Netflix' Spain: Critical Perspectives

PUBLISHER Routledge (10/02/2023)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description

This edited collection analyzes the tensions, contradictions, contributions, and new horizons generated and/or imposed by Netflix within Spain's audiovisual culture.

This book provides invaluable insight into how Netflix--first in its role as distributor and then as content creator--has changed the audiovisual landscape in Spain. It discusses how Netflix challenges the traditional method of categorizing film and television output by nationality while also examining how Spain is presented to other countries through the Netflix catalog and questioning what its chosen output--light comedies, mystery/thrillers, narco-fiction, and crime--means for Spain's national brand. With chapters addressing themes such as reproducibility, pan-Europeanism after Brexit, gender representation, identity, and globalization, this book explores how--under the influence of Netflix--Spain is transitioning from an importer of audiovisual content to a center of export.

This book will appeal to students and scholars of Film and Media Studies, Hispanic and Iberian Studies, and Spanish with a specific interest in Spanish film, television, media, and culture, as well as global media industries.
