Hispanic and Lusophone Women Filmmakers: Theory, Practice and Difference

This collective volume offers a comprehensive and theorised appraisal of the work of women filmmakers in Iberia and Latin America. The co-editors carefully commissioned contributions and developed a framework in which gender is traversed by other theoretical fields that relate to the historical and political contexts of their films. The co-editors worked closely with all the authors to ensure that the volume present a coherent argument, set out in the co-written introduction. While emphasizing transnational trends, this volume argues that women filmmakers have placed gender within the parameters of nation, class, race and other related paradigms to enable political expression.
