This book is the first to explore three visual media in
contemporary Spain: cinema, television and the internet. It also
examines cultural products in each of these media in terms of three
vital themes: emotion, location and nostalgia. The first two
chapters focus on emotion. They analyze the 'emotional imperative'
in a recent Almodovar feature film and in Spanish television's
top-rated period drama, and investigate the politics of affect in
TV drama in the last decade. The next pair of chapters deal with
location. They use cultural geography to re-read contradictory
accounts of the movida (the post-Franco cultural boom) and examine
an attempt to anchor a US-derived genre (the youth movie) in the
urban landscape of Madrid. The fifth and sixth chapters introduce
the theme of location into nostalgia. They treat the unique cases
of a successful Spanish heritage movie and a contemporary Spanish
thriller remade in Hollywood. The peunultimate chapter investigates
electronic artists and the virtual universe, and the book ends with
a look at the implications of Hispano-Mexican co-productions and
the interconnectedness of economic and aesthetic cultural forms. --
