Entre la migración forzosa y la transición poscinematográfica. Cine, museo y arqueología de los medios
Partiendo de la habitual presencia de la tecnología y dispositivos cinematográficos en la obra de muchos artistas contemporáneos, el presente texto analiza la forma en la que la historia del cine ha sido exhibida en el museo y la sala de exposiciones en las últimas décadas. Se plantea pues que el interés en la materialidad no solo plantea soluciones a los habituales problemas relacionados con los distintos tipos de experiencia y temporalidad asoc…

Un cambio suave
El presente número de Anales de Historia del Arte llega con una serie de cambios.

El cambio suave que esperamos guíe nuestro hacer a partir de ahora pasará por fortalecer algunos de los valores que forman parte ya del ADN de…

Reflexiones en torno a la experiencia cinematográfica. El cine de Víctor Erice desde el cambio de siglo
Este artículo analiza la producción de Víctor Erice en el siglo XXI entendiéndola como especialmente significativa para ilustrar algunos de los cambios del cine español de esos años. El análisis se centra en la forma en que estas obras (corto- y mediometrajes, fragmentos de obras colectivas, ensayos fílmicos, documentales e instalaciones para museos) han planteado una reflexión sobre la experiencia cinematográfica. Para explorar esta relación ent…
Cinefilia transicional
En los años que cierran la transición española, la revista Casablanca, Papeles de Cine (1981–1985) planteó una nueva forma de consumir y escribir sobre el medio que rompía con importantes principios de la crítica cinematográfica nacional. En un contexto en el que una parte del debate cinematográfico había estado fuertemente ligada a un discurso politizado, comprometido, de oposición al régimen, Casablanca recuperaba una mirada nostálgica y apasio…

From Stalinism to Cinephilia
This article analyses the institutional developments in East German film culture during the 1950s and focuses on the so far under-researched filmaktiv movement (groups of individuals engaged in the promotion and discussion of films along political guidelines), and on a first wave of film clubs that arose around 1956. The study will illuminate the role played by both initiatives in the context of the state cultural policies as well as within a bro…
Framing Political Change
This article chooses a comparative approach in order to analyze the role played by mass media during the attempted coup d’état in Spain starting on 23 February 1981 and the opening of the Berlin Wall in November 1989. Both episodes demonstrate the media's capacity to articulate political change through their contextualization of particular events. The text focuses on the capacity of the media to frame political episodes, to generate interpretatio…
The Filmography of Guinea-Bissau's Sana Na N'Hada
This essay offers a critical assessment of the work of Sana Na N'Hada, one of the most important cultural producers of Guinea-Bissau, centering on his documentaries, The Return of Amílcar Cabral (1976) and Bissau d'Isabel (2005), as well as the feature films, Xime (1994) e Kadjike (2013). Through his feature films and documentaries, Sana has been creating an audiovisual archive spanning the late colonial and early postcolonial periods that is key…
Una ‘tradición de calidad’ española. Consideraciones industriales, temáticas y estéticas en torno a las películas de Interés Nacional (1944–1964)
From 1944 to 1964, the Francoist regime recognized 99 films, most of them Spanish productions, with the award of ‘Interés Nacional’ (National Interest). The analysis of these titles has traditionally focused on their position within a set of measures controlling and monitoring the national production. However, the awarded films also offer a reflection of what the regime considered a Spanish ‘tradition of quality’ in which industrial, ideological,…
Cineclubs y las políticas de la cultura cinematográfica en España y la RDA en torno a 1960
This study provides a contrastive analysis of the film cultures in Francoist Spain and the German Democratic Republic in the late 1950s and early 1960s. In the context of this period of classic cinephilia, the article focuses on the institutional position of film clubs and on their function as ‘places of negotiation’ in which different forces and interests collided: more or less independent film activists acted within, against, or parallel to sta…
Film Clubs and the Politics of Film Culture in Spain and the GDR around 1960

Un cine leído. Cultura cinematográfica, censura y especulaciones en la España de la década de los sesenta
Desde finales de los años cincuenta, mientras el público más conservador abandonaba de forma paulatina las salas de cine por el televisor doméstico y otras formas de ocio, nuevos grupos cinéfilos promovieron una forma de consumo cinematográfico más apasionada y especializada. Este proceso, observable en la mayoría de los países europeos durante esa década, presentó en la España franquista una serie de características diferenciadoras. Así, las sig…

Film criticism as a political weapon
This article focuses on the Spanish communist film journal Nuestro Cinema (1932–1935). It analyses its textual production as well as its role within a broader network of film activism that included left-wing film distribution, the founding of film clubs and the promotion of amateur cinema. The essay looks at its position as a product of the ideological radicalization that characterized the evolution of the European film avant-garde from the late …

Portuguese-Brazilian (Dis)Connections
Focusing on Luso-Brazilian cultural relations through recent history, this essay offers a series of reflections from within the realm of mentalities and the symbolic regarding the current state of the relationship between Portugal and Brazil, with special attention given to the fields of high and popular culture, media, and geopolitics
The Renaissance of Angolan Cinema
This article offers a critical review of recent Angolan films that together constitute a renaissance of cinema in Angola, thanks to the normalization that has been made possible during the post-war years. The films The Hero by Zézé Gamboa (2004) and Hollow City by Maria João Ganga (2004) are discussed within the context of the emergence of cinema in Angola, which is indissociable from the larger historical and political context since independence
Migrations and the Rise of African Lisbon
Portugal is arguably the European nation with the longest experience with “colonialism” in a variety of configurations, historical moments, and geographical contexts. Yet, given its perennially peripheral status from a geopolitical and economic standpoint, the Portuguese (post-)colonial experience has not been an object of attention outside of the field of Lusophone Studies. This essay provides a brief historical overview to understand the breadt…
Lusophone Africa
This book is a study of the contemporary cultural production of Portuguese-speaking Africa and its critical engagement with globalization in the aftermath of colonialism, especially since the advent of multiparty politics and market-oriented economies. Exploring the evolving relationship of Lusophone Africa with Portugal, its former colonial power, and Brazil, this book situates the countries on the geopolitical map of contemporary global forces.…
