El 27 de mayo de 2011 el gobierno español nombró una comisión de 12 expertos para que elaborara recomendaciones destinadas a llevar a cabo la democratización de un monumento muy enrevesado y de difícil gestión simbólica, social, política o incluso religiosa, que sigue siendo a día de hoy el emblema más señalado del franquismo y contiene en su recinto un cementerio con más de 30.000 personas que incluye los cuerpos de Francisco Franco y José Antonio Primo de Rivera. Tomando como base las propuestas de transformación que se hicieron en el documento entregado al gobierno, muchas de las cuales no han trascendido todavía a la esfera pública, el Foro CCHS que se propone pretende contribuir -desde el mundo académico y con una perspectiva al tiempo crítica y autocrítica- a fomentar y profundizar el debate social sobre dicho monumento, sin paralelismo en el mundo en historia, simbología y escala.
Con esta iniciativa se trata fundamentalmente de contribuir a establecer unos referentes para discutir, imaginar y diseñar un futuro democrático, abierto y plural para el Valle como lugar de memoria, premisa fundamental para su transformación real ya sea a corto, medio o largo plazo. Para ello, se plantearán para el debate público aspectos clave de la historia y la simbología del Valle -entendidos como procesos- o las opciones que presenta el monumento en la actualidad -acompañar su ruina y derrumbe, preservación en su formato actual franquista, o profunda resignificación-, enfatizando las principales paradojas y limitaciones del proceso de democratización del monumento, así como de su potencial recorrido político en la España contemporánea. Como base para imaginar futuros de transformación posibles para un monumento de esta naturaleza, se plantearán además paralelismos y contrastes con los procesos memorialísticos, artísticos, sociales y políticos que desembocaron en actuaciones de una escala semejante a la propuesta por la Comisión en otros memoriales en otros lugares del mundo como mínimo igual de complejos, como pueden ser los de Hiroshima y Nagasaki o el de las víctimas del Holocausto de Berlín.
Roundtable participants: Reyes Mate (IFS-CCHS,CSIC), Francisco Ferrándiz (ILLA-CCHS, CSIC), Carme Molinero (Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona), Ricard Vinyes (Universidad de Barcelona)

he aim of the Conference is to create theoretical and conceptual bridges between the critical studies of space and the research on exception, violence and trauma. What kind of spatialities do authoritarian regimes generate and what are their effects on the daily experience of space? What consequences does the notion of camp, as nomos of the modern politics, have on our conception and experience of space? What are the localizations and effects of the archipelagos of exception upon contemporary geographies and how can we account for them? How are the spaces related to terror and exception represented and imagined in the cultural productions during and after terror regimes? What traces do State crimes leave on space and how can the so called post-traumatic architecture or the forensic architecture adequately inform of them? How do the philosophical definitions of ruin, crack and threshold help to think about these questions? And what spaces of resistance, justice or hope arise among these new cartographies of violence?
The conference will bring together researchers from Argentina, the Basque Country, Colombia, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Mexico, Israel, Poland Spain, Turkey and the USA.

Nowadays, the political science works about the mobilization of the victims have been rather developed. Unfortunately, these studies ignore most of the time the Spanish fact which should be considered as one of the fields of investigation more appropriate and fertile to deal with this subject. The “case of victims” which could be terrorism, civil war or Franco system consequences, has been present in fact in the Spanish public debate for years.
However in Spain the cause of victims haven’t been analysed itself but in a few occasions and sometimes it is connected with subjects as the historical memory and the justice. The scarce studies trying to isolate the subject of the collective associations of victims are dealt either from a point of view psychological or historical and having a tendency to forget the contribution of the social and politic sciences.
Nevertheless we consider urgent and necessary to contribute to analyse deeply the “cause of victims” in Spain – the way it was set up and the types of reply which have been given rise – such as it is noticed in the mobilizations around the terrorism, Franco system and the civil war and whose bet in politician it is more and more important in Spain nowadays.
In this way, this international and interdisciplinary symposium will meet sociologists, anthropologists, political researchers and historians who will try to compare systematically which it is noticed in Spain from other fields of European investigations (France, Italy, Ex-Yugoslavia, etc). Therefore the aim is to get to know why is special and important the Spanish case in the potential development of the feeling of “victimhood” in Europe during the XX and XXI centuries.
