Abstract

From 1936 to 1939, Spain constitutes a per se phenomenon that, even though it has been copiously analyzed, lacks of a study that delves into the inspiring myths of the mass-slaughter and different forms of Revolution that took place through these years, as well as the worldviews to which the myths make reference. For building such a study it is proposed a semiotic lecture of the worldview’s imagery based upon its socio-cultural products, being these considered as signs of a language whose decoding will reveal those worldview’s original models.
