Focusing on the urban cultural phenomenon of la movida, she offers a sustained analysis of high queer culture, as represented by novels, along with an examination of low queer culture, as represented by comic books and films. Pérez-Sánchez shows that urban queer culture played a defining role in the cultural and political processes that helped to move Spain from a premodern, fascist military dictatorship to a late-capitalist, parliamentary democracy.The book highlights the contributions of women writers Ana María Moix and Cristina Peri Rossi, as well as comic book artists Ana Juan, Victoria Martos, Ana Miralles, and Asun Balzola. Its attention to women's cultural production functions as a counterpoint to its analysis of the works of such male writers as Juan Goytisolo and Eduardo Mendicutti, comic book artists Nazario, Rubén, and Luis Pérez Ortiz, and filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar.SUNY series in Latin American and Iberian thought and culture.Spanish literature20th centuryHistory and criticismHomosexuality in literatureLiterature and societySpainFascism and literatureSpainSpanish literatureHistory and criticism.Homosexuality in literature.Literature and societyFascism and literature860.9/353Perez-Sanchez Gema1965-1811587MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910975320103321Queer transitions in contemporary Spanish culture4363567UNINA
