Abstract

The diaspora of republican supporters that took place after the Spanish Civil War resulted in the exile of thousands of people. Many of them crossed the Pyrenees and were placed in improvised internment camps by the sea and different locations in the Roussillon. This traumatic experience generated all types of memory writings by the Spanish republican exiles. An important part of these texts was produced by Catalan refugees, some of them professional writers, others were just anonymous citizens who wished to bear testimony of what they had lived as an outcome of their political defeat. Their texts constitute relevant examples of memory writing, autobiographical or fictional which offers a different textuality.

 

Keywords: French internment camps; internment literature; catalan literature; autobiographical literature; diaspora of The Spanish republicans.
