Diccionario de símbolos políticos y sociales del siglo XX español

How have democracy, the future or the idea of ??Spain been represented throughout the last century? Where did the cries of They will not pass! and ¡Arriba Spain! or the republican tricolor flag? What are the symbolic attributes of globalization or feminism? What socialist politician did it occur to him that the yoke and the arrows had to be the symbol of Spanish fascism? This Dictionary of political and social symbols, directed by professors Juan Francisco Fuentes and José Carlos Rueda Laffond, answers these and other questions about the history of political symbolism in contemporary Spain, in many cases reaching our days. The hundred voices it contains are conceived as small essays on this set of images, allegories and myths and on their ability to mobilize large social masses in the struggles of our recent history. From emblematic dates, such as 98, April 14 or 15-M, to places steeped in history and memory, such as Puerta del Sol in Madrid, the Valley of the Fallen, Guernica or Paracuellos, the Dictionary offers a detailed and a documented inventory of the symbols that have shaped the collective imagination of Spaniards in recent generations.
