Abstract

This study will investigate the narratives related by the members of three different generations within two different families on their memories of the Franco dictatorship. The first generation lived through Francoism, the second the democratic transition, and the third were born in a democratic country. Based on a social and discursive conception of memory and identity, this study is carried out using semi-structured interviews as a data collection tool, which we then thematically analyse, together with aspects of the participants’ positions and voices. The interviews are connected according to the factors of generation and family, and we analyse the similarities and differences. This is how the influence of both is seen in each individual’s memories and identities, in addition to how their political ideology is configured.

Resumen

En el presente estudio se propone investigar las narrativas sobre las memorias de la dictadura franquista que mantienen los miembros de diferentes generaciones dentro de dos familias distintas. La primera generación ha vivido el primer franquismo, la segunda la transición democrática y la tercera ha nacido en democracia. Partiendo de una concepción social y discursiva de la memoria y la identidad, se realiza dicho estudio utilizando como instrumento de recogida de datos una entrevista semiestructurada de la que se realiza un análisis temático, junto a aspectos de posiciones del self y voces. Se ponen en relación las diferentes entrevistas según los factores de generación y familia, encontrándose similitudes y diferencias. Es así que se concluye la influencia de ambos en las configuraciones de las memorias e identidades de los individuos, junto con la ideología política.
