{"product_id":"spanish-visual-culture-paul-julian-smith-9780719075360","title":"Spanish Visual Culture: Cinema, Television, Internet","description":"This book is the first to explore three visual media in contemporary Spain: cinema, television and the internet. It also examines cultural products in each of these media in terms of three vital themes: emotion, location and nostalgia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe first two chapters focus on emotion. They analyze the 'emotional imperative' in a recent Almodar feature film and in Spanish television's top-rated period drama, and investigate the politics of affect in TV drama in the last decade. The next pair of chapters deal with location. They use 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. The fifth and sixth chapters introduce the theme of location into nostalgia. They treat the unique cases of a successful Spanish heritage movie and a contemporary Spanish thriller remade in Hollywood. The peunultimate chapter investigates electronic artists and the virtual universe, and the book ends with a look at the implications of Hispano-Mexican co-productions and the interconnectedness of economic and aesthetic cultural forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Julian Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 071907536X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719075360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.38h x 5.69w x 0.60d","brand":"Paul Julian Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44120111743231,"sku":"9780719075360","price":23.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_06220250-92c3-49f3-8be2-b0806a130bf5.jpg?v=1687412615","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spanish-visual-culture-paul-julian-smith-9780719075360","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
