Spaniards born in a democracy have no recollection of living through war and what
it entails. We can only access those memories via mediation, by listening to our
relatives who were there, whose stories we become witnesses to, and which
ultimately become our own collective witnessing. The remembrance of the Spanish
Civil War passed on to us in this manner is a contested legacy, a complex
combination of affects and mediated memories, coming from offline?as in
conversations with our elders?and online?such as archival footage?resources.
Experiencing war firsthand left indelible marks in our forebearers? minds. Now
the elderly must face this violent ?war? and ?postwar? rhetoric with the
potential retraumatization it may cause. Not capable to understand why media and
government officials alike call for heroes to resist and fight the crisis, a
discourse heavily imbued with emotions and battlefront references does little to
assuage citizens? fears. Perpetual news reels on the number of dead per day
worsen the psychological strain of a person in lockdown, akin to that of prison
inmates, more so if that person endured an actual war and its aftermath. What
might be done to lessen such harmful impacts? How can we change the narrative and
make it more humane?
