Creadores queer en el cine español del franquismo
subcultura homosexual y género
Lomas Martínez, Santiago
In the Spanish cinema of the Franco regime, various queer creators worked for decades as directors, screenwriters or producers, despite the strong restriction of freedoms and the existence of censorship. This book studies, from queer perspectives, how these creators, most of them homosexual, used codes, traditions and references of the homosexual subculture from their historical context. Specifically, it analyzes how they developed shared creative constants around what has traditionally been thought of as femininity. The films starring women allowed them to place the man in the position of object of desire and generate abundant stories where the frustration of desire or the transgression of social norms were recurrent elements. The book is divided into three parts: the first two study how these creators worked with particular interest the conventions of women's melodrama and musical films starring divas singers; the third evidences how, since the sixties, they were leaving behind the melodramatic to recover the camp as a subcultural tradition, based on excess, irony and self-conscious humor.
