      abstract = {"The Politics of Age and Disability in Contemporary  Spanish Film examines the onscreen construction of  adolescent, elderly, and disabled subjects in Spanish  cinema from 1992 to the present. Applying a dual lens of  film analysis and theory drawn from the allied fields of  youth, age, and disability studies, this study is set both  within and against a conversation on cultural  diversity--with respect to gender, sexual, and ethnic  identity--which has driven not only much of the past  decade's most visible and fruitful scholarship on  representation in Spanish film, but also the broader  parameters of discourse on post--Transition Spain in the  humanities. Presenting an engaging, and heretofore  under-explored, interdisciplinary approach to images of  multiculturalism in what has emerged as one of recent  Spain's most vibrant areas of cultural production, this  book brings a fresh, while still complementary, critical  sensibility to the field of contemporary Peninsular film  studies through its detailed discussion of six contemporary  films (by Salvador García Ruiz, Achero Mañas, Santiago  Aguilar & Luis Guridi, Marcos Carnevale, Alejandro  Amenábar, and Pedro Almodóvar) and supporting reference  to the production of other prominent and emerging  filmmakers"--},
