Summer Course “Conflicting Memories: Spain, Germany and Austria”
Complutense University, El Escorial, July 16th to 20th, 2012
The memory of the dictatorial past plays an important role in political, social and artistic discourse in democratic states such as Spain, Germany and Austria. Throughout the complex process of remembering and forgetting, each of these countries faces its history in a particular way, whether Nazi Germany, the Austria of Austro-Fascism and annexation of the Third Reich or the Spain of the Civil War and Francoism.
