Call for Papers
The I International Congress "The cinematographic stardom in Spain": 
Actresses under Francoism intends to open a way of thinking upon the 
cinematographic star-system in Spain, and, particularly, upon the 
actresses' role during Franco's dictatorship. This initiative is part of 
the research project REPRESENTATIONS OF FEMALE DESIRE IN SPANISH CINEMA 
DURING FRANCOISM: THE GESTURAL EVOLUTION OF THE ACTRESS UNDER CENSORSHIP 
(Spanish Ministry of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness, REF: 
CSO2017-83083-P).
To this extent, the aim is to gather specialists in Spanish cinema 
history and the Star Studies methodologies to think about the role of 
the female stars during Francoism concerning the behaviours that the 
regime had established for women. We are interested in the normative 
models, as much as possible contradictions, transgressions, and 
alternatives inside the industry itself generated by the actresses on 
and off the screen. Moreover, we are interested, mainly, in the possible 
elements of creative subjectivity that actresses played in the 
configuration of their roles as stars and constructing the characters 
they played.


Paper Submission Guidelines
There will be accepted, after being evaluated and selected, the 
proposals which address some of the following research lines, always 
within the framework of Spanish cinema during Franco's dictatorship and 
the actresses as an object of study:

1. Building of the cinematographic star in Spain. Industrial and 
advertising strategies in the consolidation of female stars.

2. Creative subjectivity of the actress in her Star Image or Screen Image.

3. Comparatives between stardom in Francoist Spain and other models of 
international star system.

4. Comparatives between stardom in Francoist Spain and other periods of 
Spanish cinema history.

5. From the theatre scene to the cinematographic screen.

6. Actresses and models.
