El análisis permite constatar que la película refuerza, a pesar del contexto censor, el posicionamiento crítico que subyacía en el texto de Laforet respecto a los valores patriarcales imperantes en la posguerra española. A partir de la detección de ciertas estrategias de guion, interpretación y puesta en escena, se demuestra que Conchita Montes y Edgar Neville apostaron por visibilizar la autonomía femenina, la sororidad y la expresión desinhibida de sentimientos afectivos entre mujeres. El film, que supuso un gran fracaso en el momento del estreno, se convierte, así, en una obra merecedora de revisión académica, en tanto que portadora de un incipiente “discurso feminista” (Martin-Márquez 1999) muy difícil de encontrar en el cine español del primer franquismo.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"39 - 55"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47795203","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Desde la perspectiva masculina que tradicionalmente ha dominado el discurso cómico, el carácter bufo de este personaje bebe de tropos misóginos y edadistas. En la producción cinematográfica española son frecuentes las comedias de costumbres en torno a la pareja y/o la familia donde la suegra aparece como una fuerza antagónica al protagonista varón. Si bien las suegras suelen ser personajes de reparto relegados a apariciones breves, los largometrajes Maldición gitana (Jerónimo Mihura, 1953) y Despedida de soltero (Eugenio Martín, 1959) que aquí se estudian les conceden un inusitado protagonismo. A partir de convenciones propias de la comedia basada en la guerra de los sexos, la suegra aparece como un ser grotesco pero que goza de poder, astucia y tesón para enfrentarse al orden que el hombre pretende imponer. Si bien las transgresiones cómicas de estos personajes pueden invitar a una risa punitiva y conservadora que refuerza el orden patriarcal, existen posibilidades de lectura heterodoxas que habilitan una risa más liberadora y disruptiva hacia las normas de género.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"56 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47799779","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What is less well known is that, as a young man between 1926 and 1933, he lived and worked in Los Angeles as a Hollywood extra and bit player. Using textual analysis of his small appearances in five key films, this article shifts the focus onto the under-studied figure of the extra to explore Fernández’s little known sojourn in Hollywood. It argues that allowing attention to be drawn away from the centre of the films to Fernández on the margins makes space for a centering of Latinx experiences in early sound era Hollywood otherwise ignored in scholarship, and for a greater understanding of the role extras played in shifting representational imperatives as the film industry made its transition to sound.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"3 - 23"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43397121","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With readings informed by elements of Lacanian thought, this paper explores the emergence of a messy, defective law and its implications for the mediatory qualities of language and the experience of subjectivity. I begin by arguing that the films make use of failures in communication to disrupt the paternal myth and the law of the signifier as these concepts are discussed in Lacanian thought. I then examine how these same disorienting forces also affect the imaginary support of the unified subject: Buñuel’s camera often reduces the prefigured image of subjects into piecemeal assemblages of partial objects or blends these images with surroundings. This paper concludes with a discussion of how El ángel generates visual lacunae that respond to this disorder. Unlike in La Mort, which portrays an authority that attempts to impose order in response to these gaps, El ángel produces sense through them, in a function understood by the term “extimacy.” This concept describes a foundation that is simultaneously intimate and exterior, and it is crucial to affirm the singularity of the subject before the mechanical operations of the signifier.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"73 - 89"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41379720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
