Tucson Humanities Festival 2017: Resistance & Revolution, a series of topical lectures, panel discussions and events, including noteworthy guests, presented by the
UA College of Humanities.
Dramatic shifts in human history tend to spring from small acts of resistance and revolution. Moments of principled defiance, quiet dissent and thundering discord create profound change: toppled governments, religious schisms and abrupt disruptions in the ways we live. What leads to those movements and those cultural breaking points? What comes after?
What can the acts of resistance and revolution in the past reveal about the modern world?

Forces Unleashed: Why The Spanish Civil War Still Maters
Scholars have called The Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) a “fratricidal war in Europe’s backwater.” The conflict became much more, galvanizing adversaries on the left and the right and serving as a prelude to the Second World War. More than 60 years later, that “war in Europe’s backwater” and its consequences still loom large in Spain and beyond. Because of its profound political, social and artistic influence, the war and the lessons learned from it still have much to teach us about how societies confront the crises that increasingly threaten civil society.
