DE ALGÚN TIEMPO A ESTA PARTE ■ At Washington Hall, Room 201, William & Mary College. ■ By Max Aub. Cast: Esther Lázaro. De algún tiempo a esta parte chronicles the harrowing experience of a Jewish woman in the Vienna of 1938, before the onset of World War II. Emma, the protagonist, talks to her dead husband and tells him how she has become a victim and spectator of the changes that have been taking place, while at the same time recalling other happier times with him and their son Samuel. Written in 1939 by the exiled Spanish author Max Aub, De algún tiempo a esta parte is considered one of the best monologues written in the 20th century. It is a profound denunciation of intolerance and the ideologies that lead to the exclusion of the “other.” Spanish actress and researcher Esther Lázaro has masterfully adapted and played Aub’s monologue in the theaters of Barcelona, Madrid, Mexico City, Paris, and Vienna, among others.

Abrir Capítulo V Tomo 1 Capítulo ‘Vi
ABRIR CAPÍTULO V TOMO 1 CAPÍTULO ‘VI ANÁLISIS PORMENORIZADO DE LA BIOGRAFÍA DE UN ARTISTA Escrita por Max Aub en México y publicada en 1958, no puede entenderse esta obra aislada del resto de su producción, desde a joven Luis Alvarez Petreña (19321) hasta el último Correo de Euclides de 1971 o el libro Buñuel, novela que preparaba y no llegó a terminar. Estas relaciones, tratadas en otros capítulos de nuestro trabajo con mayor amplitud, emergen aquí ineludiblemente, al igual que las huellas de su autor, Max Aub y el mundo que le tocó vivir. En la novela estudiada Max Aub se propone escribir la biografía de un artista, a la manera de una monografía de arte, siguiendo una estructura de siete partes (como en Campo del moro), que describen el ambiente, vida y obra del personaje. Jusep Torres Campalans nace en España, en Mollerusa, en 1886, catalanista, ca- tólico, anarquista, en suma hijo de la época, se emparenta con la generación de 1898, la misma de Picasso. 1. Publicada primero por entregas en Azor, núm. ~ a 17, Barcelona, octubre 1932 a febrero 1934. 456 Recordemos brevemente su historia: Campalans, que conoce a Picasso en Barcelona siendo apenas un joven adolescen- te, acaba en París, como aquél, participando en las mismas aventuras pictóricas *0 que se desarrollan en esos años en la meca por excelencia del arte moderno. Como artista pasa sucesivamente por distintas etapas, primero impresionista, después fauvista, cubista, e incluso abstracto, acabando su ciclo vital artístico con una crisis que coincide con la pérdida de ilusiones que representa la guerra de 1914, fecha dada como muerte del cubismo por algunos autores, por ejemplo por Romero Brest, básico en la documentación de Max Aub.

Voices from Beyond the Grave: Remembering the Civil War in the Work of Max Aub1
© 8 Voices from Beyond the Grave: Remembering the Civil War in the Work of Max Aub1 Eric Dickey Cuantas iniciativas vayan encaminadas a recuperar la memoria del exilio literario español de 1939 deberían ser saludadas no sólo por contribuir a rescatar del olvido una parcela importante de nuestra cultura, sino porque constituyen un signo saludable de justicia histórica y de normalidad democrática. —Javier Quiñones, El País (n.p) (The initiatives directed toward the recovery of the memory of Spanish literary exile in 1939 should be welcomed not only for helping to rescue from oblivion an important parcel of our culture, but because they are a healthy sign of historical justice and democratic normality.) (Re)Discovering Max Aub In his induction speech into the Real Academia Española, Antonio Muñoz Molina stated that literature is the possibility of a wonderful dialogue not only between generations, but also between the living and the dead. Post- Franco culture has been haunted by the reappearance of the dead, or ghosts, who represent not only the repressed memories of the past shut out by the official discourse of the State, but also serve as an incarnation of the past in the present. Their presence is a warning to society that in order to move forward, one must first confront the unresolved issues of the past, for to deny the existence of these ghosts is to deny History. “Literature time,” as Muñoz Memory and Its Discontents: Spanish Culture in the Early Twenty-First Century Hispanic Issues On Line 11 (2012) DICKEY♦ 158 Molina calls it, embodies a symbolic space that goes beyond the individual, transitory experiences of life, and through memory keeps the past alive.

Pablo Picasso Guernica(1937)
Pablo Picasso Guernica (1937) Pablo Picasso painted Guernica at the request of the Republican government for the Spanish Pavilion at the 1937 Paris International Exhibition. The work is a testimony and condemnation of the bombing of the Basque town of Guernica’s population by the Luftwaffe, who were allied to the rebels, and is considered a fundamental work of 20th Century art, remaining a universal symbol of the fight against oppression. April 26, 1937. On that day, planes of the Condor Legion of the German air force, in aid of the rebel troops beneath the com- mand of General Franco, launched incen- diary bombs against Guernica, a key city in the Basque political tradition. Some foreign press correspondents covering the happenings on the northern front of the war were in Bilbao. The very day of the bombing, they moved to Guernica, gathe- ring the images and testimonies which would reach the international press the following day and affect the entire world. The news of the attack on a non-military An icon of the Spanish Civil War, of worldwide anti-war sentiment and of the fight for enclave with a civil population made up freedom, Guernica is one of the most emblematic images of the contemporary world principally of women and children spread and the last great painting of history of the European tradition. Converted into a uni- throughout Europe, causing the traditional versal symbol of indiscriminate massacres wherever they occur, it carries an implicit manifestation on May 1 in defense of labor message of resistance to authoritarianism and against the rise of the fascisms in the to become a show of solidarity and aid for Europe of that moment, which it conveys through an iconography whose meaning has Spain.

Narratives of Spanish Exile in Mexico by Simón Otaola and Max Aub
Navigating Ambiguity: Narratives of Spanish Exile in Mexico by Simón Otaola and Max Aub Kyle E. Lawton Saint Catherine University Minneapolis Community and Technical College Abstract: The exile of Republicans after the Civil War of 1936-1939 represented the largest migration of Spaniards since the Conquest. Contemporaneous with other mass refugee movements, these émigrés initially posited Spanish national identity as an ideal that was not only transplantable abroad through their literary and cultural productions but also their exclusive purview. In contrast, Spain was seen as a cultural wasteland and therefore no longer truly “Spanish.” However, quickly this ideal of national identity as definable through exile works faced significant obstacles. My paper examines how the de facto acceptance of the Franco regime and the exiles’ isolation from both Spanish and Mexican audiences challenged these discourses of defending an authentic version of Spanish national identity from abroad. I explore these ideas through close readings of La librería de Arana by Simón Otaola and several short stories by Max Aub in La verdadera historia de la muerte de Francisco Franco and Cuentos mexicanos (con pilón). Keywords: Spanish Civil War – Exile – México – Max Aub – Simón Otaola – National Identity. n a speech delivered at the Colegio de México commemorating the 80th anniversary of the arrival of Spanish exiles to Mexico in 1939, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez twice emphasized the importance of not romanticizing I a phenomenon that he referred to as “abominable siempre.” Even so, Sánchez could not avoid evoking an old and romanticized trope of Spanish exile discourse: the idea that Spaniards arriving to Mexico had little or no difficulty adapting to life there.

THE WOUND COVERED in SAND Thousands of Spanish Republicans
THE WOUND COVERED IN SAND Thousands of Spanish Republicans exiled from Alicante to Algeria at the end of the Civil War were confined in concentration camps Alicante, 27 March (EFE).- Eighty years ago, in the last days of March 1939, the Second Spanish Republic was approaching death in two ports, those of Alicante and Oran. On the quaysides of Alicante at least 15,000 people piled up, almost all of them men, desperate to leave the last soil that remained of Republican Spain. The government in exile had chartered British and French cargo ships, but the rebels’ navy was lying in wait and there were hardly any captains willing to risk it for the vanquished. At around 11 pm on 28 March the Stanbrook, a British collier, set sail. The captain, Archibald Dickson, had authorised some 3,000 passengers to board, many more than his old ship – 70 metres long by 10 metres wide – could carry without risk. A few minutes past midnight the Maritime, the last boat out of Alicante, departed with just 30 or so Republican officials. After that, no more evacuation ships entered the port, besieged by Italian and Falangist vessels. On the quaysides, everyone feared the revenge of the victors. As of the morning that the Stanbrook began to load, they knew that Madrid had surrendered, the war was definitively lost and the passing of the hours accentuated the drama in that rattrap. Dozens committed suicide from despair and thousands hoped against hope for miraculous ships, “sitting in front of the horizontal wall of the sea,” as Max Aub described it in Campo de los almendros (The Almond Grove).

I’m also immensely indebted to the History department for their Senior Thesis Fellowship for Research in European Archives, which gave me the opportunity to spend six weeks studying archives in Spain and France and made it possible for me to write this thesis in the first place. The feedback of Professor Dodman, Professor Coleman, and all of the other participants in the Paris workshop was immensely helpful to me as I worked through my archival material and further refined the focus of my thesis. Professor Carlebach, my seminar advisor in the fall semester, helped me to think more about the historiographical stakes of my topic, placing me in a much better position to write the initial draft.

Una Propuesta Artística. (2020) Directed by Dr
ACOSTA, GRETEL, M.A. Jusep Torres Campalans: una propuesta artística. (2020) Directed by Dr. Carmen T. Sotomayor. 88 pp. El propósito de esta investigación es defender la pertenencia de Jusep Torres Campalans (1958), de Max Aub, al terreno de las propuestas artísticas, asumiéndolo como una pieza que excede con creces los límites de la novela, siendo esta uno de sus componentes. Los abundantes estudios sobre Jusep Torres Campalans (JTC) desde el terreno de lo literario se han enfocado precisamente en la novela, a diferencia de nuestra perspectiva. Consideramos que son también parte de JTC todo el simulacro artístico ideado por Aub y sus cómplices: la estructura de la novela a modo de libro de artista, el lanzamiento del libro en la exposición de Campalans en Galerías Excélsior, como investigación acompañante; la campaña publicitaria de la exposición desarrollada desde un mes antes de la apertura de la muestra; el ocultamiento de la “autoría” de las piezas; la venta de las mismas; la colección de textos apócrifos de grandes personalidades mexicanas sobre la obra de Campalans que circulan; la presentación de JTC en París de la mano de Jean Cassou; y la exposición en Nueva York. Desde la crítica literaria estos elementos pertenecientes al “mundo del arte” han sido entendidos como “mito”, “broma” y “juego”1. Debemos señalar la excepción del valenciano José María de Luermo Jareño, un referente fundamental de esta investigación quien en su texto “No lo suelen llamar arte, pero lo es…” defiende el “insólito estatuto formal” de JTC: “Que Aub inaugura una nueva posición dentro del campo de fuerzas 1 Como se verá en los capítulos III y IV.
