This volume is the first English-language collection exclusively
dedicated to the study of genre in relation to Spanish cinema.
Providing a variety of critical perspectives, the collection gives
the reader a thorough account of the relationship between Spanish
cinema and genre, drawing on case studies of several of the most
remarkable Spanish films in recent years. The book analyses the
significant changes in the aesthetics, production and reception of
Spanish film from 1990 onwards. It brings together European and
North American scholars to establish a critical dialogue on the
topics under discussion, while providing multiple perspectives on
the concepts of national cinemas and genre theory. In recent years
film scholarship has attempted to negotiate the tension between the
nationally specific and the internationally ubiquitous, discussing
how globalisation has influenced film making and surrounding
cultural practice. These broader social concerns have prompted
scholars to emphasise a redefinition of national cinemas beyond
strict national boundaries and to pay attention to the
transnational character of any national site of film production and
reception. This collection provides a thorough investigation of
contemporary Spanish cinema within a transnational framework, by
positing cinematic genres as the meeting spaces between a variety
of diverse forces that necessarily operate within but also across
territorial spaces. Paying close attention to the specifics of the
Spanish cinematic and social panorama, the essays investigate the
transnational economic, cultural and aesthetic forces at play in
shaping Spanish film genres today. -- .
Este estudio aborda un conjunto de peliculas de la filmografia
iberoamericana donde el autor reflexiona en torno a los abusos de

autoritarismos, la corrupcion politica y economica, la homofobia y
la violencia contra las minorias. Con ello se busca mostrar un
abanico amplio de perspectivas criticas, para que el lector pueda

latinoamericano; la segunda, "Cine comercial, independiente y
documental: teoria y praxis", estudia diferentes aspectos del
panorama cinematografico espanol; la tercera, "Television, musica y
cultura popular", aborda cambios sustanciales en diversos ambi-tos
culturales en Espana y Brasil, y analiza una serie de artefactos
contemporaneos que reevaluan los anos noventa
