Mobile soundscapes in the quinqui film
In exploring the role of the songs in the quinqui film, this chapter demonstrates how they can contribute towards the understanding of the relationship between sound and space. The music articulates a structure of spatial mobility - in both the movement of migration routes, and the consumption of the songs as mobile objects through the prominent use of car stereos in the films - that is central to the shaping of migrant youth subculture during th…

Spanish sound studies
Recent decades have seen a growing interest in “sound studies”, a field of study that addresses the role of the auditory in culture and society. Sound studies is best understood as encompassing a b
Accelerated rhythms and sonic routes
This article explores the phenomenon known as the “Ruta del Bakalao”, a hugely popular dance scene that first emerged in nightclubs in Valencia in the 1980s and spread across the whole of Spain in the early 1990s. In particular, the article provides an archaeology of the subculture and its music by considering the distinctive ways in which it appropriated time and space. It focusses on the significance of the accelerated rhythms of the music and …
Crime, Knowledge and the Photographic Object in La isla mínima
This article explores the role of photography in the recent Spanish crime thriller La isla mínima (2014). It argues that the indexicality of the photographic object is the key to the allegorical message of the film, in which the criminal investigation also serves an historical investigation into the compromises that were made in the name of Spain’s transition to democracy. The photographic object in turn both reveals and conceals the extent to wh…
Locating the Voice in Film
Ghostly resonance
The recent Spanish films Las olas (Alberto Morais, 2011) and Dies d'agost (Marc Recha, 2006) are haunted by sound. Of the recent flurry of films to turn on the theme of historical memory, Las olas and Dies d'agost stand out as distinctive in their particular sensitivity to sound design, and their shared concern with the act of listening. As this article shows, the films explore the relationship between sound and memory: like sound, memory is evan…
Locating “la voz”
This article explores the cultural location of the dubbed voice in Spain. Dubbed films presently account for 80% of all films viewed in Spain, yet despite their overwhelming presence in Spanish everyday life, its dubbing actors have received very little scholarly attention to date. If, according to Mladen Dolar, the human voice is "the intimate kernel of subjectivity", how might a viewer begin to identify with a star persona that is clearly incom…
Between the dirty and the pretty
This article demonstrates how Stephen Frears’ 2002 British film Dirty Pretty Things can further our understanding of the paradoxical structures of globalized space. In examining the interdisciplinary relationship between geography and film, it will examine the ways in which a contemporary, globalized London is constructed of two conflicting, but mutually reinforcing geographical imaginations. Western political parties have often been quick to pro…
