Stephanie Sieburth’s \u003cem\u003eSurvival Song\u003c\/em\u003es explores how a genre of Spanish popular music, the \u003cem\u003ecopla\u003c\/em\u003e, as sung by legendary performer Conchita Piquer, helped Republican sympathizers to survive the Franco regime’s dehumanizing treatment following the Spanish Civil War (1936–39). Piquer’s \u003cem\u003ecoplas\u003c\/em\u003e were sad, bitter stories of fallen women, but they offered a way for the defeated to cope with chronic terror, grief, and trauma in the years known as the “time of silence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the observations of clinical psychotherapy, Sieburth explores the way in which listening to Piquer’s \u003cem\u003ecoplas\u003c\/em\u003e enabled persecuted, ostracized citizens to subconsciously use music, role-play, ritual, and narrative to mourn safely and without fear of repercussion from the repressive state. An interdisciplinary study that includes close readings of six of Piquer’s most famous \u003cem\u003ecoplas\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSurvival Songs \u003c\/em\u003ewill be of interest to specialists in modern Spanish studies and to clinical psychologists, musicologists, and those with an interest in issues of trauma, memory, and human rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"By Stephanie Sieburth","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575406330038,"sku":"9781442644731","price":38.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781442644731_baaa7955-db26-4b08-8559-a13da1e2e4f8.jpg?v=1727458433","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/survival-songs","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
