Reconceptualising Almodóvar's films as theoretical and political resources, this innovative book examines a neglected aspect of his cinema: its engagement with the traumatic past, with subjective and collective memory, and with the ethical and political meanings that result from this engagement. With close readings of Almodóvar's films from the 1990s and 2000s, including \u003ci\u003eBad Education\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Skin I Live In\u003c\/i\u003e, Julián Daniel Gutiérrez-Albilla explores how Almodóvar's cinema mourns and witnesses the traces of trauma, drawing on theoretical approaches from trauma studies, psychoanalysis, philosophy, film studies and visual studies to suggest that his work proposes an ethical model based on our compassionate relations to others, and envisions a world co-inhabited by plurality and difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julián Daniel Gutiérrez-Albilla\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474431674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474431675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Julián Daniel Gutiérrez-Albilla","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48995774628095,"sku":"9781474431675","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/aesthetics-ethics-and-trauma-in-julizan-daniel-gutizsrrez-albilla-9781474431675","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
