Routledge Filmspanism: A Critical Companion to Spanish Cinema

Filmspanism: A Critical Companion to the Study of Spanish Cinema by Routledge offers a deep look into the geopolitics of knowledge within academic film studies. This book rethinks how disciplinarity, institutionality, and nationality affect the way we study film. By addressing specific intellectual traditions and contentious issues, it provides a fresh perspective on how scholarship is conducted in this field. Readers can explore diverse topics including art cinema, popular culture, film genre, and transnationalism. While these themes are broad, the book maintains a strict focus on Spanish cinema as its primary object of study. It serves as an insightful resource for students, researchers, and academics looking to understand the discursive servitudes and invested scholarship that shape the study of Spanish film today.
