Stanley Kubrick
La carrera de Stanley Kubrick, iniciada hace casi cuatro décadas, exigua y proteica casi como ninguna otra en la historia del cine, ha estado marcada desde sus mismos comienzos por una autoexigencia, un rigor y un afán de controlar hasta los mínimos detalles de sus productos de todo punto inusuales. Los films realizados en los últimos años sobre todo - 2001, La naranja mecánica, Barry Lyndon, El resplandor, La chaqueta metálica - han supuesto verdaderos acontecimentos, cuyas repercusiones han trascendido casi siempre lo meramente cinematográfico para incidir de lleno en lo social. Sirva esta monografía del crítico Esteve Riambau para conocer mejor la obra de un creador a quien el mismísimo Orson Welles no dudó en calificar de gigante.
Moving Images
Seventeen essays examining the impact of new media on the history of cinema. In 1888, Thomas Edison announced that he was experimenting on “an instrument which does for the eye what the phonograph does for the ear, which is the recording and reproduction of things in motion.” Just as Edison’s investigations were framed in terms of the known technologies of the phonograph and the microscope, the essays in this collection address the contexts of innovation and reception that have framed the development of moving images in the last one hundred years. Three concerns are of particular interest: the contexts of innovation and reception for moving image technologies; the role of the observer,...

Queer Events
Queer Events studies the representations of queer subjectivities during the Spanish Transition era (1960s to 1990s), drawing on some of the most influential critical theorists and philosophers of our times (Gilles Deleuze, Giorgio Agamben, Alain Badiou). The book focuses on well-known Spanish authors and film-makers (Terenci Moix, Vicente Aranda) as well as on others who have merited far less critical attention so far (including Antonio Roig, Alberto Cardín, and the directors of the short-lived avant-garde film movement known as ‘Escuela de Barcelona’).
Spanishness in the Spanish Novel and Cinema of the 20th – 21st Century
Spanishness in the Spanish Novel and Cinema of the 20th-21st Century is an exploration of the general concept of “Spanishness” as all things related to Spain, specifically as the multiple meanings of “Spanishness” and the different ways of being Spanish are depicted in 20th-21st century literary and cinematic fiction of Spain. This book also represents a call for a re-evaluation of what being Spanish means not just in post-Franco Spain but also in the Spain of the new millennium. The reader will find treatments of some of the crucial themes in Spanish culture such as immigration, nationalisms, and affiliation with the European Union as well as many others of contemporary relevance such as time, memory, and women studies that defy exclusivist and clear-cut single notions of Spanishness. These explorations will help contextualize what it means to be Spanish in present day Spain and in the light of globalization while also dissipating stereotypical notions of Spain and Spanishness.
It’s All True
"This is an extremely rigorous, thorough piece of superior scholarship on one of the most important figures in the history of cinema. Benamou introduces a wealth of material on the production process and the repercussions of this project in Latin America, which have been entirely missing from earlier, auteur-centered accounts; this alone makes it a book of great importance. We can't ask for a more definitive, groundbreaking study than the one Benamou has given us."—Bill Nichols, author of Maya Deren and the American Avant-Garde
