Conspiracy, Coup D'état and Civil War in Seville
The London School of Economics and Political Science Conspiracy, coup d’état and civil war in Seville (1936-1939): History and myth in Francoist Spain Rúben Emanuel Leitão Prazeres Serém A thesis submitted to the Department of International History of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, November 2012 1 Declaration I, Ruben Emanuel Leitão Prazeres Serém, hereby declare that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others. The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I declare that my thesis consists of 105,340 words. 2 Abstract This thesis deconstructs the bases of enduring Francoist myth that General Queipo de Llano heroically conquered Seville with a handful of soldiers. Having established the full ramifications of that conquest, it goes on to assess the political, social, economic and cultural implications of the Spanish Civil War in Seville, the largest urban centre to fall to the military rebels at the beginning of the conflict. Chapter I examines the nature and infrastructure of the military conspiracy against the democratic Republic developed in response to the Popular Front electoral victory of February 1936. Chapter II scrutinises the career of General Queipo, in particular his metamorphosis from a marginal figure in the conspiracy into a rebel secular saint. -

Houwen May 11, 2016 Contents A cinema of resistance: An Introduction 3 Part I Crusading Cinema 1 The onset of censorship and the propaganda machinery: the fascist myth of race and the evil communism in José Luis Sáenz de Heredia’s films 17 Part II Subversive cinematographic practices 2 José Antonio Nieves Conde: a Falangist voicing dissident 39 3 Dissident voices: the subversive comedies of Luis García Berlanga and Juan Antonio Bardem, and the Salamanca Conversations 59 Conclusions 83 Works Cited 89 A cinema of resistance: An Introduction There is a need for censorship; I say it and repeat it, even in a moment where it would be more popular to claim the opposite in certain media. There is a need [for censorship] because cinema is meant for the masses (…). Classifying, forbidding, or in other words: censoring, it is the logical consequence of the potential hazards of cinema. (45)1 —José María García Escudero (1962) Ever since its inception cinema has been – especially in totalitarian societies – subject to state control, both in terms of censorship and propaganda. Official censorship has existed since the dawn of cinema until well into modern democracies. In the case of Spain the earliest controls were regarding moral aspects and date back to 1913, when a Civil Governor denied public exhibition rights to films that offended public morality (D’Lugo, “Film and censorship” 677).
