Book Description
Al tiempo que la zarzuela va desapareciendo a lo largo del siglo XX, surge un nuevo medio de comunicación popular, el cine. En ningún otro país, la sustitución lenta y paulatina del propio teatro lírico por el cine se realizó de manera tan fluida como en España. Por consiguiente, hasta el emblemático Teatro de la Zarzuela de Madrid se transformó en sala de cine y hubo temporadas en que la denominación se cambió por la de Cine de la Zarzuela. Sin duda alguna, en ambos medios la música desempeña un papel fundamental, muchas veces con la función enfática de poner de relieve a uno de sus personajes, de acompañar tipo leitmotiv a un individuo o grupo destacado o de dar énfasis a personajes antes periféricos que justamente a través de la música ganan estatus y voz. Tanto la zarzuela como el cine sirven como medios populares de representación y traducción cultural de grupos sociales. El objetivo de este libro es, por tanto, doble: por un lado, quiere mostrar el papel de grupos sociales marginales en los medios de comunicación populares, siguiendo la historia de su escenificación en la zarzuela y el cine a través de los últimos siglos en España y Latinoamérica. Por otro lado, quiere examinar el cambio de registro, de voz y de representación en ambos medios populares.

New Mythological Figures in Spanish Cinema

Pages : 331
Book Description
In the 1970s, especially after Franco's death in 1975, Spanish cinema was bursting at the seams. Numerous film directors broke free from the ancient taboos which had reigned under the dictatorship. They introduced characters who, through their bodies, transgress the traditional borders of social, cultural and sexual identities. Post- Franco cinema exhibits women, homosexuals, transsexuals, and delinquents in new and challenging ways.Under Franco rule, all of these dissident bodies were 'lost'. Here, they reflect new mythological figures, inhabiting an idealised body form (a prototypical body).

Cinesonidos

ISBN: 0190671300
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 289
Book Description
During Mexico's silent (1896-1930) and early sound (1931-52) periods, cinema saw the development of five significant genres: the prostitute melodrama (including the cabaretera subgenre), the indigenista film (on indigenous themes or topics), the cine de a oranza porfiriana (films of Porfirian nostalgia), the Revolution film, and the comedia ranchera (ranch comedy). In this book, author Jacqueline Avila looks at examples from all genres, exploring the ways that the popular, regional, and orchestral music in these films contributed to the creation of tropes and archetypes now central to Mexican cultural nationalism. Integrating primary source material--including newspaper articles, advertisements, films--with film music studies, sound studies, and Mexican film and cultural history, Avila examines how these tropes and archetypes mirrored changing perceptions of mexicanidad manufactured by the State and popular and transnational culture. As she shows, several social and political agencies were heavily invested in creating a unified national identity in an attempt to merge the previously fragmented populace as a result of the Revolution. The commercial medium of film became an important tool to acquaint a diverse urban audience with the nuances of Mexican national identity, and music played an essential and persuasive role in the process. In this heterogeneous environment, cinema and its music continuously reshaped the contested, fluctuating space of Mexican identity, functioning both as a sign and symptom of social and political change.

Documenting Cityscapes
Author: Iván Villarmea Álvarez
Publisher: Columbia University Press
ISBN: 0231850786
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
While film studies has traditionally treated the presence of the city in film as an urban text operating inside of a cinematic one, this approach has recently evolved into the study of cinema as a technology of place. From this perspective, Documenting Cityscapes explores the way the city has been depicted by nonfiction filmmakers since the late 1970s, paying particular attention to three aesthetic tendencies: documentary landscaping, urban self-portraits, and metafilmic strategies. Through the formal analysis of fifteen works from six different countries, this volume investigates how the rise of subjectivity has helped to develop a kind of gaze that is closer to citizens than to the institutions and corporations responsible for recent major transformations. Documenting Cityscapes therefore reveals the extent to which cinema has become an agent of urban change, in which certain films not only challenge the most controversial policies of late capitalism but also are able to produce spatiality themselves.

The Routledge Handbook to Spanish Film Music
Author: Laura Miranda
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1040101364
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
The Routledge Handbook to Spanish Film Music provides a significant contribution to the research and history of Spanish film music, exploring the interdependence and ways in which discourses of sound and vision are constructed dialogically in Spanish cinema, with contributions from leading international researchers from Spain, the USA, the UK, France and Germany. Offering a multifocal and multidisciplinary study between related areas such as music studies, film studies and Spanish cultural studies, this book is divided into four sections, covering the early years of Spanish cinema; the 1940s and 1950s in Spanish cinema—the first decades of the Franco dictatorship; the importance of Fraga Iribarne’s slogan, “Spain is different,” to promote Spain’s new openness to the world in the 1960s and 1970s; and Spanish cinema since the arrival of democracy in 1978, including discussion of contemporary Spanish cinema. The growing interest in Spanish cinema calls for the publication of studies about the role of music in its political and socio-cultural framework. This is therefore a valuable text for music and film scholars and professionals, university undergraduates and music conservatory students.

Popular Music in Spanish Cinema
Author: Lidia López Gómez
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000933776
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
Popular Music in Spanish Cinema analyses the aesthetics and stylistic development of soundtracks from national productions, considering how political instability and cultural diversity in Spain determined the ways of making art and managing culture. As a pioneering study in this field, the chronologically structured approach of this book provides readers with a complete overview of Spanish music and connects it to the complex historical events that conditioned Spanish culture throughout the 20th century to the present day, from the Second Republic, the Spanish Civil war, and the dictatorship through to democracy. The book enables an understanding of the relationships between the recording and film production industries, the construction of collective imagination, the formulation of new stereotypes, semiotic meanings within film music and the musical exchanges between national and international cinema. This volume is an essential read for students and academics in the field of musicology, ethnomusicology and history as well as those interested in the study of diverse musical styles such as copla, zarzuela, flamenco, jazz, foxtrot, pop and rock and how they have been used in Spanish films throughout history.
