    The Transatlantic Embrace: Spanish Civil War in America’s Intimate Distance

    "Forma" Revista d'estudis comparatius. Art, literatura, pensament

    Spanish Civil War has been studied under its multiple angles. This can also be said about the literature concerning this topic: novels, poems, and all literary forms generated by this armed conflict (both by Spanish and foreign intellectuals) have been commented by academic criticism from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. However, fewer approaches have set the axis of their critical focus on the importance of the Spanish conflict in America and its decisive relevance as a part of a phenomenon that is also American. This special number of the FORMA journal sets out to give a voice to all types of contributions able to shed a new light on this fundamental aspect of the war, whose causes and consequences are clearly rooted in Spain, but whose horizon overflows the peninsular and continental borders and requires an inevitably transatlantic point of view.

    The Berlin Airlift

    A Realm of Memory of the Cold War

    Whether or not “the entire world” was looking at Berlin, as Reuter asserted, is one of the central questions to be addressed at our conference. Starting from the “frontline city” of Berlin, we will cast our glance to West Germany and its neighboring countries in order not only to frame the Berlin Airlift as a transnational memorial of the Cold War, but also to address, from outside, the question of whether Berlin was really the international focus of the East-West conflict back then, as the press and academia so often portray it.

    Jugurtha confronts Rome

    Après avoir conquis la péninsule Italique, Rome aspirait à la domination de tout le bassin méditerranéen ; son ambition était d’autant plus grande quand elle avait soumis Carthage qui lui servit de base au Nord de l’Afrique. En effet, Rome détruisit Carthage en 146 avant J.C. ; sa visée fut alors d’étendre son hégémonie à tout le reste du monde antique. Elle était poussée par des convictions religieuses inébranlables, à savoir que le Romain est le plus pieux de tous ; ce qui lui assure la victoire et l’investit de la mission de « civiliser le monde » en lui assurant une bonne organisation, ce qu’a exprimé Virgile plus tard : « n’oublie jamais, vaillant Romain, que tu es né pour gouverner les peuples… oblige-les à respecter la paix ». Mais cette conviction à elle seule n’est rien de plus qu’un instrument de mobilisation que Rome utilise pour accomplir ce qu’elle appelle sa « noble mission » de civiliser les peuples en imposant l’ordre romain.
