Abstract
Este trabajo se aproxima al uso público de la historia en el discurso político y a las pugnas de memoria sobre la Transición española. Centra su estudio en el partido político Podemos. Como hipótesis fundamental plantea que su estrategia discursiva se caracterizó durante su proceso de creación y maduración durante 2014 por una apropiación y actualización populista de la categoría histórica de «ruptura democrática». Dicho término proviene del vocabulario de la oposición antifranquista de mediados de los años setenta. Esta progresiva recuperación y actualización fue fruto de una multiplicidad de factores donde incidieron la reflexión historiográfica, las revisiones del relato político o ciertas dinámicas de transmisión generacional donde participó la memoria militante. Desde ese supuesto, el artículo aborda diversas narrativas formuladas desde Podemos interpretándolas como prácticas de contra-memoria, en relación con el diseño de sus señas de identidad y su diagnóstico político.
This article examines the public use of history and the struggles surrounding the memory of the Spanish transition, centered on the political party Podemos. The article hypothesizes that Podemos’s discursive strategy has been characterized by a populist appropriation and update of the category of democratic rupture. This term emerges from the vocabulary of the anti-Francoist opposition of the mid-1970s. Its progressive recovery since the beginning of the twenty-first century has been the product of multiple factors, including historiographical reflection on revisions of the political story about rupture, and certain dynamics of its generational transmission in which the militant memory has taken part. From this hypothesis, the article addresses different narratives used by Podemos —for example, in relation to the design of their marks of identity and diagnoses for the present and future—, interpreting them as practices of counter-memory.
