Abstract
Esta Tesis doctoral aborda las relaciones entre violencia política y arte/cultura visual en la España contemporánea, en el periodo que ocupan la Dictadura de Primo de Rivera (1923-1930) y el final de la era conocida como primer franquismo (1939-1959). La vivencia de la represión –en sus más variadas formas– desde el arte es, en todo caso, el principal hilo conductor de esta investigación. De forma particular, los asuntos que en ella se tratan son: el compromiso político de los artistas y su relación con la represión; la violencia política y sus representaciones visuales; y, finalmente, el gesto artístico y la creación en condiciones de pérdida de libertad, analizados desde una óptica múltiple, basada conceptos como la «resistencia», la «resiliencia» o la «redención». La estructura que planteamos se articula en torno a dos grandes bloques temáticos, titulados genéricamente «extramuros» e «intramuros». El primero nos sitúa en la España anterior a la gran represión franquista, mientras que el segundo se adentra en la violencia política sublevada desde el golpe de Estado. Mientras que los dos primeros capítulos, integrados en el bloque inicial, nos ofrecen una contextualización –abordando aspectos novedosos, como la represión republicana en relación con procesos visuales y artísticos–, en los tres siguientes nos adentramos en el verdadero eje del trabajo, que es el análisis global de la violencia sufrida por creadores plásticos a raíz la sublevación militar de julio de 1936, sin parangón –cuantitativa y cualitativamente– con lo sucedido anteriormente...
This PhD Thesis approaches the connections between political violence and art/visualculture in contemporary Spain, in the historical period which goes from Primo de Rivera’s Dictatorship (1923-1930) to the ending of the «first Francoism» era (1939-1959). Nonetheless, the experience of repression –whatever its form may be– from artistic creation it is the main thread of this research. Our principal discussion issues are: artist’s political commitment and its link to repression; political violence and its visual depictions; and, last but not least, the analysis of artistic gesture and creation in conditions of restricted freedom from a twofold perspective, based on the concepts of «resistance» an «redemption». The proposed structure is articulated around two major thematic areas, generically defined as «extramural» and «intramural». The first one addresses to the precedents of the great Francoist repression, whereas the second considers rebel’s political violence. While the first two chapters offer a context –addressing newfangled aspects, such as republican repression related to visual and artistic processes– in the next three we get into the true axis of our research, which is the global analysis of the violence suffered by plastic creators as a result of the military uprising of July 1936, unparalleled –quantitative and qualitatively– with its precedents...
