Specifically, I look at how residents of both the self-built neighbourhoods (demolished or soon-to-be) and public housing responded to the Projeto Especial de Realojamento through an analysis of two films, the documentary Outros Bairros and the fictional short film Nada Fazi , which represent a sort of ‘before and after’ of those government efforts. The residents’ voices and stories are compared to each other and set against a backdrop of journalistic reporting and sociological studies.","PeriodicalId":41910,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IBERIAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80194701","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}

Drawing on recent historical and theoretical literature that argues for a non-pejorative and analytical understanding of utopia, it brings renewed attention to this aspect of Spanish anarcho-syndicalism. The article focuses on the proposals for a definition of libertarian communism that were debated in the run up to and during the National Confederation of Labour’s (CNT) Zaragoza Congress in May 1936. It argues that a utopian imagination was central to the movement’s self-understanding and concrete achievements, and not confined to its more idealist currents.","PeriodicalId":41910,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IBERIAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91259063","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}

I filmed Pinheiro’s creative process when putting the play together. As I was filming, I found Anatomía dunha serea presented a reality that is still debated in Spain, disrupting the performative image of the pregnant woman that has been perpetuated in cultural production within western patriarchal society. In this article, I address how I use video essay as a research form to analyse the subversive nature of the play, looking at how Pinheiro uses parody as a device to disrupt, and how she confronts us with the image of the pregnant woman typically portrayed in films. Furthermore, what started as an investigation into the actor’s creative process turned into a personal exploration to understand more about the pregnant woman who infiltrates the Galician and Spanish imaginary. By analysing to what extent the image we get from films has been framed by the depictions of the pregnant Virgin Mary and how subversive portrayals in films are sometimes made invisible, I intend to challenge how we present the pregnant woman on screen.","PeriodicalId":41910,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IBERIAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79397558","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}

Non-canonical artistic formulations located on the fringes of, and often serving as a challenge to, mainstream Galician culture reveal new ways of thinking about gender from peripheral, non-hegemonic and decolonial positions. Galician women are engaging in creative and experimental forms of self-expression, self-production and consumption of culture by reconfiguring and ‘refashioning’ Galician feminisms and femininities within a global framework. Particularly timely in the wake of the #MeToo movement, 8M women’s strikes and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on gender equality, and with social media playing an ever more prominent role in the diffusion of grassroots feminist activism, contemporary Galician creative practice by, for and about women has much to teach us in how it challenges heteropatriarchal binaries and stereotypes.","PeriodicalId":41910,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF IBERIAN STUDIES","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80749646","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}
