Strict censorship in both countries limited the themes and artistic practices adopted, while a specific cinematographic language, in many cases full of metaphors and symbolism, sought alternatives to the imposed official discourse and preconceived definitions of supposed national identities. By contrast, the arrival of democracy from the 1970s onwards widened not just the panorama of film production and criticism, but also opened the film industry to women’s participation in areas historically assigned to men.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFocusing on Portuguese and Spanish cinema, this collection brings together research about women and their status in relation to Iberian filmic culture. The volume contributes to ongoing debates about the position of women in the cinemas of Portugal and Spain from interdisciplinary and feminist perspectives as well as new accounts of film history. It also aims to promote comparisons between Iberian cinemas and visual culture, a topic that is almost unexplored in academia, despite the similar histories of the two countries, particularly throughout the twentieth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e'What Women in Iberian Filmic Culture does particularly well is to bring together various perspectives that cover the less obvious aspect of women’s contributions to the Iberian film industries. Forming some unusual connections between disciplines that rarely feature in history books, and focusing on contributions that often happen in the background and remain unaccounted for, we are effectively presented with an alternative vision of female resistance (and persistence), while also making a difficult journey through an otherwise male dominated field. [...] Women in Iberian Filmic Culture is therefore a refreshing read, appreciating the input that generations of women have made to shape the filmmaking industry on the Iberian Peninsula.'\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e -- Agata Lulkowska, Studies in European Cinema\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction: Women in Iberian cinemas, a singular tour in Spain and Portugal \u003c\/strong\u003e– \u003cem\u003eElena Cordero-Hoyo and Begoña Soto-Vázquez\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 1: The presence of women in Iberian cinemas\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eFiction as a Place of Power: The Presence of Female Directors Throughout the History of Portuguese Cinema – \u003cem\u003eAna Catarina Pereira \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Invisible Women of Spanish Cinema – \u003cem\u003eAnnette Scholz \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTrês dias sem Deus\u003c\/em\u003e by Bárbara Virgínia, a Different Way of Representation – \u003cem\u003eRicardo Vieira Lisboa \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 2: Killing the muse: Women as creator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eGender Violence and Historical Memory in Margarida Cardoso and Isabel Coixet – \u003cem\u003eEstela Vieira\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e‘People Don’t Understand [the] World’: The Limits of Transnational Authorship in the Cinema of Isabel Coixet – \u003cem\u003eKatarzyna Paszkiewicz \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMurmuring Colonial Ghosts in Margarida Cardoso’s Filmography – \u003cem\u003eAdriana Martins \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 3: Beyond the author: Recognizing other cinematographic professions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWeaving a Cinematographic Culture and Writing about Film or How to Reconstruct the Subject of Women in Spanish Silent Cinema – \u003cem\u003eBegoña Soto-Vázquez \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eA Woman Censor during the Portuguese Dictatorship (1968–74) – \u003cem\u003eAna Bela Mor\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eais \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCostume Designers in Portugal: A Trade Between Art and Technique Relegated to the Status of ‘a Woman’s Thing’ – \u003cem\u003eCaterina Cucinotta \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart 4: Historical memory and the gendered archive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eParadigms – Women Filmmakers in 1970s Revolutionary Portugal – Delgado, Nordlund, Cordeiro and Serra – \u003cem\u003eÉrica Faleiro Rodrigues \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe Mother Awaits: Woman and Landscape in Galician Non-Fiction Cinema – \u003cem\u003eMª Soliña Barreiro González \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eExploring the Portuguese Memory through Appropriation Film: \u003cem\u003eA toca do lobo\u003c\/em\u003e (Mourão, 2015) – \u003cem\u003eElena Cordero-Hoyo \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eNotes on contributors\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042573386071,"sku":"9781789381528","price":81.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/women-in-iberian-filmic-culture-a-feminist-approach-to-the-cinemas-of-portugal-and-spain-9781789381528","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
