Performance functions as a diversion from unsavoury realities. In this way, Pedro AlmodoÌvar's 2013 film I'm So Excited adopts a strategy of subversive anti-establishment censor-evading filmmaking practices under Franco. Contemporary cinematic performance in Spain intersects with politics to provide a platform for views and voices that do not conform to the dominant political narrative. An essential text for scholars, students and aficionados of Spanish cinema, Subversive Spanish Cinema: The Politics of Performance is the first single-authored monograph to focus on performance in this context. The book analyses interactions between performance and politics in technical and conceptual terms considering, for example, performance styles, the narrative role of performance and political interventions by actors such as Javier Bardem and Juan Diego Botto. Ultimately, Subversive Spanish Cinema: The Politics of Performance posits performance, within the specific context of contemporary Spanish cinema, as a politically-potent device and proposes that it is precisely for this reason that the arts have borne the brunt of aggressive austerity measures enforced by Spain's conservative government in recent years"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Performing pastness -- Performing identities -- Metaperformances -- Performance as catharsis and therapy. 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $x History $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Motion picture acting. 650 0 $a Government, Resistance to $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Government, Resistance to. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00945663 650 7 $a Motion picture acting. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027093 650 7 $a Motion pictures. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027285 650 7 $a Motion pictures $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01027353 651 7 $a Spain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204303 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Noble, Fiona. $t Subversive Spanish cinema. $d London ; New York : Bloomsbury Publishing (UK), 2020 $z 9781350152465 $w (DLC) 2020019119 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014337.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8B5CE32EE0211ECABFB385646ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
