KWON, H (2013): Ghosts of War in Vietnam

This is a fascinating study of the Vietnamese experience and memory of the Vietnam War through the lens of popular imaginings about the wandering souls of the war dead. These ghosts of war play an important part in postwar Vietnamese historical narrative and imagination and Heonik Kwon explores the intimate ritual ties with these unsettled identities which still survive in Vietnam today as well as the actions of those who hope to liberate these hidden but vital historical presences from their uprooted social existence.

DEL RÍO, Á.; ESPINOSA, F. Y TIRADO, J.L. (2013) El caso Rocío. La historia de una película secuestrada por la transición

ROCÍO ha pasado a la historia como la primera película secuestrada judicialmente en España tras la derogación de la censura cinematográfica en 1977. Dirigida por Fernando Ruiz Vergara, con guión y producción de Ana Vila, y estrenada en 1980, a día de hoy continúa censurada por la sentencia vigente del Tribunal Supremo de 1984 que condenaba a su autor por delitos de injurias a quien la película apuntaba como cabecilla de la brutal represión en el pueblo de Almonte, cuna de la Romería de la Virgen del Rocío, durante el golpe militar de 1936.
