 | | While there is no question that a close correspondence exists between apertura and destape, my study goes beyond the true but rather obvious assertion that political liberalization tends to bring about greater permissivity in matters of sexuality and erotic representation. |
| | What I aim to demonstrate is how, and to what degree, between 1962 and 1982 eroticism repeatedly became a site for the negotiation of political interests and ideas, and how the visual and verbal discourses of erotic film and media often functioned--implicitly or explicitly--as substitutes, or supplements, of political discourses. |
| | Given the import of the topic and the interdisciplinarity of my research, this work will appeal to a wide variety of readers, from those interested in contemporary Spanish social and intellectual history, politics, literature, film, media, and mass culture, to those engaged in women’s studies and questions of eroticism, censorship, and representation. |
