By examining the figure of the new hero, a male protagonist with visible unconventional features, it explores new ways of gender representation on screen.

This book addresses contemporary discourses on a wide variety of topics related to the ideological and epistemological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries, and the ways in which they have shaped the Spanish language and cultural manifestations in both Spain and Hispanic America.
