Studies in Spanish & Latin American Cinemas
This edited volume examines the historical, political, cultural, and aesthetic implications of re-visiting Restoration Spain (1874-1931) in television costume dramas produced since 2000. Contributors analyze, from different theoretical approaches and disciplinary perspectives, the appeal that the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries hold for twenty-first-century Spanish audiences, as well as for international viewers who consume these programs through new media platforms. Themes and issues explored include: the production of televisual heritage, representations of period technologies, evolving constructions of gender, hybridization of television genres, and television as historian. Expanding the scope of inquiry in Spanish media studies, this collection seeks to bring Spain into wider discussions of media and historical representation and visual and material culture in Europe, the Americas, and beyond.

The main goal is to observe how fictions represent and incorporate in their plots the intense changes that have undergone sexuality and affection in our societies. The analysis addresses the construction of characters and the heteronormative and homonormative relationships, as well as the various nuances with which the feminine and the masculine are represented in TV fiction.
Obitel 2015: Gender Relations in Television Fiction
This article examines two recent Spanish television texts which depict Picasso and his masterpiece Guernica. It argues that 'Genius Picasso', in traditional biopic style, reduces the political to the personal, while 'El Ministerio del Tiempo', in a more positive version of TV pedagogy, reinserts the personal into the political, framing the painting as part of the collective narrative of democracy lost and regained in Spain.
