HISTAGRA thesis awarded with the XVII “Miguel Artola” Prize for the best doctoral thesis in Contemporary History

 

On June 3, the Association of Contemporary History awarded the XVII “Miguel Artola” Prize for the best doctoral thesis in Contemporary History defended in 2024. The Jury, composed of Professors Carme Molinero Ruiz, Mónica Moreno Seco, María Cruz Romeo Mateo and Professors Juan Luis Pan-Montojo González and Rafael Quirosa-Cheyrouze Muñoz, agreed to award it to the thesis entitled: A destrución dunha sociedade democrática e a formación da sociedade franquista. Vigo, 1936-1939, by Isidro Román Lago, directed by Miguel Cabo Villaverde.

 

The thesis tribunal was formed by: Professor of the Universitat de Lleida, Conxita Mir; Professor Contratado Doctor of the UCM José Luis Ledesma and Professor Titular of the USC, Ana Cabana Iglesia. 

 

The decision adopted is based on the following considerations: It is a thesis on the transformation processes driven by the 1936 coup and the subsequent repression in Vigo. It is based on a large number of sources, with relevant questions and answers chained in a fluid, open and well integrated qualitative and quantitative tools. It constitutes a work of local history that overflows in its analysis and its interpretative proposals the chosen space and a study of the caesura that brought with it the Civil War, which starts from the months before the conflict and is projected in a much broader chronology.
