Catalan Cinema
Catalan Cinema offers a theoretical reading of the most relevant cinematic productions to emerge from Catalonia in the last twenty years. The essays in this collection examine cinema in relation to the Escola de Barcelona (The Barcelona School), a group of cinema directors that drew inspiration from British pop-art, Free Cinema, and the Nouvelle Vague to create works that defied and challenged the Franco dictatorship. Highlighting the aesthetic, social, and political elements of Catalan cinematography, contributors to this volume explore what young directors have in common with works created by more notable directors such as Joaquim Jordà, Jacinto Esteva, Jordi Grau, and Pere Portabella. Catalan Cinema focuses on the importance of modern production and its connection with the avant-garde and underground cinema from the Barcelona School. Establishing a cinematic genealogy, the volume ultimately questions if Catalan cinema’s own push for self-expression may be interpreted as a connection to Catalonia’s current drive for independence.

The Splendor and Opulence of the Past
The Splendor and Opulence of the Past traces the career of Jaume Caresmar (1717–1791), a church historian and a key figure of the Catalan Enlightenment who transcribed tens of thousands of parchments to preserve and glorify Catalonia's medieval past in the face of its diminishing autonomy. As Paul Freedman shows, Caresmar's books, essays, and transcriptions—some only recently discovered—provide fresh insights into the Middle Ages as remembered in modern Catalonia and illustrate how a nation's past glories and humiliations can inform contemporary politics and culture. From the ninth to the sixteenth centuries, Catalonia was a thriving, independent set of principalities within what would...

Catalan Cuisine
Catalonia, located in Spain's far north-east corner and centred around the port of Barcelona, has its own cuisine and culture which has spread to encompass Valencia, the Balearic Islands (Majorca, Minorca and Ibiza), Andorra, the ancient region of France formerly known as Roussilon, and a single city on the Italian island of Sardinia. Colman Andrews explores this whole territory of Catalan cooking, from its French, Roman and Moorish roots to today's modern interpretation. Along the way he creates a portrait of the food, wine, history and culture of the region.
Matanza de Texas, La. (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre). Tobe Hooper (1974)
El estreno de La matanza de Texas cambió de manera radical y definitiva el devenir del cine de terror, convirtiéndose en un nítido ejemplo de lo que el género ha constituido temática, narrativa y formalmente en su periodo moderno. Cuatro décadas después de su realización, La matanza de Texas continúa influyendo en nuevas generaciones de cineastas e infundiendo terror a aquellos espectadores que se acercan a ella por primera vez merced al intenso estado de sugestión en el que Hooper sume a su público mediante la conjunción de un inteligente uso del montaje, unas imágenes con un look decididamente insalubre y sucio, la adopción de rasgos formales más propios del cine documental que del de ficción y una banda sonora conformada por incómodos efectos sonoros, entre otros recursos que el presente libro examina con minuciosidad.
Ladrón de bicicletas. (Ladri di biciclette). Vittorio De Sica (1948)
Ladrón de bicicletas, una de las más logradas colaboraciones entre el director Vittorio De Sica y el guionista Cesare Zavattini, es una película esencial en la historia del cine. Ante todo, porque se trata de un filme admirable y que sigue emocionando –ese era su gran objetivo– de una manera similar a como lo hizo en su estreno. Pero también porque es una de las más esclarecedoras muestras del neorrealismo italiano, una tendencia cinematográfica que desde la posguerra, e incluso antes, estaba empezando a sentar las bases de la futura modernidad fílmica, y que influiría considerablemente en el cine mundial.La película narra algo tan habitual en la Roma de entonces como el robo de...
