The subaltern archive of women in the sumarísimos against anti-Francoist guerrillas

Abstract

This article proposes the consideration of a subaltern archive made up of certain documentary components of the records resulting from Franco's military judicial repression, the sumarísimos. In the first place, the hegemonic nature of the sumarísimos is demonstrated by explaining its general context and the documents controlled by the authorities that make them up. Next, we propose the autonomous examination of the oral statements or documents of the repressed people in order to detect the autonomous contents that could be attached to the file.
