At the same time, an anti-authoritarian memory emerged, drawing from democratic political projects, self-management, and the defense of individual and collective rights. Both traditions remain alive in contemporary Europe and are subjects of study at MEYCOM, particularly regarding the former Soviet space and the propagandistic and media uses of the past in today&#8217;s Russia.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:clamp(17.905px, 1.119rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.485), 28px);font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><summary>3. \u00abHistorical Memory\u00bb in Andalusia and Spain<\/summary>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:0px\"><strong>Lorem Ipsum<\/strong>&nbsp;es simplemente el texto de relleno de las imprentas y archivos de texto.

Although timelines vary, there is a general consensus that the study of Francoist repression and the recovery of the memory of its victims must be at the center of research. As MEYCOM researchers, we are interested in the reasons behind the polarization of narratives about the recent past, media coverage of memory-related issues, and the role of education and mass media in shaping how we look at the past. Since MEYCOM originated in Andalusia, we place the geographical focus of much of our research there, centering on the lines detailed below.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<details class=\"wp-block-details is-layout-flow wp-block-details-is-layout-flow\" style=\"font-size:clamp(17.905px, 1.119rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 1.485), 28px);font-style:normal;font-weight:600\"><summary>4.

From a critical and interdisciplinary approach that integrates cultural analysis, media criticism, and eco-\/trans-feminist epistemological reflection, MEYCOM does not only investigate subaltern memories and current crises; we also understand communication as a space for struggle and resistance, and a political tool with the potential for social transformation. Situated within feminist studies of communication and culture, we explore both the popularization of reactionary and <em>continuationist narratives<\/em>\u2014which dictate the hegemonic possibilities of the past, present, and future\u2014and the production of counter-narratives in feminist journalism, popular culture, and eco-social activism that propose paths toward well-being with life at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"en-l-neas","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-584","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=584"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":807,"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/584\/revisions\/807"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/grupo.us.es\/meycom\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
