Franco’s repression on the railway

November 28, 2019

Madrid Railway Museum

 

This Railway Historical Memory Day has the purpose of deepening the historical knowledge of what Franco’s repression on the railway meant.

That is why it has brought together a group of accredited researchers with a double purpose. On the one hand, acrisolar the understanding of all repressive chapters. And, on the other, to speak about the analytical meaning and the social repercussion that the memoralist movement has generated during these last years. The only way to achieve these purposes is to organize a day that brings together different knowledge disciplines and different approaches. It is intended both to confirm paradigms and to open new lines of interpretation.

Miriam Saqqa will give the lecture: Where? Rail mass grave and exile.

Crime Scenes and Sites of Memory

Second International Conference on Perpetrators of Mass

 

12-15th November 2019

Centre Museístic La Beneficència, Valencia

 

Mass crimes, acts of genocide and political violence have a “metaphysical” dimension against the human being, as highlighted by such diverse authors as Elie Wiesel and Vladimir Jankélévitch. However, whatever their conceptual scope, they are concrete acts that take place in precise places, take place in a unique time and their material actors are, at the end of the day, ordinary people. Reconstructing the scenes that result from these acts means returning to the actions the immediacy and even the banality that they had at the time of their exercise. Now, once the facts have been reconstructed, these same scenarios acquire a new symbolic and cultural condition, they are resemantized in different social spheres: in the criminal processes that reconstruct them, in the memory of victims, executioners and witnesses, in the visual and written archives that describe them and, last but not least, in artistic, literary and cinematographic recreation.

Francisco Ferrándiz will give the conference: Scenarios of crime against humanity: Mass Graves, Forensic Rescue and Phantom Militarism in Spain

V International Congress of Anthropology AIBR

THINKING CULTURES CHANGING WORLDS

9 – 12 July, Madrid

 

 

Francisco Ferrándiz will close the V International Congress of Anthropology with a conference entitled “Exhume Francisco Franco? Ethnography of a descent to the depths of the Valley of the Fallen”.

Under the motto “THINKING CULTURES, CHANGING WORLDS”, AIBR celebrates its annual meeting in Madrid, from 9 to 12 July. This Congress poses the challenge of questioning the very concept of culture, which like any concept is limited by our values, structures, languages and criteria. Thinking cultures becomes a way of moving those limits. It is another way of understanding the world, of understanding the worlds and therefore of changing them.

On this occasion the AIBR Association has the collaboration of the Department of Social Anthropology and Spanish Philosophical Thought of the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) and the Research Group Anthropology, Diversity and Coexistence of the Complutense University of Madrid (UCM) as co-organizers. As in previous editions, the Congress will bring together students and professionals from all over the world who devote themselves to anthropological research in all its fields..

XXII Ankulegi Anthropology Conference (2019)

“Anthropology in the face of death”

San Sebastián, 12 April 2019

 

Zoé de Kerangat and Miriam Saqqa Carazo will take part in the XXII Ankulegi Anthropology Conference, “Anthropology in the face of death”, which will be held on 12 April at the San Telmo Museum in San Sebastián. The conference was organised by the Ankulegi association and the Department of Philosophy of Values and Social Anthropology of the University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU).

Death is present in all societies and times, although, like any biological and social process at the same time, it manifests itself in very different ways depending on the cultural and historical context. The XXII Ankulegi Anthropology Conference, linked to the exhibition “Heriotza. Ante la muerte”, organised by the San Telmo Museum, will focus this year on death and its multiple representations and meanings: How is death faced and how is it communicated? What form do funeral ceremonies and rituals take? What are the characteristics of the process of mourning, mourning or the search for meaning and recomposition after a death? What relationship do the living establish with corpses? How are the dead dismissed and how are the dead remembered? What is their presence in society (symbolic, ghostly, spiritual, festive)?
