(dir. Carlos Arévalo, 1941), ¡A mí la legión!/Follow the Legion (dir. Juan de Orduña, 1942) and Misión blanca/White Mission (dir. Juan de Orduña, 1946). The author argues that the films use desiring subjects as a propagandistic vehicle of Spain's imperial ventures that are put at the service of the Nationalist cause. While the decidedly homosocial colonial military setting has inspired a number of homoerotic readings focused on the strong male friendships celebrated by the films, the chapter critiques the misogynistic and racialised nature of those relationships. The very sublimation of desire implied in the 'masculine mystique' promoted in the narratives inspires in this case a different and innovative kind of queer reading.</p>

Drawing on a range of critical material, it examines the complicated nature of Goytisolo's writing and pays special attention to the crisis of representational language, sexual politics, terrorism and anarchy, race, religion and nationalism, and the ties between aesthetics, ethics, and politics.

Spanning the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries (a period traditionally known as the Golden Age), the volume examines topics including political and scientific culture, literary and artistic innovations, and religious and social identities and institutions in transformation. The 36 chapters of the volume include both expert overviews of key topics and figures from the period as well as new approaches to understudied questions and materials. This invaluable resource will be of interest to advanced students and scholars in Hispanic studies, as well as Renaissance and early modern studies more generally.

Junto a las historias y experiencias de un grupo de astrónomos, arqueólogos, geólogos y mujeres que buscan los restos de sus seres queridos en el desierto de Atacama, también se realiza una meditación sobre las posibilidades y limitaciones del quehacer cinematográfico en relación con la fotografía y la escritura “celeste” y “terrestre”.
