Franco’s cultural exports. The role of “the spanishness” in the manipulation of the avant-garde
Keywords:
Franco regime, policy of openness, exploitation of the avant-garde, “the spanishness”.
Abstract
It is widely recognized that the Franco regime tried to approach the avant-garde during the 1950s and 60s in order to achieve the country’s necessary modernization and liberalization. Once we have introduced this manipulation of the avant-garde by the Franco regime in our historiographical discourse, we may think about the possibility that there are some stereotypes within that version of the story. This article intends to contribute to that kind of re-reading by studying the matter from the specific point of view of “the spanishness”.Format
