This doctoral seminal proposes to reflect on the practices of narration developped through the arts during the Cold War period (1947-1991) or in relation to it. We are expecting proposals from PhD candidates to participate on April 19th, 2017 at the Faculty of Geography and History of the University of Barcelona.
