Es nuestra historia, contada desde mi óptica, desde mis vivencias y desde mis sentimientos, encontrarán una sucesión de hechos políticos, religiosos y familiares que voy narrando. Algunos, como preludio de circunstancias que nos fueron afectando directa o indirectamente, y otros, vividos como protagonistas.\r A lo largo de estas páginas, podrá comprobarse que las opciones de vida siempre estuvieron inspiradas y alimentadas por la utopía de un mundo mejor. Muchos, imbuidos de una concepción cristiana de amor al prójimo; otros, no; pero todos lo hicieron por la justicia, la dignidad, el respeto a las ideas, el derecho a tener derechos. Y, en esa lucha, algunos pagaron con sus vidas, condenados por ser y pensar diferente a los intereses del poder de la dictadura que bañó de sangre el suelo argentino.
This book provides a comprehensive cultural and historical account of the key film policies put into place by the Spanish state between 1980 and 2010 through a gendered lens, framing these policies within the wider context of European film legislation. Departing from the belief that there is no such thing as an objective and value-neutral approach to policy analysis because our society is organised around gender, this volume builds upon Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of field to propose that film policies do not emerge in a vacuum because they respond to different demands from those agents involved in the field of the Spanish cinema. By so doing, it critically assesses how these policies have come into being, by whom, in response to what interests, how they have shaped the Spanish film industry, and how far and in what ways they have tackled gender inequality in the Spanish film industry. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of Spanish cinema, gender studies, film industry studies, film policy, and feminist film studies.

Migrant and Tourist Encounters: The Ethics of Im/mobility in 21st Century Dominican and Cuban Cultures analyzes the effects of clashing flows of voluntary and involuntary travelers to and from these countries due to an increase in migration and tourism during the last three decades. I compare the ways in which literary works and films reflect on and critique the power relations and ethics of im/mobility and encounter, both on the islands and in destinations abroad. The works draw attention to the interconnectedness of migration, tourism, and other forms of travel as well as immobility, and portray growing local and global inequalities through characters’ disparate access to free, voluntary movement. I consider how the works respond to the question of the moral potential of encounters produced by im/mobilities and the possibility of connection across differences. I argue that Dominican and Cuban artists not only critique neo-colonial paradigms of power and im/mobility, but envision and enact strategies for belonging and, in some cases, suggest a path toward de-colonial cosmopolitanism.
