To mark the 70th year since the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939 the Department of Hispanic Studies, University of Dublin, Trinity College, in collaboration with the Instituto Cervantes, Dublin, is organizing an International Conference. It aims to bring together a wide range of experts to explore the events of that time from an interdisciplinary perspective, with a particular focus not only on the wider implications of Franco’s victory but also on how the forces of power moved ordinary lives to extraordinary degrees.
PROGRAMME: Plenary sessions, papers, and round tables

Topics could range across:
Triumphalism (republican and
nationalist)
International reactions
Responses of intellectuals, writers, and
artists
Terror, repression, and violence
The reestablishment of order
Refugees
Experiences of exile
Surviving daily life
