Stephanie Golob

Stephanie R. Golob is Associate Professor of Political Science at Baruch College, City University of New York (CUNY).  Her research centers on the impact of globalization on state sovereignty, focusing on the “domestication” of international legal norms through transformations in national legal culture.  Specifically, her work investigates the impact and local appropriation of transnationalized “anti-impunity” norms – propagated via the Pinochet Case and other cases such as Schilingo and Barrios Altos —  within the legal communities and civil societies in countries such as Chile and Spain, whose democratic transitions in past decades were not accompanied by “transitional justice.” Her two-part essay on the Pinochet Case was awarded a Frank Cass Prize from the journal Democratization in 2002, and in 2006-07 she held an Andrew W. Mellon Resident Fellowship at the Center for the Humanities at the CUNY Graduate Center to develop research on the legal-cultural legacy of strategies of legalization and retrospective justice employed by the Franco regime.  More recent publications include Volver:  The Return of/to Transitional Justice Politics in Contemporary Spain (Journal of Spanish Cultural Studies, 2008); and Evolution or Revolution?  Transitional Justice Culture Across Borders (Institute for Public Goods and Policy Working Paper, CCHS, CSIS, June 2010).  She is currently writing a book provisionally titled, The Long Arm of the Law: Legal Culture, Globalized Norms, and the Anti-Impunity Revolution.

Germán Labrador Méndez

/0 Comments

Germán Labrador Méndez (Vigo, 1980) is an Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Princeton University since 2008. His interests span various fields and encompass literary and cultural history, memory studies, poetry, social movements, and urban cultures. His primary area of research is Modern and Contemporary Spain. Before arriving at Princeton, he taught at the Universidad de Salamanca and later at the Universität Hamburg.

His first book, Letras arrebatadas, Poesía y química en la transición española [Raptured Letters: Chemical Poetry during the Spanish Transition to Democracy], studies how a forgotten group of Spanish underground poets used drugged literature in the symbolization of the historical experience of their generation, from the psychedelic utopias of 1968 to the deadly spread of heroine consumption in the 1980s. His second book, Culpables por la literatura. Imaginación política y contracultura en la transición española [Guilty of Literature. Political Imagination and Counter-Culture in the Spanish Transition to Democracy](1968-1984) (Siglo XXI, forthcoming), analyzes the attempts on the part of Spanish countercultures to exceed low intensity post-Francoist democracy through bio-literature and activism in the 1970s.

He is currently editing an anthology of works by anti-Francoist poets, Muerto el perro, se acabó la rabia. 25 poetas underground de la transición española (Acuarela & Antonio Machado Libros), and a critical edition of José Luis Hidalgo’s book Los muertos (Devenir), a collection of poems denouncing the existence of Francoist mass graves published during the dictatorship. His investigations in progress include two book projects. The first is The Cultural Production of the Crisis in Today’s Spain (2008-2013), devoted to understanding how popular culture can enter into political confrontation and exercise resistance when, as J. Butler writes, life becomes precarious, and the second is a study of the state’s memorial politics during the Restoration and the birth of the Second Republic, in relation to social engineering but also to political disobedience. It is tentatively titled If Even Statues Do not Stand. Iconoclasm, Monumentalism, Education and Political Subjection in Pre-War Spain (1868-1936).

Laura Langa Martínez

Laura Langa holds a degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Complutense University of Madrid and a Master’s Degree in Public Orientation Anthropology from the Autonomous University of Madrid. Since 2016 she is a predoctoral researcher at ILLA-CSIC (with an FPU contract funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports) and a PhD candidate in Human Sciences at the Autonomous University of Madrid. Her doctoral thesis work focuses on analyzing the effects of post-conflict institutions, whether economic, symbolic, memorial, funerary, etc., on the Colombian population, and the dynamics that the communities themselves develop to coexist with the daily effects of the violence, when producing different exchanges, transformations, resistances and accommodations. Her proposal therefore raises two levels of approach to reality, on the one hand the analysis of institutional practices and on the other its resonance in the daily dynamics of communities, since what is intended to know are the processes experienced.

Previously, she worked as a researcher at the Institute of Studies on Conflicts and Humanitarian Action, IECAH, with which she continues to collaborate. She has conducted several previous investigations regarding cooperation with the indigenous peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean (Luis Miguel Puerto Research Prize) and humanitarian practices in the Saharawi refugee camps, both investigations have been published. Since 2017 she is part of the Editorial Board of the Anthropology Journal of Public Guidance published by the Autonomous University of Madrid.

She has taught university at the Complutense University of Madrid, the Autonomous University of Madrid, the University of Medellín and the graduate programs of the Ortega y Gasset Foundation. In 2017, she conducted a three-month research stay, funded by the MECD, in the Conflict and Peace research group at the University of Medellin.
