The Spanish Civil War and its consequences: representations of childhood repression throught cinema (2000-2019)
Abstract
The legacy of the dramatic conflict of the Spanish Civil War left a deep mark on the younger generations in Spain. This research on the forms of repression against Spanish children as a result of the conflict has been carried out through the study of cinematographic representations, understanding cinema as a historical social and cultural document. To this end, several films have been selected, classified and analyzed as case studies that specifically illustrate themes and forms of repression against children and adolescents. The study has used a mixed methodology and content analysis to identify a number of key aspects regarding the representation of physical, psychological and moral violence in this context.
