• Resumen

  • Ruins have always been and are very present in the environment of human beings. Their presence at certain times and places has been part of the political, social, and cultural discourses, as well as their elimination or concealment. A reflection is proposed, in line with the text by Nicholas Stanley-Price, on two periods of contemporary Spain: the early years of Francoism and democracy. These provide scenarios in which ruins and actions that are made around them lead us from their material aspect to an entire series of signifiers.
