This book analyses how citizens are learning to reclaim the violent history of the \u00abvictims of Francoism\u00bb and to become part of a militant and combative community. S\u00e9lim Smaoui's investigation covers the period from 2000 to 2015, and was conducted at close quarters with the individuals involved in this remembrance movement. Following them step by step, the author traces the progress of those who, from a few buried memories, came to open the mass graves, name their torturers and give voice to a violence never before publicly evoked. The collectives that accompany them in this struggle also contribute to a profound redrawing of their intimacy. This kind of commitment involves working on oneself, revisiting social identities and breaking with the self-evident political order.<\/p>\n<p>Through his journey among the victims and their families, S\u00e9lim Smaoui shows us how these mobilisations create a space for governing critical behaviour, leading individuals to emancipate themselves from state norms and conform to the alternative norms of the social groups that frame their passage into politics. His book is a contribution to our thinking on contemporary forms of resistance, and to our understanding of the ways in which collective mobilisations can (re)politicise memories and subjectivities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.karthala.com\/accueil\/3637-10210-la-mobilisation-comme-gouvernement-de-soi-devenir-victime-du-franquisme-aujourd-hui.html#\/22-ebook-papier\"><strong>Karthala paper version<\/strong><\/a><strong>Cairn digital version (coming soon)<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mesopolhis.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/la-mobilisation-comme-gouvernement-de-soi-devenir-victime-du-franquisme-aujourd-hui.jpg\" alt=\"mobilisation-as-government-of-itself-to-become-victim-of-franquism-today\" height=\"458\" width=\"458\" title=\"mobilisation-as-government-of-itself-to-become-victim-of-franquism-today\" \/>\n\t\t\t<h3> Author<\/h3> <p><strong>S\u00e9lim Smaoui<\/strong> has a doctorate in political science from Sciences Po Paris.
