This is the first genre study of child-starred cinemas from Spain.
It illuminates continuities in the political use of the child
protagonist in over fifty years of Spanish cinema and how the
child-starred genres deploy the concept of childhood to
retrospectively define the nation and its future. From Francoist
popular to oppositional auteur films, and including Spanish and
Latin American cinema, this monograph examines commonalities in
aesthetics, narratives and genre functions. It demonstrates the
impact of these narratives within Spanish film history and
Francoist biopolitics, as well as providing a broader transatlantic
perspective on the genre in select productions from Chile and
Argentina.
The Feeling Child: Affect and Politics in Latin American Literature
and Film compiles a series of essays focusing on the figure of the
child within the specific context of the "affective turn" in the
study of contemporary sociocultural settings across Latin America.
This edited volume looks specifically at the intersection between
cultural constructions of childhood and the affective turn within
the contemporary sociopolitical landscape of Latin America. The
editors and contributors share a common aim in furthering
comprehension of the particular intensity of the child's affective
presence-spectatorial, haptic, silent, and spectral, among
others-in contemporary Latin American cultural expression. The
contributions herein approach this theoretical challenge through an
interdisciplinary lens which brings together two burgeoning strands
of inquiry. The first is the notion of childhood as a significant,
and inherently political, sociocultural space; the second is the
recognition that affect is integral and fundamental to gaining a
more complex understanding of the manner in which contemporary
social worlds are made. In each case, this affective presence is
teased out as a register of society, shedding light on the issues
marking out the current sociopolitical landscape-in particular the
traces of the recent past-in the regions represented. This book
brings together established international scholars and young
academics focusing on Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, and Peru.
