Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Loin des figures tutélaires de Buñuel et d'Almodovar, les cinéastes espagnols apparus dans les années quatre-vingt-dix ont développé une production variée, soignée, sans héritage ou filiation particuliers. Du cinéma de genre ambitieux d'Enrique Urbizu et Alejandro Amenabar à la comédie postmoderne d'Alex de la Iglesia, de l'univers ascétique de Marc Recha à la veine poétique de Julio Medem, il n'existe ni école ni mouvement aux contours bien précis, mais une extraordinaire diversité créative produite dans un système en grande partie libéral. Le Jeune Cinéma espagnol des années 90 à nos jours est une invitation à découvrir en une quarantaine de films (Perdita Durango, Tesis, Les Amants du cercle polaire, La Caja 507...) et quatorze metteurs en scène, les talents les plus distincts et les longs métrages les plus marquants des dix dernières années, au cœur d'une Espagne moderne, mouvante et innovante.

Book excerpt: Le cinéma espagnol, l'un des plus riches d'Europe, commence à être connu sinon reconnu au-delà de ses frontières. Grâce à Bunuel, Saura, Almodovar, il a su intéresser un public de plus en plus vaste. Il a derrière lui une longue histoire particulièrement dense où, du cinéma muet jusqu'à nos jours, nous retrouvons les genres essentiels (le serial, le film d'art, le documentaire) et les étapes du cinéma mondial (le néoréalisme, les innovations des années 60, la modernité, la postmodernité...). A travers cette histoire du cinéma espagnol, nous avons voulu montrer sa richesse et sa diversité, alors que désormais le cinéma fait partie intégrante des études hispaniques.
Download or read book Creating Spaniards written by Sandie Eleanor Holguin and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Landscape, Nature, and the Body Politic explores the origins and lasting influences of two contesting but intertwined discourses that persist today when we use the words landscape, country, scenery, nature, national. In the first sense, the land is a physical and bounded body of terrain upon which the nation state is constructed (e.g., the purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain, from sea to shining sea). In the second, the country is constituted through its people and established through time and precedence (e.g., land where our fathers died, land of the Pilgrims pride). Kenneth Robert Olwig s extended exploration of these discourses is a masterful work of scholarship both broad and deep, which opens up new avenues of thinking in the areas of geography, literature, theater, history, political science, law, and environmental studies. Olwig tracks these ideas though Anglo-American history, starting with seventeenth-century conflicts between the Stuart kings and the English Parliament, and the Stuart dream of uniting Scotland with England and Wales into one nation on the island of Britain. He uses a royal production of a Ben Jonson masque, with stage sets by architect Inigo Jones, as a touchstone for exploring how the notion of "landscape" expands from artful stage scenery to a geopolitical ideal. Olwig pursues these contested concepts of the body politic from Europe to America and to global politics, illuminating a host of topics, from national parks and environmental planning to theories of polity and virulent nationalistic movements.

Download or read book New Mythological Figures in Spanish Cinema written by Pietsie Feenstra and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2011 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1970s, especially after Franco's death in 1975, Spanish cinema was bursting at the seams. Numerous film directors broke free from the ancient taboos which had reigned under the dictatorship. They introduced characters who, through their bodies, transgress the traditional borders of social, cultural and sexual identities. Post- Franco cinema exhibits women, homosexuals, transsexuals, and delinquents in new and challenging ways.Under Franco rule, all of these dissident bodies were 'lost'. Here, they reflect new mythological figures, inhabiting an idealised body form (a prototypical body).
Download or read book The Cinema of V ctor Erice written by Linda C. Ehrlich and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To coincide with the recent DVD release of The Spirit of the Beehive, this paperback collection of essays focuses on the work of acclaimed Spanish director, Víctor Erice. Originally published in hardcover under the title An Open Window, this expanded edition draws on original essays, reprints, and new translations from an international group of writers. New to this edition are four essays from noted film scholars—including editor Linda C. Ehrlich—as well as three added essays from the filmmaker himself. Both the original and new material provide a deeper appreciation of Erice's three feature-length films—The Spirit of the Beehive [El espíritu de la colmena] (1973), El Sur (1982), and Dream of Light [aka The Quince Tree Sun, El sol del membrillo] (1992), as well as his shorter works, including his most recent accomplishment, La morte rouge (2006). This anthology examines the aesthetic, historical, and sociological forces at work in Erice's films and includes an extensive interview with the director. This broad array of writings provides insight into not only three unforgettable films, but also into twentieth-century Spanish society, as well as world cinema. The Cinema of Víctor Erice: An Open Window will serve as an important resource to measure the career of this director who—along with Buñuel, Saura, and Almodóvar—has helped show the world the creative range of Spanish cinema. With additional essays, translations, and illustrations, this paperback edition explores new avenues of expression pursued by one of the most poetic of modern filmmakers.

Download or read book Seeing in Spanish written by Ryan Prout and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05-25 with total page 363 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seeing in Spanish brings together 22 chapters which share a focus on aspects of visual cultures from the Spanish speaking world. Together these chapters address film, photography, cover art, body art, posters, television, architecture, ekphrasis, biography, murals, graffiti, and digital photo-montage. Between Don Quixote and Daddy Yankee, the essays move from the seventeenth century to the present and traverse Europe, the Americas, and cyberspace. The book is divided into five sections. The first of these, on Spain, includes chapters on the representation of women on LP covers in Spain in the 60s and 70s; portrayals in Spanish cinema of Saint Teresa; Luis Buñuel’s adaptation of Tristana; urban and rural space in recent Spanish documentary film; Catalan television; fine art in Don Quixote; and visions of adoption in three narratives by Spanish writers and filmmakers. The second section, on Mexico and Peru, includes chapters on the fragmentary body in images of Mexico; the art of Abraham Ángel; Jesús Ruiz Durand’s agrarian reform posters; Diego Rivera’s murals; and the role of artistic production in staging the 2006 Oaxaca conflict. The third section, on Cuba, looks at the portrayal of women and of children in recent cinema from the island. It also examines Nancy Morejón’s celebration of the life and art of exiled Cuban artist Ana Mendieta. Section four includes chapters on Chile and Argentina. It addresses street art and graffiti; new forms of publishing; Chilean cinema after Pinochet; and Violeta Parra’s appliqué and collage works. Section five embraces Colombia, Bolivia, and virtual spaces. The contributions to this last section of the book examine childhood in Colombian cinema; the online creativity of pro- and anti-fans of reggaeton; and the photographic diaries of T. Ifor Rees, the UK’s first ambassador to Bolivia. In addition to the geo-political structure which underpins the book’s five sections, the introduction suggests pathways through the contributions focussed on public art and graffiti, women, children, cyberspace and diplomacy, and reconstruction and disintegration. Seeing in Spanish includes 50 illustrations—stills from films, photographs, reproductions of paintings, and screen grabs from the internet—which complement the chapters’ analyses of aspects of Hispanic visual cultures. To aid accessibility, footnotes throughout the book provide English translations of all references from texts in other languages. Taken together, the book’s 22 chapters make a valuable contribution to the existing literature on figures like Don Quixote and Saint Teresa. They also break new ground in approaches to novel areas of scholarship such as sleeve design, artisanal book production, and digital image manipulation. The book will appeal to students and scholars of Spain and Latin America as well as to a general readership with an interest in the visual cultures of the Spanish speaking world.

Book excerpt: Almodovar, Amenabar, Bunuel... mais aussi Bayona, Del Toro, Inarritu : cet extraordinaire volume a le mérite de faire connaître, outre les productions des grands maîtres internationaux, d'autres cinéastes, d'autres histoires et genres cinématographiques qui - bien que (presque) totalement inconnus, pour nous ont, dans leur pays d'origine, attiré des millions de spectateurs dans les salles de cinéma, consacré des acteurs et actrices de talent, reflété des bouleversements politiques aux répercussions planétaires, porte des prix lors de compétitions prestigieuses et souvent influencé les styles et les thématiques des grands réalisateurs américains et européens. Fiche après fiche, ce livre raconte et synthétise - pour la première fois de manière aussi complète - le meilleur du cinéma en langue espagnole, plaçant côte à côte des films a but "commercial" et des films "engagés", les oeuvres des réalisateurs les plus reconnus et les débuts des jeunes espoirs du cinéma mexicain ou uruguayen, des films distribués en France et d'autres uniquement a l'étranger. Avec pour résultat, non seulement une multitude d'informations, d'images et de noms, mais un cadre d'ensemble culturel et artistique d'une exceptionnelle profondeur, qui met en lumière des oeuvres et des auteurs peu connus et enrichit d'un sens nouveau nombre de films célèbres, de L'Ange exterminateur a Tout sur ma mère, du Labyrinthe de Pan à L'Orphelinat, d'Amours chiennes à Mar adentro.
Download or read book The Sons of Night written by Antoine Gimenez and published by AK Press. This book was released on 2019-03-12 with total page 562 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Sons of Night is two, or more, books in one. The first is Antoine Gimenez's memoir of his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, an engaging tale of heroism and intrigue. The remaining three-quarters of the manuscript is a record of the fascination his memoir held for a group of historians—the "Gimenologists"—and the multiple paths of research and inquiry it led them down. Book Two begins with eighty-two "endnotes" to the memoir, each the equivalent of a chapter that follows a particular historical thread or explores a question raised by Gimenez's text. This is followed by the biographies of various people appearing in the memoir, many based on the friendships the historians formed with the now-elderly revolutionaries. The book closes with an Afterword discussing theoretical issues raised by the memoir and seven appendices. Also includes an Introduction by Spanish historian Julián Vadillo Muñoz.
