[ecrea] Call for Articles. Global Genres/Local Films: The Transnational Dimension of Spanish Cinema

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

GLOBAL GENRES/LOCAL FILMS: THE TRANSNATIONAL DIMENSION OF SPANISH CINEMA

Cinema, Culture and Society
University of Zaragoza

This is a second CFP looking for specific contributions for a volume on
transnational Spanish cinema currently under consideration by
Bloomsbury. The book examines the interactions between world cinemas and
the Spanish film industry. It is framed by a notion of the filmic text
as an artistic form of expression equally linked both to dynamics of
genre transformation and hybridization, and to its historical and
cultural context. The ultimate goal of this publication is to study the
adoption of film genres by Spanish cinema and analyze the ways in which
transnational genre conventions have evolved in response to the
particular political, social and cultural upheavals besetting Spanish
society.

In this second round we are specifically looking for articles about the
interactions between global genres and Spanish cinema on the following
topics:

-History of the transition to sound in early Spanish cinema.
-Spanish cinema during the Second Republic.
-Spanish and Latin-American co-productions in the 1940s and 1950s.
-“Nuevo Cine Español” and the film festival aesthetics.
-Indigenous Spanish genres from the 1960s to the 1980s (e.g. quinqui
cinema, musicals, spaghetti western, cine con niño, comedia sexy
ibérica, etc.) and their transnational influences.
-Features of film production in contemporary Spanish cinema.

Please contact the editors with expressions of interest by 15 July.
