In \u003ci\u003eInhabiting the In-Between: Childhood and Cinema in Spain's Long Transition\u003c\/i\u003e, Sarah Thomas analyses the cinematic child within this complex historical conjuncture of a nation looking back on decades of authoritarian rule and forward to an uncertain future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eExamining films from several genres by four key directors of the Transition - Carlos Saura, Antonio Mercero, V兤tor Erice, and Jaime de Armin - Thomas explores how the child is represented as both subject and object, and self and other, and consistently cast in a position between categories or binary poles. She demonstrates how the cinematic child that materializes in this period is a fundamentally shifting, oscillating, ambivalent figure that points toward the impossibility of fully comprehending the historical past and the figure of the other, while inviting an ethical engagement with each.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sarah Thomas\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1487504888\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781487504885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/31\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2020","brand":"Sarah Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44073706488063,"sku":"9781487504885","price":85.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fcfa2a25-58d8-4326-8e99-b2c924063920.jpg?v=1685449418","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/inhabiting-the-in-between-sarah-thomas-9781487504885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
