- Abstract
The book "Franco, from hero to comical figure of contemporary culture" by Matilde Eiroa San Francisco is a research work that analyzes the figure of Franco and the consequences of his dictatorship. The book uses first-hand documentary sources and offers an original analysis of Francoism from another point of view. It examines the representations of Franco throughout the dictatorship, from his heroic figure to his transformation into a loving grandfather during the developmentalism. It also mentions the existence of a "Head of State industry" that produced objects related to Franco. The book analyzes the basilica-pantheon of the Valley of Cuelgamuros and its relationship with the dictator Franco's corpse. It examines the official revision of the dictatorship's discourse and the literature and cinema that focused on Franco and his time. It also mentions the change in the perception of Francoism from the year 2000 onwards and the impulse of memorialist associations. The book offers quantitative data and screenshots about the presence of Franco and Francoism on the web and social networks.
