We have developed in the last three years a line of interdisciplinary research that studies the landscape of fascist repression and anti-Francoist resistance in a Galician rural area. We have carried out exhumations in cemeteries, we have excavated peasant houses that welcomed guerrillas and we have reconstructed the escape of some survivors who got exiled in the summer of 1936. All this work has allowed us to analyse the materialities and memories produced by the systematic violence unleashed by the rebels in a rural area located in the rear. Our approach based on Community Archaeology has managed to make public the dramatic history linked to these spaces and turn them into real places of memory..

Histórias da PIDE
Quando o Salazar mandava. Volume 1
Em 1965, o General Humberto Delgado, inimigo público número 1 de Salazar, foi assassinado perto de Badajoz por uma brigada da PIDE. A chefiá‑la estava Rosa Casaco, que, fugido do país a seguir ao 25 de Abril de 1974, viria a ser condenado a oito anos de prisão e a tornar‑se, após uma entrevista incluída neste livro, um dos rostos mais emblemáticos desta força policial.
Sólido e temido bastião do Estado Novo, ninguém escapava ao raio de ação da PIDE: nem Calouste Gulbenkian, o homem mais rico do mundo, que foi preso em 1942; nem o ex‑Presidente da República Marechal Craveiro Lopes, vítima de chantagem de carácter sexual; nem sequer o bispo D. Eurico Dias Nogueira, submetido a constante vigilância, com cartas interceptadas até para o Vaticano e para o próprio Salazar.
Estas são algumas das Histórias da PIDE que José Pedro Castanheira investigou ao longo dos anos para o Expresso, todas reportando neste volume ao período de Salazar. O segundo volume incidirá sobre a época de Marcello Caetano.
