Filmspanism explores the geopolitics of knowledge involved in academic approaches to Spanish cinema. This companion rethinks the role of disciplinarity, institutionality, and nationality in the study of film by taking into account a rather specific set of contentious issues, intellectual traditions, discursive servitudes, and invested scholarship. To that end, the book explores the topics of art cinema, popular culture, film genre, and transnationalism, always with Spanish cinema as its concrete object of study. An insightful contribution to the study of Spanish cinema, this discussion will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in Hispanic Studies and Film Studies.

This book sheds light on the role that grievances play for mobilisation dynamics in a context of material deprivation. Why do people protest? To what extent do grievances account for the varying size of protest events over time? Covering different levels of analysis, the author argues that effects of socioeconomic aspects (both objective-material deprivation and subjective-attitudinal grievances) are mediated by political attitudes, especially political dissatisfaction. He develops a framework to account for the dynamics, trajectory and timing of the cycle of contention that unfolded in Spain in the shadow of the Great Recession, contributing not only to the field of social movement studies but to our broader understanding of European politics, political sociology, political economy and economic sociology.

"Indiscreet Fantasies: Iberian Queer Cinema is a collection of fifteen essays, each focusing on a queer film by a prominent Iberian filmmaker. The films studied here span nearly five decades, beginning with Narciso Ibáñez Serrador's La residencia (The House That Screamed, 1970) and ending with João Pedro Rodrigues' O ornitólogo (The Ornithologist, 2016). The first of its kind for English-speaking readers, this book examines the work of filmmakers Ventura Pons, Cesc Gay, Marta Balletbò-Coll, Paulo Rocha, Roberto Castón, Ignacio Vilar, and Pedro Almodóvar, among others, from various Iberian cultural and linguistic cultures, including that of Portugal, Catalonia, Galicia, and the Basque Country. Rather than presenting a historical survey of Iberian queer films, Indiscreet Fantasies encourages a deep reading of each film, sends readers to other related films/writings, and fosters meditation on the ways these films cast light on particular moments and aspects of contemporary Iberian queer issues in history and society"-- Provided by publisher.

Anarchist Socialism in Early 20th Century Spain is the first English translation of and critical introduction to Ideario, a collection of newspaper and journal articles written by Spanish anarchist Ricardo Mella. Given that Mella is virtually unknown to the English-speaking world, this book provides readers access to his extensive body of work about Spain, human nature, and a world increasingly dominated by capitalism. Suitable for both the general public interested in learning more about anarchist ideas and for scholars studying twentieth-century Spain, the three introductory essays help to introduce Mella, ground his work in the context of Spanish anarchism, and draw connections between Mella and the urban in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century Spain. Stephen Luis Vilaseca's translation is accessible and engaging.
