Beschrijving

Bol How does Spain see itself on the big screen and how is it seen by others? What is the place of cinema in the construction of an identity that has to deal with its recent past? What representation does it convey and how can cultural history explore it and reveal the part played by reality and fantasy? The authors--French, Spanish, English, Dutch and American--analyze Spanish cinema from their various perspectives. Their diversity enriches their study conducted through the prism of cultural history that focuses on four aspects: national identity, sexual differentiation, portrayal of the "other" (foreigner, immigrant), and memory. Spain is a very particular case because of the radical changes (political, social, economic, cultural) that it has gone through and that here, perhaps more than elsewhere, cinema has played an essential role in the construction of national imagination. The country, long marked by the Church's grip on society and subject to censorship, has, since the arrival of democracy, experienced a spectacular renewal. Modernity, a strong presence of regional nationalism, radical changes in social mores, and the economic boom followed by the crisis provide subjects for filmmakers and construct a national identity which is in constant change.
