Laura Cruz Chamizo
I earned a Bachelor’s degree in History from the University of Deusto in 2012, after having received an Erasmus grant the previous year to study at the University of Manchester. Upon finishing my undergraduate studies, I earned a Interuniversity Master’s degree in Contemporary History, doing coursework at both the UPV/EHU and the Complutense University of Madrid. I am currently immersed in my pre-doctoral research within the Doctoral Program in Contemporary History at the UPV/EHU under the supervision of Nerea Aresti Esteban.
Entitled “La figura del/a militante en el Partido Comunista de España (PCE) durante la Transición (1975-1982)”, [Militant models in the Spanish Communist Party during the Spanish Transition (1975-1982)], the main focus of my research is to incorporate the figure of the militant into the definition of political cultures within this specific context. To do so, I consider it essential to address people’s subjectivity when receiving, re-appropriating and re-elaborating the discourses that shape them. I am particularly interested in examining the instrumentalization of everyday life as a means of transmitting and creating the discourses that shape each political culture. These discourses have a meaningful emotional dimension, promoting a bond that is not only ideological but also emotional between its members.
