Written in Spanish, this book explores an understudied aspect of
Hispanic culture: the relationship between dramatic texts and their
cinematic adaptations. It examines the transposition of form and
ideology in cinematic versions of twentieth-century Spanish plays
by Carlos Arniches, Ramon del Valle Inclan, Federico Garcia Lorca,
Victor Ruiz Iriarte, Antonio Buero Vallejo, Fernando Fernan Gomez,
and Jose Sanchis Sinisterra.
The matters addressed include a historic overview of the
relationship between cinema and theater in Spain, a comparative
study of the principles governing these two media, the use of
self-reflexivity and metatextual strategies, and the transposition
of ideology during critical periods of modern Spanish history, as
well as the construction of the female subject, the relationship
between power structures and gender difference, and the
representation of woman as a spectacle/commodity in selected film
adaptations of Spanish plays.
