The acute processes of globalisation at
the turn of the century have generated an increased interest in exploring the
interactions between the so-called global cultural products or trends and their
specific local manifestations. Even though cross-cultural connections are
becoming more patent in filmic productions in the last decades, cinema per se
has always been characterized by its hybrid, transnational, border-crossing
nature. From its own inception, Spanish film production was soon tied to the
Hollywood film industry for its subsistence, but other film traditions such as
those in the Soviet Union, France, Germany and, in particular, Italy also
determined either directly or indirectly the development of Spanish cinema.
Global Genres, Local
Films: The Transnational Dimension of Spanish Cinema reaches beyond the limits of the film text
and analyses and contextualizes the impact of global film trends and genres on
Spanish cinema in order to study how they helped articulate specific national
challenges from the conflict between liberalism and tradition in the first
decades of the 20th century to the management of the contemporary financial
crisis. This collection provides the first comprehensive picture of the complex
national and supranational forces that have shaped Spanish films, revealing the
tensions and the intricate dialogue between cross-cultural aesthetic and
narrative models on the one hand, and indigenous traditions on the other, as
well as the political and historical contingencies these different expressions
responded to.
