Hosting Research Group The ESCUR Research Group investigates the role of war correspondents from a historical, transnational and gender‑sensitive perspective, fully aligned with research priorities and programmes funded by the European Union. Building on extensive work on Spain's nineteenth‑century civil wars—particularly the First Carlist War,



where the modern concept of the foreign correspondent took shape—the group has broadened its scope to include the independence movements of the American viceroyalties under Ferdinand VII, the Second and Third Carlist Wars, and conflicts of the Revolutionary Six‑Year Period (1868–1874), such as the Cuban War in the wider European context of imperialism. Results from this research have been published by internationally recognised academic presses .
This trajectory extends into the twentieth century through studies on journalism during the First and Second World Wars and Spanish conflicts such as the Rif War (1906–1927) and the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939). The group has contributed to defining new analytical parameters for understanding the journalistic profession, documenting milestones such as the emergence of photojournalism, and placing particular emphasis on the role of female correspondents and their impact on European journalistic cultures.
This line of inquiry naturally connects with current debates on media representations of European conflicts and their legacies, particularly the reassessment of the 1945–1989 period in regions such as Israel or Ukraine, as well as with contemporary gender studies. The combined approach strengthens the project’s alignment with the EU’s agenda on equality, memory, and cultural citizenship, and encourages knowledge
