E-raamat: Visualizing Spanish Modernity [Taylor & Francis e-raamat]

This book seeks to deepen an understanding of the often overlooked nature of Spanish modernity by putting recent work on visual culture and modernity in a specifically Spanish historical context. This volume examines how mass print culture, early cinema, popular drama, photography, fashion, painting, museums and urban planning played a role in the way that Spanish society saw itself and was in turn seen by the rest of the world. The authors consider such subjects as the spectacle of the body, notions of race and gender, the changing meanings of time, space and motion, popular culture, and the celebration of the new.
