El paisaje ausente: por una arqueología de la guerrilla antifranquista en Galicia

Abstract

On April 20 1949, the Santiago Carrillo dettachment of the 2nd Group of the Galician Guerrilla Army was besieged by the Civil Guard in two houses of the Chavaga parish (Monforte de Lemos, Lugo). This was the beginning of the end for the guerrilla in this part of Galicia. Through archaeology, we try to recover the absent landscape of the anti-Francoist guerrilla and study the present landscape, established by Francoism in the countryside. This is the landscape in which the local community was socialized in the immediate postwar period. Our research inteds, on the one hand, to overcome the silence imposed by the trauma of the repression, and, on the other hand, to recover forgotten spaces as true places of collective memory.
