Abstract

The article explores the relationship between history, heritage and memory, together with their respective treatments of the past, in the face of deindustrialization phenomena in Spain over the last half century. Focusing mainly on the working population of those regions of industrial tradition, it examines some knowledge gaps and raises the possibility of arguing for the recognition of the working class as a whole as an intangible industrial heritage.
