the…
On Historicising the War in Spain
In the early 2000s a popular British history magazine commissioned me to write a historiographical essay on the war of 1936–9 in Spain, only then to say that they wouldn't be able to publish my text because their readers ‘wouldn't recognise in it the war they knew’ . The essay I'd written analysed the conflict in 1930s Spain in the context of the many cognate ones catalysed across continental Europe by the war of 1914–8. All these conflicts were,…

Between speaking out in public and being person-centred
The Living Archive of Learning Disability History is being developed by an inclusive team of researchers both with and without learning disabilities. We argue the archive is important in making publicly visible the lives of people with learning disabilities. Yet – drawing on thinking that came out of our collaborative workshops – we also identify alternative imperatives, that you might want to have control over how you share your personal memorie…

The Development and Refinement of a Regional Model for Medicines Optimisation in Older People in the Intermediate Care Setting
The International Journal of Integrated Care (IJIC) is an online, open-access, peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes original articles in the field of integrated care on a continuous basis.IJIC has an Impact Factor of 5.120 (2020 JCR, received in June 2021)
A Capability Approach to Unemployed Young People's Voice and Agency in the Development and Implementation of Employment Activation Policies
In the UK, current approaches to employment activation are primarily concerned with rapid labour market entry, with jobseekers compelled to engage in activities or be sanctioned. The Capability Approach (CA) has been proposed as an alternative framework to measure successful employment activation. It is concerned with what people can do rather than what they actually do, together with their substantive freedom of choice. In applying the CA, atten…
Interrogating Francoism
Helen Graham here brings together leading historians of international renown to examine 20th-century Spain in light of Franco’s dictatorship and its legacy. Interrogating Francoism uses a three-part structure to look at the old regime, the civil war and the forging of Francoism; the nature of Franco’s dictatorship; and the ‘history wars’ that have since taken place over his legacy. Social, political, economic and cultural historical approaches ar…
When the workshop is working
Purpose – This paper comes from workshop activities and structured reflection by a group of artists and researchers who have been using artistic practice within research projects aimed at enabling researchers to collaborate with communities. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Three out of four in the group have a practicing creative background and their own studio/workshop space. Findings – Artists are often emp…
Post-critical museology
Notes1 As Povey (Citation2002, p. 126) explains: This method lies at the heart of all modern uses of the social to explain observable practices and relationships by reference not only to this point of view but also to an infrastructure that can only be theorized through the objectifying perspective that creates the mediating abstraction in the first place
Employability, Poverty and the Spheres of Sociability – Evidence from the British Household Panel Survey
Policymakers in the UK and beyond have sought to promote interventions to encourage social capital‐building among disadvantaged groups. One specific concern is that those with limited access to social capital/social network relationships will be at greater risk of experiencing both unemployment and poverty. By analyzing longitudinal data from the B ritish H ousehold P anel S urvey ( BHPS ), we seek to identify significant relationships between po…
The Personal is still Political
Copyright is a means of managing the interests of individual authors and those of the 'public interest'. In a museum context, copyright is a technical practice which illuminates how museums imagine and manage their own organizational legitimacy - a settlement which has often operated through a 'public interest argument' ('we need you to hand over control of your object/story for the benefit of all'). Drawing on interviews with people who work in …

Museums and How to Know About Access
MUSEUMS AND HOW TO KNOW ABOUT ACCESS We will come to the elephant, the security guard, the mannequins, the fear and the fries. But all these moments took place in 'a museum' and so it is with 'museums' that we begin. Museums are odd institutions which exist to do odd and particular kinds of work with materiality, time and social relations. Museums make themselves as the kind of structure which allow things from the past to be preserved so they ex…
Une societe agronomique au XVIIIe siecle
1776 was a memorable year for the Enlightenment: Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence paralleled Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations. Yet we also know that those achievements coincided with Louis XVI’s dismissal of Turgot. Few of us, however, will be aware that 1776 was equivalently memorable in a quiet corner of rural Anjou, where a group of amateur agronomists issued their first series of publications and dispatched their initial correspondence. …
Everyday ethics in community-based participatory research
This article explores a range of ethical issues that arise in community-based participatory research (CBPR), drawing on literature and examples from practice. The experience of CBPR practitioners adds further weight to the growing critique by many other social researchers of regulatory approaches to research ethics (which focus on rule following in accordance with research governance frameworks, codes of conduct and ethics review procedures). Yet…
After the Fear was Over? What Came After Dictatorships in Spain, Greece, and Portugal
What Spain, Greece, and Portugal have in common in the twentieth century is the manner in which their internal processes of change – rural to urban, agrarian to industrial – were intervened in and inflected at crucial moments and with enduring effect by the force of international political agendas. By the 1960s, in all three countries, the fearful imaginaries of traditionalists still saw a disguised form of communism in the ‘godlessness’ of Ameri…
Casado's Ghosts
The article analyses the war-induced circumstances that permitted the success of the March 1939 Casado rebellion inside an exhausted and fragmented Republican zone. In displacing Prime Minister Juan Negrín, it destroyed all possibility of realizing his plans for an orderly evacuation of those most at risk from Francoist reprisals. The article examines the attitudes to the rebellion of Spanish socialists and communists, whose organizations articul…
Scaling Governmentality
This article explores contemporary uses of museum co-production for public policy through a sustained theoretical engagement with Tony Bennett's work on museums as an 'object of government'. The specific focus is a theoretical discussion of the 'logic of culture' as it relates to new UK policy uses of participants' 'experience' as the desired site of authenticity at the very same time as the process of expressing this authenticity is located as a…

Fleurs-de-lis in the forest
The notion of "resource management" has inspired some historians to rethink the nature of the state authority in early modern Europe. Like recent work on parts of Italy and Germany, this article investigates the development and implementation of legislation that sought to regulate the management and exploitation of forests. This was self-interested policymaking: as ancien régime France strove to match Britain's naval, colonial and maritime streng…
Department of Culture, Media and Sport's Peer Review Pilot
April 2009 saw the publication of the documents generated by the UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport's museum Peer Review Pilot. This Policy Review offers both an overview of the process and a conceptual critique both of the Peer Review Pilot and the McMaster Review criteria on which the pilot was based. It is argued that the McMaster Review is grounded on a reading of excellence as “life-changing experiences” predicated on an imagined tran…

The final series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer was produced and aired in 2002/03 during the run up to and weeks following the US/UK invasion of Iraq. This article argues that in this new context Buffy's once polysemic representational cycle was shifted, creating explicit, and unpleasurable, ideological signification. Working with Lawrence Grossberg's argument that since the mid-twentieth century affect and ideology have become disarticulated and th…

Out of the social and economic turmoil of Europe in the 1930s, the Popular Front emerged as the spearhead of the left's bid to stop fascism in its tracks. Fifty years on from the birth of the Popular
The Spanish Civil War
The Spanish Civil War was one of the 20th century's most complex and bitter conflicts. What were its causes? And why does it continue to exert a particular fascination today? Halen Graham highlights the domestic and international context of the war, and reveals its origins in the political and cultural anxieties provoked by the rapid modernization of Europe. Using personal narratives, she combines a powerfully human account of the war and its aft…
The Spanish Socialist Party in Power and the Government of Juan Negrín, 1937-9
The French and Spanish Popular Fronts
The menace of triumphant Nazism and fascism across Europe in the 1930s drove the left into unity with liberals, in order to make common cause against the extremist right. Popular Front initiatives were a significant attempt to bar the way to further fascist victories. This collection of essays focuses specifically on France and Spain as the only two countries where Popular Front coalitions won political power through the ballot box. From a compar…
