The (neoliberal) feminism of global SVOD platforms, Netflix’s inclusion policy, and the negotiations of women audiovisual creators
Gender equality and diversity discourses intertwined with the implementation of the EU audiovisual media services directive in Lithuania, Spain, and Sweden
In the face of recent challenges to gender equality and diversity, most European countries feature such policies in their support schemes for film production and in regulation of public service television. Moreover, global streaming platforms such as Netflix have made inclusion policies part of their brand. In an effort to unpack how EU-policies are intertwined with inclusion efforts, this article investigates gender equality and diversity discou…
Race-ing Masculinity
Studies about representations of Latinidad in US and European media have identified stereotypes like criminalization and hypersexualization. Furthermore, it has been argued that comedy operates as a double-edged sword in exposing racism, as humor can be deployed to simultaneously mask/justify and show/denounce racial discrimination and monolithic representations of Latinidad. Using a feminist intersectional perspective that foregrounds constructi…
Debating Sexual Consent in the Teen Series The Hockey Girls
This article analyses discussion of a narrative concerning sexual consent in a 2019 Spanish television series broadcast on Netflix called Les de l’Hoquei (The Hockey Girls). A thematic analysis was conducted on 105 comments made in response to three posts on the show’s official Instagram account (all dated 27 May 2019), which summarise the series’ storyline about the absence of sexual consent in the relationship between two main characters. The f…
Queerfeminist Strategies for the Reconstruction of Spanish Memories of the Civil War and Franco’s Dictatorship in El cuarto de atrás (1978) and Cartas a María (2015)
Queerfeminist strategies in the reconstruction of memories, such as performative uses of fantasy in (auto)biographical (non)fiction texts, can bring out what has been repressed by androcentric narratives of History. Through memory dispositives, which trigger frictions between past and present, fiction and reality, creators manage to confront trauma. This is illustrated by close reading two works dealing with (post)memories of the Spanish Civil Wa…

Comparing gender equality policies in the Swedish and Spanish film industries
Gender equality measures are now common in the policies of European film industries and can be an important tool for rendering visible gender inequalities. Recent research, however, indicates that top-down institutional gender mainstreaming might mean better conditions for some women in certain aspects, but structural inequalities tend to remain, including lack of an intersectional approach. In this article, these issues are addressed by analysin…
Entanglements of feminist activism and gender equality policy in the Spanish and Swedish film industries
This article compares entanglements between activist demands and policy in the Spanish and Swedish film industries using a critical frames approach.Considering contextual factors such as domestic discourse on film policy and resistance against gender equality, the comparison is based on deep insider knowledge aiming to deepen the understanding of feminist activism and its relation to policy in the two countries.In both Spain and Sweden, activists…
Subverting technologies of gender in male-dominated gender regimes
This article analyses (self)representations of women filmmakers active in the Swedish and Spanish film industries, looking at how “technologies of gender,” as theorised by Teresa de Lauretis, work to resist change within the industry’s “gender regimes” (as conceptualised by Raewyn Connell), but are also simultaneously reinvented by women film workers. Even though the gender regimes of Spain and Sweden are quite different, and despite the diversit…
Opposition to gender quotas in Sweden and Spain
Feminist counter-cinema and decolonial countervisuality
In this article we analyse the Italian compilation films Un’ora sola ti vorrei (Alina Marazzi, 2002) and Pays Barbare (Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi, 2013) as examples, respectively, of feminist counter-cinema and decolonial countervisuality working with and against audiovisual archives. By means of a close-reading of the two films from an intersectional feminist perspective, we discuss: on the one hand, the ways in which Marazzi cont…
Implementing gender equality policies in the Spanish film industry
Over the last decade, gender equality measures like positive actions in public funding have been implemented in the Spanish film industry. This article discusses these measures by looking at both the gender order that has been embedded in the Spanish film governance regime since its origins and the ways in which such gender order re-emerges in the current context as expressed by women film workers. Two persistent prejudices that can be traced bac…
Queer Gender Performativity in Documentary Cinema
This article analyses the ways in which Italian filmmaker Simone Cangelosi enacts a queer countervisuality in his documentary films Dalla testa ai piedi (2007) and Una nobile rivoluzione (2014). The theoretical framework traces a genealogy from what has been termed as fe/male gazes up to what can be understood as transgender, queer and feminist gazes. Connections between the performative mode of representation, performative documentary cinema and…
Feminist Documentary Cinema as a Diffraction Apparatus
Following Karen Barad's diffractive methodology, we encounter feminist documentary cinema as a diffraction apparatus: that is, as technologies that make part of the world intelligible to another part of the world in specific ways, by means of intra-actions between human and non-human agencies and objects of observation. We propose three analytical tools: materiality, emotionality, and performativity. In this article, we analyse two Spanish docume…
Feminist documentary cinema as a diffraction apparatus for the visualisation of care labour
This essay analyses the Spanish documentary film Cuidado, resbala (María Camacho Gómez, Montserrat Clos Fabuel, Mercedes Cordero Suárez, Vanessa Gómez Martínez, Carolina Suarez Rasmussen and Leonor Jiménez Moreno, 2013) as a diffraction apparatus that renders visible gendered inequalities surrounding care labour in the current socio-economic system. The title of Cuidado, resbala plays with the two meanings of the word “cuidado” in Spanish and can…
