España en su cine. Aprendiendo sociología con películas españolas
Los guiones de una película, aun siendo ficciones, se inscriben en lo cotidiano y nos facilitan un retrato imaginario de lo real, de la vida misma. Y su proyección en la pantalla nos permite interpretar a la sociedad con argumentos dialécticos, gracias a las imágenes y a las relaciones sociales que construyen los actores, con sus diálogos y silencios. Los autores son profesores en el área de las ciencias sociales procedentes de diferentes universidades que abordaron diferentes variables de la desigualdad: economía, género, migración, nacionalismo, salud, educación, etc. La idea original fue explicar lecciones de sociología a estudiantes universitarios recurriendo al visionado de películas que se ambientaban en problemáticas sociales. El cine español es un excelente filón cultural para expresar cómo evolucionan los conflictos sociales en la sociedad. Nuestro propósito es humilde aunque deseamos alimentar el sano debate sobre las sombras de las desigualdades sociales que las sucesivas cúpulas del poder en España no resolvieron, y cómo esa larga inestabilidad, personal, familiar y colectiva, aparece artísticamente representada en el cine de producción nacional.

“My breasts stopped growing when my grandfather touched them,” confides ‘Elisa’, a young woman who recounts the traumatic incest and sexual abuse she experienced in childhood.

Through gripping, emotional narrative, González-Lóp...
