Author Steven Marsh is an established scholar of Spanish cinema.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><em>Spanish Cinema against Itself</em> maps the evolution of Spanish surrealist and politically committed cinematic traditions from their origins in the 1930s--with the work of Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí, experimentalist José Val de Omar, and militant documentary filmmaker Carlos Velo--through to the contemporary period. Framed by film theory this book traces the works of understudied and non-canonical Spanish filmmakers, producers, and film collectives to open up alternate, more cosmopolitan and philosophical spaces for film discussion. In an age of the post-national and the postcinematic, Steven Marsh's work challenges conventional historiographical discourse, the concept of national cinema, and questions of form in cinematic practice.</p></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Steven Marsh is Professor of Spanish Film and Cultural Studies at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is author of <i>Popular Spanish Film Under Franco: Comedy and the Weakening of the State</i> and editor (with Parvati Nair) of <i>Gender and Spanish Cinema</i>.</p>
