How Tourism Imaginary has been Updated in the New Spanish Sun-and-Beach Comedy: Fin de curso, Atasco en la nacional and Benidorm, mon amour by Salvador Martínez Puche, Antonio Martínez Puche

“…This ‘development-era’ comedic film production was prolific, successful and in line with Spain’s propaganda, political and socioeconomic interests in the 1960s and 1970s. Its narrative and expressive codes can still be found in films that fall into the españolada supra-genre and use some of those clichés—now recycled and updated—in their form and content. …”

O parricídio como espetáculo da violência: O dia em que matei meu pai by Aileen El-Kadi

“…The first person narrative voice in the novel by Mario Sabino, O dia em que matei meu pai, builds an universe composed of two coordinates, one follows the logic of subjective pleasure/perversion where the characters show social pathology des- cribed by the narrator as a result of a context governed by psychological violence and amorality, and where the dynamics is always erotic, the other component is spectacular as the axis from which the characters seem to represent roles built based on stereotypes that arise from mass culture. …”

Sublime Gaps by Antoine Dechêne

Affinités électives de la littérature espagnole avec la philosophie by Thierry Nallet

“…The examples chosen here are taken from philosophical essays with a strong literary component coming from José Antonio Marina and above all from the narrative opus of Álvaro Pombo.
