Literature and the Cultural Memory of the Spanish Civil War HISTORY 451E (Literature and History/World/Comparative): LITERATURE AND THE CULTURAL MEMORY OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR Professor Vina Lanzona Department of History, University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa Study Abroad Program in Spain, Fall 2019, International College of Seville Seminar Schedule: Wednesdays, 9:30am-12:00pm Office and Consultation Hours: Wednesday: 12:00-2:00pm Course Description: Present day Spain is once again in the midst of political turmoil with Madrid’s refusal to listen to and recognize the demands for independence by the region of Catalonia. Not too long ago, from 1936-1939, Spain was fighting a civil war, still considered as the most significant, and the bloodiest, period in the modern history of Spain. The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) was marked by a bitter struggle for power between Nationalists (led by General Franco)—composed of Roman Catholics, factions in the military, landowners and businessmen—and Republicans— composed mostly of urban workers, agricultural laborers, and many of the educated middle class. Set against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in Europe, the Nationalists were supported by the fascist governments of Germany and Italy, while the Republicans received help from France and the Soviet Union. Indeed, the political and emotional reverberations of the war transcended national boundaries, as the Spanish Civil War became during the late 1930s the site of genuinely international conflict between dictatorship and democracy. In Spain, the war resulted in about a million deaths and years of national evasion and denial which are only now coming to an end. The Spanish Civil War engaged not only the military and politicians, but also artists, poets, writers, activists and intellectuals, many of whom participated in the war and produced profound and dramatic works of art and literature. In this course, we will read the moving poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca, Antonio Machado and Pablo Neruda, deconstruct the majestic painting of “Guernica” by Pablo Picasso, and follow the lives and works of non-Spanish fellow travelers like George Orwell, John Dos Passos, and Ernest Hemingway. Through their works, we will examine the interrelationships between history and literature, including how literature reflects and shapes society, the effects of history on literature, and the effects of literature on historical memory. Finally, we will trace the way contemporary debate about the Spanish Civil War continues to shape Spanish society. Seville was one of the first provinces to fall under General Franco’s Nationalist forces leading to the false impression that much of the population supported fascism. But this is arguable, and all over the city, you could still see traces of the war and the divisiveness it has caused the people of Seville. There is the memorial dedicated to those who fought for the Republic in the Old “Muralla” and then the disturbing tombstone in the Church of La Virgen Macarena dedicated to Quiepo de Lleno, one of Franco’s generals. Part of our course in our Study Abroad program is to find people who had memories of the war and reflect on their thoughts and experiences, and to explore various “traces” of the war in order to understand how the people of Seville had come to terms with the war, while still remaining divided over its memory. 1 Student Learning Outcomes: Students who successfully complete this course will: 1. Identify crucial developments in the Spanish civil war, one of the most painful episodes in the history of modern Spain through the discussion of significant events and issues, and different renditions of the event by writers, poets, artists and other witnesses. 2. Articulate past and current critical issues and debates about the legacy of the Spanish civil war. They will, therefore, acquire improved historical knowledge of Spain’s past and should be able to apply this knowledge to understanding current issues and events in contemporary Spain. 3. Demonstrate skills in critical thinking and historical interpretation through close readings of both primary and secondary texts. They will, therefore, acquire proficiency in working with and interpreting primary and secondary sources. They will also be able to provide summaries and analysis of materials and therefore demonstrate their writing and oral skills through essays, presentations and other assignments. 4. Exhibit some basic familiarity with Spanish language and culture through conversational exercises and journal entries about daily experiences in Spain. They will, therefore, immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of Seville and Spain. 5. By living and studying in Seville, students have the unique opportunity to see how “history comes alive” and gain a deeper appreciation of how history shapes contemporary societies. Requirements: Students from diverse backgrounds are welcome and no previous knowledge of the subject is required. The purpose of the Study Abroad is to familiarize and open ourselves to the surroundings and history of Seville and modern Spain. Requirements in this course are therefore flexible and grades for the course will be centered around essays reflecting on the assigned books, as well as a journal of the student’s weekly reflections on the history of and their experiences in Spain. Grades in the class will be based on the following: 1. Five Short Essays (3-5 pages) 50 points --Choose 5 out of the 6 required books 2. Final Paper (10-15 pages) 20 points 3. Oral Presentation/s 10 points 3. Weekly Journal in Spain 10 points 4. Attendance, participation and discussion 10 points TOTAL: 100 points 2 Each student is required to write four review essays discussing four out of the five required books and readings. These essays should be submitted on the date specified on the syllabus. Students are expected to read all the required books and make 1-2 presentations in class during the semester. Instructions for the Final Paper will be distributed during the first weeks of the semester. Writing Feedback: The instructor will consistently put comments on the student’s papers and will meet regularly with students to give them feedback on their writing. At any time, students can approach the instructor for advice on how to improve their writing. For the final paper, the student will first give the instructor a rough draft. The instructor will give comments on the draft and meet with students for feedback. Students will then submit a final draft that incorporates the instructors’ feedback.

RivetingBy Alan C. JasperA story that needed to be told this well, written with a clarity of both language and intent. The narrative follows a timeline and pays respect to, without blindly fawning over the idealism of the Lincoln Brigade. At the same time, it frankly acknowledges the snakes in the garden of Stalin's international communism, though the author does not delve into its political theory or elucidate its "road to serfdom." The perfidy of Franco, of the Nationalist fascists and of their civilian, ecclesiastic and foreign supporters is on the other hand well described.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A compelling work of literatureBy Jack WendelkenI knew very little about the Spanish Civil war. Although I had read many books about World War One and Two,I'll admit to being somewhat clueless about this war.

London Review of Books. For them, the Spanish Civil War is simply an old event of easy judgment. Another startling thing is the raging idealism the International Corps who fought against Franco exuded. It is written with the usual Hoschild flair for combining history with storytelling: as it is told through the perspective of a number of American and English men and women who traveled or fought in Spain during the war, an otherwise chronological and rather complete history of the conflict becomes very accessible to readers, especially non-Spanish ones. As Spain in Spain in Our Hearts Americans in the Spanish Civil War Hearts notes, nearly 40, foreigners dodged the international non-intervention Spain in Our Hearts Americans in the Spanish Civil War and journeyed to Spain to fight on the Republican side. This did not stop the hundreds of American and several other nationalities from joining the Republicans to fight the fascists. Herbert L. Hochschild is particularly good in his denunciations of the vile Torkild Rieber, the Norwegian American who headed up Texaco Oil and supported the Nazis and Fascists throughout the s. These things make Spain of the s, a crucial battleground of its time, a resonant one for ours as well. Ernest Hemingway too puts in several appearances, handled deftly.

    54 Teaching History | Volume 43, No. 2 | Fall 2018 Adam Hochschild. Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939. Boston, MA: Houghton Mifflin, 2016. Pp. 438. $15.99. In October 1938, over 300,000 Spaniards lined the streets of Barcelona to honor two hundred Americans and other survivors of the International Brigades who had fought in the Spanish Civil War. The soldiers and nurses were part of the roughly 2,800 Americans who, in the midst of the Great Depression, defied the U.S. government and volunteered to support the Republican struggle against the military uprising of General Francisco Franco and the Nationalists. In Spain in Our Hearts: Americans in the Spanish Civil War, 1936-1939, Adam Hochschild chronicles the experiences of American volunteers and journalists in Spain on the eve of the Second World War. Combined with leftists from countries such as Canada, Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union, the Americans faced inadequate training and supplies as well as a savage civil war in which the Nationalists relied on significant military support from Nazi Germany and fascist Italy. The result was Franco’s victory in 1939, unprecedented casualty rates for American soldiers, and, despite the cheering crowds in Barcelona and cries that the “crusaders for freedom” would never be forgotten, a poignant anti-fascist effort by Americans that remains largely missing from dominant historical accounts centered on World War II (337). Hochschild’s engaging narrative includes familiar characters such as Ernest Hemingway, George Orwell, and Pablo Picasso, whose role in the Spanish Civil War often blurred the line between journalism, art, and combatant.

The revolt caught the government off-guard; the rebellion swept across mainland Spain through provincial garrison revolts and, due to fact that the military led the uprising, it left the Republic with no soldiers, a destroyed command structure, and an environment of paranoia concerning which officers the government could trust.1 The divide between the rebel-held areas and the government held areas were largely along ideological lines.

ONE PENINSULA, MANY SPAINS: AN INQUIRY ON MEMORY, HISTORIOGRAPHY, AND THE LEGACY OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR FROM 1930 TO THE PRESENT By: Adrian Rios Advisor: Jason Crouthamel HNR 499 Abstract: In this essay, I analyze the events of the Spanish Civil War and their ramifications through the lens of cultural memory and historiography. I argue that ideas of memory are crucial to how societies and individuals understand history and that the Spanish Civil War had a tremendous impact on the Spanish people and significantly affected the memory not only of witnesses of the conflict, but to their descendants. This essay utilizes primary and secondary sources to understand the function of memory and varied responses to the Spanish Civil War.
