Resumen
La guerra de España quebró el orden existente entre las personas y sus cosas y entre éstas y sus representaciones. Tras ella, muchos españoles se enfrentaron a la desposesión; experiencia no muy abordada en los estudios sobre el franquismo que este artículo pensará a partir de vivencias de hombres y mujeres alejados de sus cosas por el exilio. Nuestra teoría es que en ese momento las relaciones entre las personas y los objetos han de tejerse de nuevo, incluso con objetos perdidos, ausentes o anhelados. Además, el quiebre de la vida normal de esas cosas hará aparecer un nuevo (des)orden donde los objetos vivirán otras vidas: cosas que sin la cesura de la guerra nunca hubieran existido aparecen, otras cambian de uso y, junto a ellas, conviven, fantasmadas, sus vidas posibles.
Pensar a partir de la ausencia de las cosas, de su aparición y sus transformaciones y de sus vidas posibles (potenciales) permitirá historiar ciertos momentos de crisis, pero, sobre todo, verlos como momentos de potencialidades. Este método es útil para reflexionar sobre toda cesura; por ello, este texto se moverá entre tiempos pensando las experiencias del franquismo junto a exilios y crisis de nuestro presente, y a las nuevas potencialidades y formas de posesión que pueden emerger de ellos.
There are moments of caesura, of exception, that break the existing link between people and their things and between said things and their representations. As a consequence, the former life of things falters and objects are forced to live other lives: things that could never have existed appear, others are repurposed and, simultaneously coexist phantom with alternative lives of departed belongings. In these moments of dis/order the relationship between people and objects have to b reestablished, even with lost, missing or longed-for items. And I endeavor to do so from a perspective influenced by a pandemia that makes us especially sensitive to affective relationships with objects. Now, I look back into a past marked by another sauvage shattering in the life of things: I am referring to the Spanish Civil War and, especially, the early years of the exile’s lives. A time marked by dispossession, a key aspect not well addressed in studies of Franco’s era, but without which it is not possible to fully understand the beginnings of its regime. Moving between eras, with the help of the memories of men and women distant from their belongings, lets me think about new possibilities and ways of ownership that, I maintain, may emerge from their absence. But at the same time, questioning the memory mechanisms and meeting spaces between theory and everyday life.
