# Event Details - **Event Name**: Political and cultural transformation after the Transition - **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 06:30 pm – Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 08:30 pm - **Event Description**: Hispanist Nuria Capdevila-Arg´¨uelles and Duncan Wheeler in conversation with Sarah WrightAbout this EventInstituto Cervantes in London presents a lecture series marking 50 years since the beginning of democracy in Spain.The third event in the series will feature two lectures by renowned Hispanists: Duncan Wheeler from the University of Leeds and Nuria Capdevila-Argüelles from the University of Exeter.Following the presentations, the roundtable discussion will be chaired by Sara Wright, Director of the Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland.The topics of the lectures are:"Following Franco: Spanish Culture and Politics in Transition" by Duncan WheelerIn 1995, twenty years after Franco’s death, the television programme La Transición (Victoria Prego) offered viewers a widely accepted narrative of Spain’s passage from dictatorship to democracy. As a secondary school student, Duncan was convinced that the Transition was Spain’s success story. Fifteen years later, he began writing a book on the subject, Following Franco: Spanish Culture and Politics in Transition. In this talk, Duncan will explore how the Transition has been conceptualised by historians and the public in different years—1995, 2010, and 2025. To illustrate his arguments, he will address specific aspects of the research underpinning his monograph, such as interviews with political figures (e.g. Felipe González, Soledad Becerril, and Alfonso Guerra), and the attempt to incorporate new approaches through the analysis of popular and celebrity cultures."Spanish Women, Spanish Feminism: In Transition" by Nuria Capdevila-ArgüellesGender mainstreaming and, more broadly, feminist perspectives always prompt reinterpretations of history, society, and culture. This applies to the Spanish Transition as well. In fact, from a feminist point of view, it could be argued that the Transition is still ongoing, and that we need to understand how it continues in the Spanish context. Let us use women’s contributions to history and culture—the experiences of key “Spanish women in transition,” their work and networks—to consider whether the Transition is actually us, rather than something that began 50 years ago and simply took the country from dictatorship to democracy.Event organised in collaboration with The Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland.Event in English. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/london/political-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition/100001852425256809 - **Event Categories**: womens-history-month - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fpolitical-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition-tickets-1852425256809 - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: London - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Instituto Cervantes London - **lat**: 51.5131396 - **long**: -0.11284630000000107 - **full address**: Instituto Cervantes London, 15-19 Devereux Ct, London, United Kingdom ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Instituto Cervantes - London (https://allevents.in/org/instituto-cervantes-london/22577728) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3352747f1b5f74369184526c1a4e13289068307d4edde65dab284f5af854a916-rimg-w1200-h627-dc2f3344-gmir.jpg?v=1761938193 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/5932bda5fc686654b0d4475edd0603155c51e6c6a9c64e83f816c0c3069b6c96-rimg-w400-h400-dc2f3344-gmir.jpg?v=1761938192 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Thu, 20 Nov, 2025 at 06:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Instituto Cervantes London, 15-19 Devereux Ct, London, United Kingdom - **Q**: What is the ticket price? - **A:** starting from 0 up to 0 GBP - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Instituto Cervantes - London - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** womens-history-month - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about Political and cultural transformation after the Transition ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Political and cultural transformation after the Transition", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/3352747f1b5f74369184526c1a4e13289068307d4edde65dab284f5af854a916-rimg-w1200-h627-dc2f3344-gmir.jpg?v=1761938193", "startDate": "2025-11-20", "endDate": "2025-11-20", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/political-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition/100001852425256809", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Instituto Cervantes London", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "15-19 Devereux Ct", "postalCode": "WC2R 3JJ", "addressLocality": "London", "addressRegion": "EN", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "51.5131396", "longitude": "-0.11284630000000107" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Hispanist Nuria Capdevila-Arg´¨uelles and Duncan Wheeler in conversation with Sarah Wright", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "2025-11-20", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/political-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition/100001852425256809" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/political-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition/100001852425256809", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "GBP", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-04", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-04", "url": "https://allevents.in/london/political-and-cultural-transformation-after-the-transition/100001852425256809", "price": 0, "name": "Online access" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Instituto Cervantes - London", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/instituto-cervantes-london/22577728", "description": "The Instituto Cervantes is the official Spanish language and culture centre created by the Spanish government in 1991.
