Memory and Spatiality in Spain: A History.Memory and Spatiality: Theoretical Framework.Cultural Memory in Contemporary Spain.Contesting postmemory as the dominant explanatory framework, my analysis reveals a diverse spectrum of motivation, ranging from identity differentiation and the reclamation of a gendered historical memory to the counteraction of the increasing politicisation of the memory boom. My typology of non-participatory generations defines the principal characteristics of the three generations who have narrativised memory in the noughties. A secondary theme of this monograph is the motivation underlying this coterie of authors’ commitment to the issue of historical memory. The influence of gender, class, and generational status on the subjects' experience of space is also examined. The interrelationship between Republican subalternity and space is redefined by the writers under study as tense and constantly in flux, undermined by its inexorable relationality, which leads to subjects endeavouring to instill into space their own values. Departing from an interdisciplinary basis of the history and sociology of Spanish space and memory, Lorraine Ryan examines the narrative representation of the relationship between the preservation of a prohibited Republican memory of the Spanish Civil War and Franco Dictatorship, the transformations of Spanish public space, and the violation of domestic space during the period, 1931-2005 in seven texts of the Spanish memory boom.
