- 요약This dissertation examines representations of social revolution and its agents in literary and cultural texts written, published, and, in the case of the dramatic text, staged during the three-year conflict known as the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939). More specifically, this dissertation discusses what these texts postulate about the relationship of theory and practice in revolutionary politics. The body is central in this dissertation since, in many regards, it is a place where theory meets praxis. In order to examine this relationship, we focus on the revolutionary process - the Spanish Revolution of 1936 - that began alongside the civil war, both of which ensued from the military coup d´etat against the democratically-elected government of the Frente Popular (Popular Front) during the Second Republic in July of 1936. We analyze how the texts respond to the Spanish Revolution of 1936 and, in some instances, the civil war, by examining their depictions of bodies, their compositions, and their processes.The texts we study are Joan Oliver's La fam (1938), an emblematic text of Catalan drama of the revolution and civil war, Lucia Sanchez Saornil's Romancero de Mujeres Libres (1938), a collection of romances (ballads) that narrate the life and death of three figures - Maria Silva Cruz, Encarnacion Gimenez, and Buenaventura Durruti - as well as major episodes during the conflict, and Mary Low and Juan Brea's Red Spanish Notebook (1937), a text that comprises chronicles about the first six months of the revolution and civil war. For these texts, we consider bodies, their compositions (the visceral, intellect, their fleshiness), and their processes (hunger, eating, collective affect) in our analysis of portrayals of the revolutionary process and its agents. This dissertation argues that the practices that derive from the visceral, engage the materiality of the body, and produce collective affect critique, exercise, and influence revolutionary politics in 1930s Spain.Chapter I analyzes La fam as a text that critiques a revolutionary process that fully relies on the intellectual side of its agents while it neglects their visceral side. Through three manifestations of viscerality, the text critiques the intellectualization of the revolution and its bureaucratization that follows the triumph of the armed struggle. Chapter II examines Sanchez Saornil's political poetry in its popular form, the romance. In this chapter, we analyze four poems that conceptualize a central principle in workers' struggle - solidarity - as kinship and in bodily terms (fleshiness and mutual embodiment). Additionally, three romances of this collection narrate major episodes of the struggle, including the antifascist resistance of Madrid in November of 1936 as well as the antifascist resistance of the Northern Front in the autumn of 1937. We examine Madrid, Asturias, and the pueblo as suffering bodies that self-transform as a means to resist oppressive forces. Lastly, Chapter III studies the bodily practices in the retaguardia (behind the lines) that Low and Brea document in Red Spanish Notebook. These practices that exemplify political action and behavior in the retaguardia include raising fists, wearing the mono azul (blue overalls) and espardenyes (rope-soled shoes), carrying and responding to political symbols such as flags, attending political rallies as well as political and funeral processions, and singing anthems. We examine how this text tracks a commitment to the workers' struggle and the fight against fascism in physical terms. Additionally these practices produce affective atmospheres in which bodies influence one another and configure one another's revolutionary subjectivity.
