Cuadernos Mensuales del Colectivo de la Historieta, the work of a collective of twenty-six comics professionals who came together to give voice and visibility to the profession and to propagate a type of comic that was adult, responsible and critical. Through an examination of the publication’s history, its members and its contents, the article maps the networks and creative alliances coalescing around TROCHA in order to trace the interconnectedness of the collective with contemporaneous visual print media. It also examines the ways in which contributors to TROCHA, aligned to left-wing ideologies, engaged with the ‘here and now’ of the Spanish Transition to Democracy in a critical—albeit ephemeral—form. The individual case study serves to explore broader zones of production encouraged by collective experience and by shared cultural practices, with a view to shedding light upon a visual culture of the Left.","PeriodicalId":37212,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"187 - 208"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24741604.2020.1825134","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42352104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present study represents a survey of some 44 state-produced documents and 124 journalistic pieces, applying a two-pronged methodology rooted in discourse analysis with a special focus on the content and themes deemed unfit for publication in the pages of El Papus. The results will show that a loosening of erotic and sexual mores, particularly those related to Spanish women—who were quickly emerging as political subjects in the 1970s—became the magazine’s preferred tool for interrogating the repressive structures underpinning Francoist society. As the administration and the judiciary grappled with the evolution of social norms before and during the Transition, they sought to decelerate the shifts taking place by publicly accusing editors and contributors of profanity, indecency, and/or immorality in court documents from the period. As argued here, El Papus played a decisive role in the interrogation of Francoist family values throughout the 1970s: (re)negotiating practices related to the freedom of expression in countercultural media produced in Spain.","PeriodicalId":37212,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"209 - 237"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24741604.2020.1825126","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42927365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By examining the historical context and analysing the film and texts by Ivens and Collingwood, I argue that re-enactment is in tension with the ethical responsibilities of documentary vis-à-vis criteria of authenticity. With re-enactment, Ivens inserts fictive elements into documentary even as he remains loyal to a certain ‘truth’ about the war, forging a style that is based on political documentary but which blurs the frontier between performativity and reality.","PeriodicalId":37212,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"1 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24741604.2020.1684716","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43197546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The works studied in this article (an open letter to FONDART, ‘Big Money’, ‘Soy Terrorista: Anti Postal 6, al Mapuche en huelga de hambre,’ ‘Inmaculado Corazón’ and ‘Limpieza colectiva como obra de arte’) address the issues of consumerism and art, the environment, and religion and sexuality but they are united by an overarching project which challenges the commodification and institutionalization of culture by seeking out new outlets and audiences. In so doing, Neira seeks to occupy what she terms ‘zonas intersticiales’ (in-between spaces) or a ‘zona peligrosa’ (danger zone). This terminology, however, alerts, us to the inevitable contradictions in her practice as she resists, but is inevitably part of, the cultural field which she critiques. Neira’s work, therefore, is significant because it helps us to understand resistance as relational and not as something that is ‘outside’ or disengaged from that which it resists. Whilst her work alerts us to the limits of resistance, so too does it suggest more inclusive artistic practices which prioritize a sense of interconnectedness and community.","PeriodicalId":37212,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of Spanish Visual Studies","volume":"4 1","pages":"124 - 93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/24741604.2020.1726066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41896678","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In effect, as the Introduction to this volume underscores, although the erotic has been the focus of much academic writing on Spanish cinema, this edited collection is unique in its focus on what may be defined as ‘Spanish erotic cinema’, thereby using the erotic as an enabling analytical category that remains connected to wider issues, including ‘age, class, gender, modernity, national identities, race[,] religion or sexualities’ (10). Such an imbrication foregrounds the complex ways and the multiple layers through which subjectivities and bodies are constructed and textured in Spanish cinema. The volume is characterized by its historical rigour and theoretical sophistication, as well as by its engagement with fascinating close readings of a wide range of Spanish films and cinematic genres across historical periods and regions. Spanish Erotic Cinema is conceived chronologically to pay attention to ‘the evolution of what we may understand as erotic in the Spanish cinema production of the last hundred years or so’ (10). Yet, this edited collection never falls into a teleological conception of history which would perpetuate an over-familiar, if not exhausted, narrative of historical progress that is based on moving from sexual repression, especially during the almost forty years of the Franco dictatorship, to sexual liberation, starting with the so-called destape films that were produced during the Spanish Transition to the cinema produced in our contemporary democratic, neo-liberal period. This reader found deeply refreshing the volume’s serious critical attention to the so-called destape films and how such academic attention coincides with a recent revival of these films in contemporary Spanish cinema. While this edited collection inevitably refers to film classification in Spain, once censorship was abolished during the Spanish political Transition from dictatorship to democracy, which designated erotic films with an ‘S’ and pornographic films with an ‘X’, the volume complicates clear-cut distinctions between the pornographic and the erotic. The latter, associated with the promise of ‘some sexually explicit content while preventing the alienation of audiences who may not yet be ready to watch porn’ (5), can function within and beyond the strictly pornographic. Or, as Roland Barthes beautifully argues in his study of photography (Camera Lucida: Reflections on Photography, trans. Richard Howard [New York: Hill and Wang, 1983]), the erotic can be displaced from the representation of the naked body to the effects of the texture of the underwear worn by the male model in the Robert Mapplethorpe photograph.
