Shifting Subjectivities in Contemporary Fiction and Film from Spain

This collection of essays analyzes shifting notions of self as represented in films and novels written and produced in Spain in the twenty-first century.

The primary avenues of exploration include representations of recovery in post-crisis Spain, marginalized texts and identities, silenced subjectivities, intersecting relationships, and spaces of desire and control.

In doing so, they build upon theories of identity, subjectivity, gender, history, memory, and normativity.
