“…On one hand, organ transfer enjoys a peculiar cultural salience in Spain, and has done so since its early days (Herrero Sáenz 2022 ). The Francoist regime made a considerable effort to publicize Spanish surgeons’ achievements in transplantation, with the intention of counteracting negative perceptions of Spain and signaling development to both domestic publics and the international community (Danet 2013 ; Danet and Medina-Doménech 2014 , 2015 ; Herrero Sáenz 2020 ). Later, successive democratic governments have made a substantial investment in building an effective organ procurement system and in encouraging the population to donate their organs (or, more often, their relatives’).…”

How do institutionalized religions solve moral ambiguities around controversial medical innovations and public health issues? Most religions have moral guidelines about what can and cannot be done to people’s bodies, but these guidelines are not always straightforward and, when faced with certain scientific advances, can come into contradiction with other doctrinal principles. I address this theoretical puzzle through the empirical case of the Spanish Catholic Church’s discourse on organ donation and transplantation during the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing on an interpretive analysis of official statements by the Spanish Catholic Church, and of the media coverage of the religious debate over organ donation and transplantation in Spain from 1954 onwards, I show that the first experiments in organ transplantation faced the Church with a contradiction between its altruistic teachings and its beliefs in the sacredness of human life. Faced with an interpretive dilemma, the Church produced a context-specific version of its official doctrine friendly to organ donation and transplantation. It did so by activating its altruistic elements and suppressing sacralized meanings of the body, thus aligning organ donation with Catholic values of generosity and fraternal love. My study theorizes this moral alignment as a semantic overlap realized through historically situated institutional discourse. Additionally, it incorporates 24 primary and secondary sources on comparative cases to propose three facilitating factors that enabled and encouraged the Spanish Catholic Church to embrace a controversial medical practice.

“…En el plano social, la familia se convirtió en agente educativo primordial para la infancia (Cano, 2001;Folguera, 1995;Muñoz, 2007). Las prácticas cotidianas, la representación masculina en la vida pública y el papel del hombre como elemento vertebrador de la economía familiar son algunos de 7(1) 57 los aspectos que permiten que la figura masculina se presente como referente dominante del núcleo familiar y social (Danet & Medina, 2014;Muñoz, 2007).…”

From the end of the decade of 1930, Spain was subjected to an iron distinction of sexes. The Franco dictatorship created two molds: one for man and one for woman. Education became the potter who, through his teachings, was shaping those gender models. The conversion of the scholar into a man or woman according to their sex and the assumption of the roles, stereotypes and meanings that this appropriation implied was the goal of education in those years. Many studies have explored how postwar girls were turned into self-sacrificing women thanks to the educational influences they received, but there are hardly any researches that try to problematize the role played by the school in the reproduction of the masculinity model promoted by the Regime. The work that we present, parts of the review of the existing literature on masculinity in the Franco regime to enter the knowledge of the male education of those years. The childhood memories of two postwar children and the memories of their experiences will allow us to identify and value the model of masculinity in which they were educated.
