| Title | Remembering and Forgetting Franco: The Evolution of Historical Memory in Spain, A Public History Podcast |
| Summary | Podcasting, an extremely popular medium with great educational potential, is largely underused in academia, especially in the field of Iberian Studies. This project experiments with ‘audio academia,’ using the medium of podcasting as an entertaining, yet informative method of disseminating historical research to the public. It investigates four distinct periods of ‘memory formation’ in Spanish modern history from 1936 to the present: the Spanish Civil War, the authoritarian regime of Francisco Franco, the transition to democracy, and the ‘memory boom.’ It attempts to discover and explain how national historical narratives and collective memories have been created, sustained, challenged, and changed over time. With the integration of familial oral testimonies into the podcast episodes, the interplay of memory and history is not just a theme of the project but functions as a practice. |
