The book explores four major issues in this regard: 1) the filmic negotiations of the borders of the nation, focusing particularly on the debated and controversial development of Basque cinema vis-a-vis the films produced in the rest of Spain; 2) the persistence of the old obsession with violence, thought of as an inescapable native trait, in a large amount of post-dictatorial films; 3) the newfound insatiable appetite for cinematic travelling, for going out and coming in through all possible variations of the road and travel movie genres; 4) and the vindication of the mother qua a benign emblem of the land and its people, of the nation. There is a narrative in Spanish cinema, taken as a collective discourse, which ties together these four cinematic topoi and proposes a nation whose specificity must be precisely its impurity-difference within as essence-a hybrid nation located in temporal and spatial rendezvous of past and present, tradition and novelty, centre and margin, inside and outside, on and beyond. 650 0 $a Motion pictures $z Spain $x History $y 20th century. 651 0 $a Spain $x In motion pictures. 650 0 $a Nationalism in motion pictures. 650 0 $a National characteristics, Spanish, in motion pictures. 830 0 $a Contemporary Hispanic and Lusophone cultures. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211021152.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20170907011002.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8CB83BA4774811E7923FA1BEDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
