Od pola bitewnego do obozu pracy : archeologia wojny domowej i dyktatury w Hiszpanii = From the battlefield to the labour camp : archaeology of Civil War and dictatorship in Spain

Abstract

The author explores responses to political violence through the materiality of three aspects of the Civil War in Spain: military lines in the battle for Madrid, a concentration camp in Extremadura and a remote settlement of forced labourers and their families. He shows how archaeology’s revelations reflect, qualify and enrich the story of human survival under the pall cast by a dictatorship. Sharing the inquiry with the public of today also revealed some of the disquieting mechanisms by which history is composed and how archaeology can be used to deconstruct it
