Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A History of Spanish Film explores Spanish film from the beginnings of the industry to the present day by combining some of the most exciting work taking place in film studies with some of the most urgent questions that have preoccupied twentieth-century Spain. It addresses new questions in film studies, like 'prestige film' and 'middlebrow cinema', and places these in the context of a country defined by social mobility, including the 1920s industrial boom, the 1940s post-Civil War depression, and the mass movement into the middle classes from the 1960s onwards. Close textual analysis of some 42 films from 1910-2010 provides an especially useful avenue into the study of this cinema for the student. - Uniquely offers extensive close readings of 42 films, which are especially useful to students and teachers of Spanish cinema. - Analyses Spanish silent cinema and films of the Franco era as well as contemporary examples. - Interrogates film's relations with other media, including literature, pictorial art and television. - Explores both 'auteur' and 'popular' cinemas. - Establishes 'prestige' and the 'middlebrow' as crucial new terms in Spanish cinema studies. - Considers the transnationality of Spanish cinema throughout its century of existence. - Contemporary directors covered in this book include Almodóvar, Bollaín, Díaz Yanes and more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literary naturalism, within the Hispanic context, has traditionally been read as a graphic realist school or movement linked predominantly to late nineteenth century literary production. The essays in Au Naturel: (Re)Reading Hispanic Naturalism—written by scholars from different generations, nationalities and ideological backgrounds—propose a major revisionist contribution to the study of Hispanic naturalism. Based on a theoretical proposal that re-semanticizes naturalismo as a diachronic counter-metanarrative phenomenon that transcends the chronological and geographic limitations imposed by traditional criticism on naturalism, the collection provides new readings of traditional naturalist fare as well as re-readings of works that have not been read, within the bounds of conventional criticism, as naturalist. Re-read within the proposed theoretical framework, its essays demonstrate the countless ways in which Hispanic naturalist texts–literary and more recently, filmic—continue to frankly engage the societal problematics that has impeded true social, political, economic and cultural progress from taking place in the Hispanic world from the turbulent fin-de-siècle period of the nineteenth century through the present day, globalized context. Au Naturel: (Re)Reading Hispanic Naturalism is thus also an open invitation to the scholarly community to re-consider other socio-critical works within the Hispanic naturalist context that observe and reflection upon social issues that continue to plague Hispanic society today.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A los lectores que con tanta indulgencia como constancia me favorecen, debo manifestarles que en la composición de EL ABUELO he querido halagar mi gusto y el de ellos, dando el mayor desarrollo posible, por esta vez, al procedimiento dialogal, y contrayendo a proporciones mínimas las formas descriptiva y narrativa. Creerán, sin duda, como yo, que en esto de las formas artísticas o literarias todo el monte es orégano, y que sólo debemos poner mal ceño a lo que resultare necio, inútil o fastidioso. Claro es que si de los pecados de tontería o vulgaridad fuese yo, en esta o en otra ocasión, culpable, sufriría resignado el desdén de los que me leen; pero al maldecir mi inhabilidad, no creería que el camino es malo, sino que yo no sé andar por él. El sistema dialogal, adoptado ya en Realidad, nos da la forja expedita y concreta de los caracteres. Estos se hacen, se componen, imitan más fácilmente, digámoslo así, a los seres vivos, cuando manifiestan su contextura moral con su propia palabra, y con ella, como en la vida, nos dan el relieve más o menos hondo y firme de sus acciones. La palabra del autor, narrando y describiendo, no tiene, en términos generales, tanta eficacia, ni da tan directamente la impresión de la verdad espiritual. Siempre es una referencia, algo como la Historia, que nos cuenta los acontecimientos y nos traza retratos y escenas. Con la virtud misteriosa del diálogo parece que vemos y oímos sin mediación extraña el suceso y sus actores, y nos olvidamos más fácilmente del artista oculto; pero no desaparece nunca, ni acaban de esconderle los bastidores del retablo, por bien construidos que estén. La impersonalidad del autor, preconizada hoy por algunos como sistema artístico, no es más que un vano emblema de banderas literarias, que si ondean triunfantes, es por la vigorosa personalidad de los capitanes que en su mano las llevan.

Book excerpt: El abuelo es una novela del escritor español Benito Pérez Galdós publicada en 1897, cerrando el ciclo "espiritualista" de las novelas españolas contemporáneas. Planteada como novela dialogada en cinco jornadas, el autor la adaptó a pieza dramática en cinco actos, y fue estrenada en el Teatro Español de Madrid el 14 de febrero de 1904.Dominada por la figura trágica del conde de Albrit (desgarrado en su simbólica ceguera entre apariencia y verdad, entre el cariño y la amenaza del deshonor), El abuelo pertenece a la serie de novelas dialogadas que, negando el esquema tradicional de distinción de géneros, caracteriza la última etapa de la obra de Benito Pérez Galdós (1843-1920). Representada con frecuencia a partir de 1904 (año en que fue adaptada a la escena por el autor) y llevada al cine y a la televisión, es una de las obras galdosianas más debatidas y de mayor intensidad dramática.

Cartier created one-of-a-kind pieces; Leonora Carrington and Diego Rivera painted portraits; Carlos Fuentes wrote a play; Agustín Lara, a bestselling song. But she was nobody's muse. Did Félix really bring baby crocodiles to the Cartier boutique to request lifelike copies in a necklace? The story may be apocryphal, but it perfectly encapsulates her powerful, independent and unconventional persona. This book first examines Félix's life and work, reviewing her films and acting style and considering what they say about gender norms and a woman's place on screen. It then turns to her role as curator and benefactor, exploring how art, literature and song sustained her image. It concludes by exploring the persistent interest in her life story and evaluating her significance for contemporary audiences.enefactor, exploring how art, literature and song sustained her image.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Inclusion criteria: a film must be a Mexican production or co-production, feature length (one hour or more, silent films excepted), fictional (documentaries and compilation films are not included unless the topic relates to Mexican cinema; some docudramas and films with recreated or staged scenes are included), and theatrically released or intended for theatrical release.

Download or read book Ram n Mar a del Valle Incl n Savage Comedies written by Ramón María del Valle Inclán and published by MHRA. This book was released on 2022-03-18 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the great figures of European modernism, Ramón Maria del Valle-Inclán (1866-1936) remains relatively unknown and unappreciated outside his native Spain. His large and diverse oeuvre includes prose, poetry, drama as well as critical and journalistic essays. His deeply personal belletristic style evolved from the symbolist aesthetic to the more mature variant of expressionism of his output in the 1920s and '30s, which he termed esperpento. This volume presents translations of his dramatic trilogy Comedias Bárbaras (Savage Comedies), consisting of Cara de plata (Golden Boy, 1922), Águila de blasón (The Blazoned Eagle, 1907) and Romance de Lobos (Wolves Rampant, 1908), together with notes and an introduction that will provide readers with historical and biographical context.
