Resumen: La Guerra de la Independencia española sigue presente en el espacio público de la Comunidad Valenciana. Monumentos, esculturas, pinturas, placas conmemorativas, nombres de calles y plazas, espacios museográficos y recreaciones históricas son una prueba de ello. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es señalar los elementos de la memoria histórica que están visibles en la vida cotidiana de los ciudadanos del siglo XXI y ofrecer una interpretación sobre el significado que se da a estos lugares de la memoria de la guerra. Además, se constata que apenas existe una política para la puesta en valor del patrimonio histórico relacionado con la guerra ni una promoción del turismo cultural sobre esta época histórica.Palabras clave: Historia pública, Guerra de la Independencia, Memoria de la guerra, Conmemoraciones, Turismo cultural.Abstract: The Peninsular War is still present in the public spaces of the Valencian Community. Monuments, sculptures, paintings, commemorative plates, names of streets and squares, museums and re-enactments provide proof of this. The objective of this work is to point out the elements of historical memory that are visible in the everyday life of 21st century citizens, and to offer an interpretation of the meaning given to those places in war memories. Additionally, there is hardly any policy for the enhancement of historical heritage related to the war nor some kind of promotion of cultural tourism on those historical times.Keywords: Public history, Peninsular War, War Memory, Commemorations, Cultural tourism.

Middle Bronze Age

AbstractConstructing and deconstructing public spaces in second-millennium BC Anatolia, the Near East and the Levant was not only a collaborative physical act but also involved deeply embodied ritual symbolism. This symbolism is materialised in the practice of conducting public foundation and termination rituals that unified individual memories in space and time, transforming the physical act into a collective memory: a process that contributed to the formation of political and cultural memory. The recent rescue excavations conducted by the Hatay Archaeological Museum at the hinterland site of Toprakhisar Höyük in Altinözü (in the foothills above the Amuq valley) add to the understanding of the practice of foundation and termination rituals during the Middle Bronze Age and how these moments may have contributed to the political and cultural memory of a rural community living away from the centre. The practice of foundation/termination rituals is archaeologically documented by caches of artefacts from votive contexts stratigraphically linked to the construction and termination of a Middle Bronze Age administrative structure.
