This article claims that such a criticism was misguided from the outset and that this film should be analysed as a rural melodrama, a genre particularly prolific in the 1950s. Furthermore, like many other Spanish rural melodramas, La venganza incorporates visual and dramatic motifs from the western to tell a story of revenge and, ultimately, reconciliation. Scholars have taken for granted that this film is an allegory of the Politics of National Reconciliation approved by the Communist Party of Spain in 1956, but have seldom discussed these politics regarding its use of genre. This article addresses how and why Bardem used the genres of the rural melodrama and the western to convey such a political message.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"90 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48834847","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}

By focusing on the film’s brief, yet poignant portrayals of Africans and Afro-descendants and the film’s representations of sex and miscegenation, I argue that ¡Cómo está el servicio! demonstrates the ways that concepts of national purity remain inextricably linked to a politics of the home and the preservation of white womanhood against perceived threats of outside contamination, explicitly articulated through race. Indeed, ¡Cómo está el servicio! visually expresses the ways that appropriate white womanhood linked to domesticity enables women to succeed in an inward-looking Catholic society that simultaneously exalts capitalist principles in order to survive.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"23 1","pages":"105 - 121"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48927801","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}

Through combining (Latin American) cultural studies with gender studies and queer theory, I answer the following research questions: How has the neoliberal logic capitalized and normalized queer bodies, relationships, and masculinities? And how has Better created a series of discursive strategies to combat or reproduce such capitalization and normalization? Therefore, this study contributes to understanding the relationship between neoliberalism and sex-gender-marginalized identities as well as to showing how language use and cultural artifacts contribute to maintaining or questioning the normalization of Colombian queer masculinities.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"631 - 647"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47509021","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}

The local elites defended themselves successfully against the invasion, with little help from the distant Iberian Peninsula, and it was this that convinced them they did not really need the crown’s support. Blanchard’s study provides a powerful corrective on the traditional view that creoles were unhappy with the colonial arrangement. Had the elites not wanted to remain under the control of the Spanish crown, the British invasion would have been an excellent moment to declare independence. Instead, monarchical sentiment surged as the elites joined the enslaved and the Indigenous in rallying around to defend the viceroyalty as a part of a greater monarchy. Paradoxically, the fact that they defended themselves without the support of the crown convinced many that they did not really need their support. It was this conviction that eventually led to the process of independence when the context changed once again after Napoleon captured the King of Spain. By paying attention to the voices found in the archive, Blanchard presents a novel view of a period that has tended to be seen as a preamble for independence. He shows that this was actually a moment of profound loyalty. The comparison of three different cities is particularly illuminating, as is the attention Blanchard pays to different social groups, including elites, middling sectors, and the subaltern. This approach allows him to present a nuanced and detailed picture of a period that is complex and little understood.","PeriodicalId":42561,"journal":{"name":"Hispanic Research Journal-Iberian and Latin American Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"664 - 665"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-11-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42295611","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}

The fourth and final section, “Legacies of the Spanish Civil War, 1939–1944,” looks at soldiers’ experiences and military culture in the early 1940s. The three chapters comprising this section ultimately show, through their discussions of gender ideals, Blue Division soldiers, and veterans, that the official end of the Spanish war on April 1, 1939 did not set in motion a straightforward process of demobilization. Spanish society remained highly militarized, at least until the mid-1940s. To expand the chronological framework of this study on the Spanish war beyond 1939 makes perfect sense, in other words, and chimes with other recent research problematizing the notion of the 1940s in Spain as a “post-war” period. Overall, then, this anthology is a welcome addition to the English language historiography on the Spanish Civil War. It covers an impressively wide range of topics while still maintaining a sense of thematic coherence. The value of its multi-layered, holistic approach to social and military history is clearly on display, although the short lengths of individual chapters mean that we mostly—if understandably—get rather general descriptions of grassroots perspectives, as if summarized “from above,” rather than any direct sense of grassroots voices. It would also have been good to include a concluding section, summarizing and reflecting on the individual chapters’ main findings. Still, there is no doubt that the scholarship included here will benefit students and professional historians alike. The Spanish Civil War, as a subject of historical and historiographical debate, is still far from being exhausted.

She notes that the numerical superiority of women is much clearer where the Centre-Right won, although it was mainly women who abstained from voting all together, and she also considers the ages and occupations of voters; younger people and those who had some level of education were more likely to vote. It is a fascinating piece that will be enjoyed by readers interested in the politics of the Second Republic. Leaping to the end of the Spanish Civil War, Blanco Fajardo, and P erez Mart ınez’s chapters cover the entire dictatorship and explore the role played by radio in reinforcing models of masculinity and femininity as perpetuated by Francoism. Blanco Fajardo introduces the concept of the radio as a technology that not only constructed a normative profile of femininity and masculinity, but also became a means of controlling the domestic sphere. He also highlights the significance of the radionovela which perpetuated Francoist ideals in various ways, including articulating a capitalist economy. P erez Mart ınez follows on from this by examining the various formats and genres of radio programmes that were aimed at a female audience in great depth, and highlights how the radio was a part of a network of institutions that supported the superstructural apparatus of the dictatorship (377). Both essays will appeal to those researching any aspect of women’s history or communication under Francoism. Claudia Jare~ no Gila’s chapter “Amistades, redes y colaboraci on: una mirada «gen etica» sobre el Proyecto colectivo de Vindicaci on Feminista (1976–1979)” brings the collection to a fitting close. Looking at the inception and creation of the feminist magazine, Jare~ no Gila argues that the project was born of the conscience and will to create an exclusively female and feminist vehicle of expression and explores the contributions of the network of Spanish feminists such as Lidia Falc on, Carmen Alcalde, and Montserrat Roig to its pages. Additionally, Jare~ no Gila notes that the magazine was one of the first voices that demanded emotional and legal reparation for the victims of Francoism during the Transition. Acci on y voces de mujer en el espacio p ublico is a long overdue publication that will be gratefully received by Hispanists and those working in women’s studies more generally. An ambitious book that is wide in its scope, it is an invaluable resource for those working on historical memory and women’s biography and will be a significant addition to any feminist bookshelf.
