Del escenario a la pantalla

Del escenario a la pantalla é do autor Gómez, María Asunción e tentar

This book, written in Spanish, explores an understudied aspect of Hispanic culture: the relationship between dramatic texts and their cinematic adaptations. It examines the transposition of form and ideology in cinematic versions of twentieth-century Spanish plays by Carlos Arniches, Ramón del Valle Inclán, Federico García Lorca, Victor  Ruíz Iriarte, Antonio Buero Vallejo, Fernando Fernán Gómez, and José Sanchis Sinisterra.The matters addressed include a historic overview of the relationship between cinema and theater in Spain, a comparative  study of the principles governing these two media, the use of self-reflexivity and metatextual strategies, and the transposition of ideology during critical periods of modern Spanish history, as well as  the construction of the female subject, the relationship between power structures and gender difference, and the representation of woman as a spectacle/commodity in selected film adaptations of Spanish  plays.
