Abstract

The Spanish Civil War is remembered in many ways. Vehicles of memory are often material and include ruins, monuments and museums, which are all amenable to archaeological scrutiny. In the present chapter, I am particularly interested in museums. Unlike in other countries, Spain has consistently failed to have proper museums of the conflict managed by the State. The gap is filled by private and local initiatives. Here, I examine, from an archaeological perspective, a variety of small war museums in different parts of Spain. My point is that all such projects entail important problems regarding the story of the Civil War that is being told. Lacking a master narrative to which they can refer, they deploy their own accounts, which either whitewash history or reproduce stereotypes, often inherited from the dictatorship. These narratives, I argue, are more ethnographic than historical and explain the war in antipolitical terms, thus failing to capture its meaning and consequences.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
