This book covers a significant part of the history of Spanish film,
from the 1920s until the present day. Starting with a study of the
kiss in silent films, the volume explores homoerotic narratives in
the crusade films of the 1940s, the commodification of bodies in
the late Franco period, and the so-called destape (literally
undressing) period that followed the abolition of censorship during
the democratic transition. Reclaiming the importance of Spanish
erotic cinema as a genre in itself, a range of international
scholars demonstrate how the explicit depiction of sex can be a
useful tool to illuminate current and historic social issues
including ageism, colonialism, domestic violence, immigration,
nationalisms, or women and LGBT rights. Covering a wide range of
cinematic genres, including comedy, horror and melodrama, this book
provides an innovative and provocative overview of Spanish cinema
history and society in the 20th and 21st centuries.
