To Love and Kill for Pleasure: Almodóvar's Ludic Matador
Almodóvar, responding to puritanical Spanish culture, argues that the pursuit of pleasure is natural, that anyone seeking pleasure according to their nature is not perverse. In Matador, as elsewhere, he develops this argument with remarkable playfulness. Much specialist literature on contemporary Spanish film in general and Almodóvar and Matador in particular is about post-Franco changes in the representation of sex and gender. The film subverts …
Cubanos , Americans and Modes of Being Between in pre-Castro Cuba
In pre-Castro Cuba cubanos familiar with American culture were part of a wider society that included cubanos who were also American and Americans familiar with Cuban culture. Familiarity, however, was not explicitly coded in national identity. A sense of being can depend on assumptions and practices that are common without being explicitly coded as collective, much less as distinctive of the collective. If we attend only to that which is explicit…
Images of war: Picasso'sGuernica
Picasso painted Guernica following the bombing by German aeroplanes of the Basque town of that name during the Spanish Civil War of 1936–39. The painting provoked controversy and remains controversial. Its symbolism puzzles because of the discrepancy between its central images and the bombing.

Truth and Myth in History: An Example from the Spanish Civil War
Truth and Myth in History: An Example from the Spanish Civil War Any story of a past event is determined only in part by the event itself. The story is also determined by the circumstances in which it is told. The teller always constructs the story to suit the circumstances of the telling-the audience, the time, the place, the teller's identity and sense of what is appropriate. The teller selects from the possible elements of the tale those that …
The Myth of Primitive Spain
biological information might affect these roles. For an extreme example, is it not related to the woolly concepts about nature/nurture that the topic of genetic engineering causes such hot debate? While some expressions in the media suggest that it is every child's 'right' that we ameliorate its defective diet, adjustment of a future child's defective DNA is frequently described as 'unthinkable' or 'the thin end' of some science fiction 'wedge'. …

Social Class and Patron-Clientage in Andalusia: Some Problems of Comparing Ethnographies
Pitt-Rivers' pioneering work in Andalusia, Spain has been criticised by Martinez-Alier and Gilmore for over-emphasizing patron-clientage and under-emphasizing social class. The critiques raise empirical and epistemological issues. Material from the small mountain city of Ronda presented here extends the empirical range, supports the view that class is an important factor in Andalusia but suggests that its effects are not independent of the operat…
