This article attempts to reconfigure current historiographical debates on war disability, which have hitherto tended to rely on ‘masculinity’ as an analytical framework. Instead, the case of the Francoist war disabled of the Spanish Civil War underscores the need to consider war disability in relation to broader social hierarchies, and the socio-political topographies in which these operate. In doing so, it is possible to understand how the Francoist war disabled occupied a relatively privileged space in twentieth-century Spain, despite and even because of the impairments they sustained in the Civil War. At the same time, Francoist war disability benefits left much to be desired, and clear differences emerged between the experiences of ‘military’ and ‘civilian’ veterans. In this sense, the Francoist war disabled were both favoured and under-served by the regime’s war disability policies. This research has broader relevance to scholars working on contexts beyond modern Spain, as it disrupts the traditional association of physical impairment with marginality, while highlighting the fluidity of perceptions and experiences of war disability according to socio-political context.

致残与特权：通过 1936-1989 年的法兰西西班牙案例重新思考战争残疾

本文试图重新配置当前关于战争残疾的历史学辩论，这些辩论迄今为止倾向于依赖“男子气概”作为分析框架。取而代之的是，西班牙内战中弗朗哥战争致残的案例强调了将战争致残与更广泛的社会等级以及这些等级运作的社会政治地形相联系的必要性。这样做，可以理解弗朗哥战争中的残疾人如何在 20 世纪的西班牙占据了相对特权的空间，尽管甚至因为他们在内战中遭受了损害。与此同时，佛朗哥战争伤残福利还有很多不足之处，“军事”和“平民”退伍军人的经历之间出现了明显的差异。在这个意义上说，弗朗哥战争伤残人士受到该政权的战争伤残政策的青睐和服务不足。这项研究与在现代西班牙以外的背景下工作的学者具有更广泛的相关性，因为它打破了身体损伤与边缘化的传统联系，同时强调了根据社会政治背景对战争残疾的看法和经历的流动性。
