Abstract

CHICHARRO-MERAYO, Mar  and  GOMEZ-GARCIA, Salvador. Memory of a Coup d'État: historical fiction about February 23^rd. Convergencia [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.65, pp.219-245. ISSN 2448-5799.

This research is focused on two fiction representations of the coup d'état in 1981, February 23^rd in Spain. Specifically two series broadcasted in February 2009, namely: February 23^rd: King's hardest day and February 23^rd: the history of a betrayal. In this way, we assume not only the proposal that fiction is a useful instrument to rebuild historical memory, but also the concern that it is able to renew the perception of some social institutions.

Keywords : television; fiction; history; February 23^rd; army; Spain.
