This article contends that the category of civil war is not suitable for studying the massacres of civilians during the Spanish 1936–1039 war and its aftermath. In trying to build an alternative narrative for the understanding of the destruction of the democratic republic of 1931 founded on the human rights paradigm, an analytical framework is devised based on the deficit in deliberation processes allowing for the re-classification of social constituencies as ontological enemies. By showing that the repression by Franco's followers supplemented institutional logics and rationalities from colonial warfare and religious wars, the article also provides insights for a qualitative differentiation in repression between the two contending sides.

内战、种族灭绝及以后：如何重新找到 1936 年后西班牙民主共和国毁灭的叙事框架

本文认为，内战这一类别不适合研究 1936-1039 年西班牙战争期间及其后果的平民大屠杀。在试图建立一种基于人权范式的对 1931 年民主共和国毁灭的理解的替代叙述时，基于审议过程中的缺陷设计了一个分析框架，允许将社会选区重新分类为本体论敌人. 通过表明佛朗哥的追随者的镇压补充了殖民战争和宗教战争的制度逻辑和合理性，本文还提供了对两个竞争方之间镇压的质的区别的见解。
