• W1980928370 abstract "We have come to a place in space where shortlyAll of us may be forced to in time:The slender searchlights climb,Our sins will find us out, even our sins of omission.- Louis MacNeice, Autumn Journal (1938)The above lines by the Irish poet Louis MacNeice were written a few months before Barcelona fell to Franco's troops, and they presage one aspect of the historical disaster that would befall Spain following the nationalist victory: the attempt to obliterate the memory of those who had fought and died for the second Spanish republic. MacNeice predicted the wider consequences of the culture of historical amnesia, which was enforced during the Franco regime, and was then tacitly accepted by some political parties and sectors of society during the Spanish transition.1 The sins of omission of both the civil war and postwar years have, however, returned to haunt Spain, as is made manifest by the mounting interest in recovering the country's historical memory and the recently approved Ley de memoria historica. Contemporary Spain now finds itself forced to camp in time, that is, to acknowledge the dialectics of history and to recognize the traces of the past that linger on within the present and cannot be entirely eradicated. However, since the end of the Franco regime, there has been a marked resistance to the process of remembering, and one criticism that has been levelled against pressure groups, organizations, and individuals who are involved in the project of the recovery of historical memory is that they are suffering from nostalgia and have an overly sentimental view of the past. For example, at the first conference of the Asociacion para la Recuperacion de la Memoria Historica, held at the University of Valladolid in 2003, the Catalan writer Rosa Regas made the following statement in response to this type of criticism: A las personas que escribimos sobre esos anos ominosos que fueron los de la posguerra ... se nos dice que todo esto ya esta olvidado, esta superado y nos echan en cara que no tenemos mas intencion que volver siempre sobre lo mismo (Alvarez 71). This article seeks to counter the view that nostalgic, and hence sentimental, responses to the past necessarily fail to serve any progressive political agenda. I explore this issue by discussing a selection of the late Manuel Vazquez Montalban's Carvalho novels, which received significant criticism for what was perceived to be the author's overly sentimental and nostalgic representations of central, working-class areas of Barcelona during the postwar.2 Yet far from idealizing an era of postwar life in Barcelona, the author instead is attempting to educate the reader's emotions in order to encourage him or her to participate in the process of remembering as a form of resistance to the cultura del olvido that persisted during Spain's transition to democracy.3 More widely, this article also attempts to address the pervasive belief that nostalgic reflections on the past are based on a desire to escape the present and to idealize a segment of the past. Through an analysis of various philosophical accounts of nostalgia and sentimentality, I argue that we need to make careful distinctions between different forms of nostalgia, which will require closer scrutiny of the sentimental context in which nostalgia operates.Gonzalo Navajas was one of the first Hispanists to discuss contemporary Spanish writers' repeated use of nostalgia as evidence of a new configuracion epistemica in the post-Franco novel (132). He dismisses the idea of nostalgia as a denial of the present, suggesting that the type of nostalgic remembrance promoted by postwar Spanish writers encourages readers toward greater self-awareness. What is significant about Navajas's analysis is his more nuanced understanding of the emotional processes at work when an individual reflects upon the past through nostalgic representations in literature: hay incluida una posibilidad de mejoramiento personal porque la conciencia se ve expandida y profundizada despues de una jornada por los caminos de la rememoracion o reconstruccion de la imaginacion anorante (134). …" @default.
