Presentation

I am particularly interested in the discourse on the Spanish nation since Franco and how it has changed over time and in politics of memory in Spain in the 20th century. My theoretical research focus is thus on history of memory, theories of nationalism, theories of (collective) memory, and theories of culture. On the empirical level my interests focus on Spanish nationalism, Spanish contemporary history, political, economic and social issues in contemporary Spain, and Spain''s relationship with the rest of Europe and the rest of the world.

Primary research areas

• Spanish nationalism and its various expressions
• National symbols and sites of memory (lieux de mémoire)
• Theories of nationalism and identity (collective)
• History and politics of memory
