Through a range of case studies that run from Goya’s paintings, humor, and gender representations in radio programmes during the first Franco regime, developmentalist cinema of the sixties and seventies, to the transformation of female humor in social media, the book traces the core role that the comical has played in the public sphere. The contributors to this volume represent a wide range of disciplines including gender studies, humour studies and Hispanic studies and offer international perspectives on Spanish laughter.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmContributor: Antonio Calvo Maturana (Edited by)Author: Antonio Calvo MaturanaGenre: Society & CultureTopic: HistoryBook Series: Studies in Latin American and Spanish HistoryItem Weight: 1.52 poundsgType: Politics & GovernmentRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
