The Press and the Radio as Drawn by Children during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939)
Abstract
This study investigates the representation of the press and the radio in children’s drawings during the Spanish Civil War. After analysing 2,449 drawings, we found a sample of five. We used a descriptive methodology where we have taken into account the historiographical, artistic and psychological aspects. Therefore, in this research, we provide a new vision of the children’s look of the war and media. The children drew scenes where appeared the trench press, the business press, the press of political party and the influence of music broadcasted on the radio.Downloads
