The acute processes of globalisation at the turn of the century
have generated an increased interest in exploring the interactions
between the so-called global cultural products or trends and their
specific local manifestations. Even though cross-cultural
connections are becoming more patent in filmic productions in the
last decades, cinema per se has always been characterized by its
hybrid, transnational, border-crossing nature. From its own
inception, Spanish film production was soon tied to the Hollywood
film industry for its subsistence, but other film traditions such
as those in the Soviet Union, France, Germany and, in particular,
Italy also determined either directly or indirectly the development
of Spanish cinema. Global Genres, Local Films: The Transnational
Dimension of Spanish Cinema reaches beyond the limits of the film
text and analyses and contextualizes the impact of global film
trends and genres on Spanish cinema in order to study how they
helped articulate specific national challenges from the conflict
between liberalism and tradition in the first decades of the 20th
century to the management of the contemporary financial crisis.
This collection provides the first comprehensive picture of the
complex national and supranational forces that have shaped Spanish
films, revealing the tensions and the intricate dialogue between
cross-cultural aesthetic and narrative models on the one hand, and
indigenous traditions on the other, as well as the political and
historical contingencies these different expressions responded to.
