PANEL 3: The legacies of fascism in 20th century Europe: an intergenerational approach

Th is panel aims to analyse the European far right between the end of WWI and the mid-1980s from an intergenerational perspective. Th e papers presented will mainly focus on the interactions between the so-called GI generation (those born between 1901–1924), and the baby boom generation (including those born between 1943 and 1960). It will also take into account proposals that examine the mediating role played by the so-called silent generation (which includes those born between 1925 and 1942). Specifi cally, the panel looks for works that delve into: the memories of crucial twentieth century landmarks for the far right, myths and symbols of the extreme right developed and shared by the aforementioned generations; the confl icts that arose between their members as a result of the existence of diff erent memories of the same events or symbols; the processes of intergenerational transmission of these memories and their mechanisms, as well as the infl uence of the context in the transformation of such memories. Given that an important number of foreign panelists are expected in this workshop, the working language might be English. Colleagues interested in participating should send a text of 1500 words including a cv of no more than 500 words to the panel coordinators.
