Wars, Violence, and Authoritarianism

How do the machinery of war and political violence relate to the production of power relations and subjectivity that we generally refer to as authoritarianism? Professors Charalambos Minasidis (University of Yale) and Fernando Jiménez Herrera (Complutense University of Madrid) will share their reflections on this question, based on meticulous archival work that positions them as two of the leading experts on the Greek and Spanish dictatorships of the 20th century.

The workshop is part of the STEXEU project, coordinated by Arturo Zoffmann Rodriguez.

Programme:

11h-13h: From Discrimination to Genocide: Minorities as the “Enemy Within” during the Ottoman Long War, with Charalambos Minasidis (University of Yale)
16h-18h: Chekas, la violencia revolucionaria en el relato franquista sobre la guerra civil española, 1936-1977, with Fernando Jiménez Herrera (Complutense University of Madrid)
