Description de l'ouvrage :
Oxford Studies in Modern European Culture • A key contribution to the growing fields of Spanish Cultural and Film Studies
• Focuses on the careers of ten Spanish film actors, including Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem, and Eduardo Noriega
• Combines close study of performance in specific scenes with the theoretical paradigms of Star Studies and research into masculinities
Stars and Masculinities in Spanish Cinema focuses on the careers of ten Spanish film actors, including Antonio Banderas, Javier Bardem, and Eduardo Noriega. Chris Perriam traces their development as stars in the Spanish context and builds on recent, exciting work on Spanish film and culture by combining close study of performance in specific scenes with the theoretical paradigms of Star Studies and research into masculinities. Full use of popular and intellectual press coverage of these actors grounds the approach in the certain specifics of Spanish audience responses and production contexts in the period covered - more or less from Almodòvar's Labyrinth of Passion to the latest premieres. Scenes from thirty key films are covered in detail, and the full range of each star's Spanish career is studied by briefer reference to some seventy films or more. Spanish cinema is among the most exciting and distinctive cinemas in Europe and this new study is a key contribution to the growing fields of Spanish Cultural and Film Studies.
À propos de l'auteur :
Chris Perriam, Professor of Hispanic Studies, University of Newcastle
Revue de Presse :
"... a critically informed, beautifully written, lucid account of each actor's oeuvre ... Throughout, the author provides meticulous analysis of films that have, in some cases, been extensively treated elsewhere. What distinguishes Perriam's approach is the fact that the analysis is always grounded in a complex mapping of the stars' on-screen identities and their intersections with off-screen personas, socio-economic factors, and the cultural climate of post-Franco Spain ... ground-breaking ... impeccable scholarship ... exemplary work." - Modern Language Review
"Perriam is able to juggle films from chapter to chapter without ever allowing the material to appear jaded or repetitive." - Modern Language Review
