On Monday 20th April, “Si tu vas à Paris” by Jacquie Chavance and Guillaume Mazeline will be projected.

On Tuesday 21st, a debate due to the book presentation “Trauma y Transmisión. Efectos de la guerra del 36, la postguerra, la dictadura y la transición en la subjetividad de los ciudadanos” (meaning Trauma and Transmission. Effects of the War from 1936, post-war, dictatorship and the transition in the subjectivity of the citizens) by Anna Miñarro and Teresa Morandi will be celebrated. This book is a selection of articles based in the first empirical qualitative study in the field of psychoanalysis and mental health on the effects of the war from 1936, the post-war, the dictatorship and the Transition, published in “Quaderns de Salut Mental”. Through all of these, we try to understand how that time was introduced in life and in fate of the characters, and how that time and all its symbolic meaning had an influence on subsequent generations. In the debate, the two authors of the book Anna Miñarro and Teresa Morandi, and the psychologist Marina Albaladejo will participate. The event will be presented by Alfons Cervera.
The days will end on 23rd April with the presentation of the book titled “Las Brigadas Internacionales en Benicàssim” (The International Brigades in Benicàssim), with the intervention of the coordinator of such book, Cristina Escrivà and Juan Carlos Colomer; and the historians of Universitat de València, Ricard Camil y Alfons Cervera.
