Abstract

Francoist violence and repression during the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship (1936–1975) have left many voids in the narrative of the period. This article addresses the imbalance between how the Francoist victors and the defeated Republicans are remembered by providing an account that builds on the material lacunae in the places where officially “nothing happened” during this period. Through concepts of transgression – such as non-absence, ghosts and the abject – I explore the materiality and the material memory left at two sites in particular: the House of Horrors in Arévalo, and Little Russia in Belchite. The resulting narrative reveals how absence and silence materialise as structures of violence and instruments of repression. I argue that to approach these materialisations, a broader understanding is needed of the archaeological assemblage and of what is conventionally accepted as archaeological knowledge.
什么都没发生的地方
在西班牙内战和独裁统治(1936-1975)期间,弗朗哥的暴力和镇压给那段时期的叙述留下了许多空白。这篇文章针对弗朗哥主义的胜利者和被击败的共和党人如何被记住的不平衡,提供了一个建立在这一时期官方“什么都没发生”的地方的物质空白上的叙述。通过越界的概念——如不存在、幽灵和卑下——我探索了物质性和物质记忆,特别是在两个地点:arsamuvalo的恐怖之家和Belchite的小俄罗斯。由此产生的叙述揭示了缺席和沉默是如何成为暴力结构和镇压工具的。我认为,要接近这些物化,需要对考古组合和传统上被接受为考古知识的东西有更广泛的了解。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Contemporary Archaeology is the first dedicated, international, peer-reviewed journal to explore archaeology’s specific contribution to understanding the present and recent past. It is concerned both with archaeologies of the contemporary world, defined temporally as belonging to the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries, as well as with reflections on the socio-political implications of doing archaeology in the contemporary world. In addition to its focus on archaeology, JCA encourages articles from a range of adjacent disciplines which consider recent and contemporary material-cultural entanglements, including anthropology, art history, cultural studies, design studies, heritage studies, history, human geography, media studies, museum studies, psychology, science and technology studies and sociology. Acknowledging the key place which photography and digital media have come to occupy within this emerging subfield, JCA includes a regular photo essay feature and provides space for the publication of interactive, web-only content on its website.
