It examines cultural products in each of these media through three vital themes: emotion, location, and nostalgia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters focus on emotion. They analyse the 'emotional imperative' in a recent Almodóvar feature film and in Spanish television's top-rated period drama, investigating the politics of affect in TV drama over the last decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe next pair of chapters deals with location. They utilise cultural geography to re-read contradictory accounts of the movida (the post-Franco cultural boom) and examine an attempt to anchor a US-derived genre (the youth movie) in the urban landscape of Madrid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fifth and sixth chapters introduce the theme of location into nostalgia. They address the unique cases of a successful Spanish heritage movie and a contemporary Spanish thriller remade in Hollywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe penultimate chapter investigates electronic artists and the virtual universe, culminating in a look at the implications of Hispano-Mexican co-productions and the interconnectedness of economic and aesthetic cultural forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598391394540,"sku":"9780719075360","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780719075360-spanish-visual-culture.jpg?v=1777966381","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/spanish-visual-culture-by-paul-julian-smith-9780719075360","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
