Laura Desfor Edles takes a distinctively culturalist approach to Spain's transition to democracy after Franco. She uses textual interpretation of Spanish newspapers to examine the 'strategy of consensus' deployed at this time and uncovers the processes of symbolization and ritualization behind the political transition.
This is a book about the role of culture in social change and the Spanish transition to democracy after Franco. Laura Desfor Edles takes a distinctively culturalist approach to the 'strategy of consensus' deployed by the Spanish elite and uses systematic textual interpretation (with a particular focus on Spanish newspapers) to show how a new symbolic framework emerged in post-Franco Spain which enabled the resolution of specific events critical to the success of the transition. In addition to uncovering underlying processes of symbolization, she shows that politico-historical transitions can themselves be understood as ritual processes, involving as they do phases and symbols of separation, liminality and re-aggregation.
