“…They deserve closer analysis because they provide important clues for understanding TVC’s discourses and narratives about the war; they do this by summarizing some of the main characteristics of overall Catalan production on the topic and arousing considerable interest in a troubled political context. Armengou and Belis have been rather neglected by scholarship on media, culture and memory studies, despite some exceptions (see the Special Issue of Trípodos (16; 2005) on ‘El documental’ and Herrmann, 2008a, 2008b; Resina, 2007). Their productions tackle such controversial issues as the loss and death of children during Francoism, the exhumation of people killed by military repression and the bombing of civilians in Barcelona during the war, three topics that Spanish democracy was, or perhaps was not, prepared to face.…”

Catalan television journalism disrupted the existing hegemonic discourses of the 1990s and 2000s by broaching unknown or silenced topics regarding civilian suffering and the post-Civil War atrocities of Franco’s fascist dictatorship. The author introduces the concept of ‘narrative democratization’ to highlight the existence of alternative narratives regarding the Spanish Civil War and its consequences, paying special attention to a number of documentaries by award-winning journalists Montserrat Armengou and Ricard Belis. It is suggested that narrative democratization is grounded in four discourse strategies: giving the victims a voice, unveiling untold or unknown stories, representing remembrance as an act of justice and internationalizing the narratives of the Civil War. Taking a Foucauldian approach to the concept of ‘will to truth’ ( volonté de vérité), the author argues that television documentaries presented new perspectives on the public story of the Spanish Civil War.

El propósito de este ensayo es indagar en las interrelaciones entre los distintos discursos narrativos de elaboración del pasado dictatorial, particularmente entre los no-fácticos —estético, literario, cultural, etc.— y los fáctico-disciplinarios —el jurídico-legal y el historiográfico—. La hipótesis de este ensayo es que los lenguajes de la historia, del derecho y de la cultura conforman una formación discursiva (Foucault) o interdiscurso de la memoria histórica, esto es, un modelo discursivo de segundo grado, basado en la conjunción de distintos discursos particulares y en base a una serie de analogías e interrelaciones. El ensayo analizará hasta qué punto la judicialización de la política corresponde a un proceso paralelo que podría llamarse judicialización del discurso estético o cultural. Este proceso forma parte del así llamado ‘forensic turn’ o ‘giro forense’. En un sentido amplio, lo forense apunta al hecho de que todos los discursos reivindicativos sobre el pasado constituyen prácticas ‘forenses’, en la medida en que constituyen ‘foros’ de la justicia. Es también en este sentido que puede hablarse de un interdiscurso de la memoria. Se darán algunas pautas para analizar las analogías y transferencias entre discursos fácticos y discursos estéticos. En un primer paso se recuentan algunas interrelaciones entre los tres discursos sobre el pasado. Estas interrelaciones se explican por una serie de analogías intrínsecas o rasgos compartidos, entre otros, su carácter representativo (o epidíctico), narrativo, epistémico, demostrativo y reivindicativo. En contextos de justicia histórica, estas características son inseparables de su función ético-social-restitutiva, retributiva y/o reparadora. En un tercer paso analizaremos algunos axiomas del giro forense, particularmente sus asunciones materialistas y poshumanas y su repercusión en el campo cultural.The paper deals with how factual (historiographical and legal) and nonfactual (aesthetic, literary, cultural, etc.) discourses on the past intertwine. It starts from the hypothesis that the languages of history, law and culture form a discursive formation (Foucault). In the first part, the essay analyzes to which point the judicialization of politics is paralleled by an analogous process of judicialization of cultural and aesthetic discourses. These processes seem to be related to a more general turn in cultural studies, referred to as forensic turn. In the second part, the paper proposes a conceptualization of the interrelations between factual and non-factual narratives of the past. In the third part, the essay discusses some ideological presuppositions of the forensic turn, mainly its materialist and post-human assumptions, as well as its influence on the cultural field.
