  1. Memory at Work: When Fiction Pervades History. Julie Samit, University of Miami

    When history comes to be told, thought of, or even imagined, it always confronts fictionalization, even more when this history deals with the split of a “national self” through a civil war.

  2. Theatrical Representations of Totalitarianism in Post-Francoist Spain. Vilma Navarro-Daniels, Washington State University

    My presentation deals with Paloma Pedrero's theatrical representations of neo-Nazi juvenile groups that came forth in Spain during the 1990s. My analysis bridges social sciences, philosophy, and literary studies.

  3. The Diaspora Flamenquista: New-Nationalism of Flamenco in and out of Post-Francoist Spain. Marion Hart, University of California, Irvine

    Although flamenco is ichnographicaly linked with Spain, the globalization (diaspora) of flamenco affords a new consideration of nationalism. The cult of flamenco creates a pseudo-nation, one that is oriented with the production of an imaginary nationality through the consecration of a geographical and cultural space.
