EL BAÑO DEL MINISTRO Y EL EMBAJADOR: FRAGA Y DUKE EN PALOMARES, 1966
Abstract
This essayʼs thesis concerns the transformation of Franco’s regime from the beginnings of the 1960ʼs towards a form of governmentality premised on contemporary biopolitics. This transformation finds its most precise articulation in the emerging importance of the Ministry of Information and Tourism under Manuel Fraga Iribarne, and its partial substitution and relegation of the General Secretary of the Movement. The Palomares episode is crucial to understand the biopolitical function of the new ministry. This essays pays suitable attention to one of its protagonists, US Ambassador Duke.Downloads
