Summary

This book has set out to map a Spanish queer cinema made up of a network of images, moments and stories of emotional commitment, of community affiliation, and of political or artistic intent. These have been shown to be inflected by sexuality and by a fast-changing politics of gender in an unusual period in the history of Spain. Produced by the many connections and disconnections between the films, formats, writers, feelings and crises, queer as a concept attaching to Spanish cinema and to its ambient cultures has shifted scene by scene or from one film or sampling to another. I have researched some audiences through their reactions in print and hypothesised others, putting together possible or ideal viewing schedules and patterns of leisure consumption or of casual, domestic reconnection with images of LGBTQ life, just for comfort, entertainment or reassurance. The several modes of engagement available to the participant in, and recipient of, these queer Spanish images reconfigure imaginations whether through a resistant and politicised viewing or filmmaking strategy, by identification with fictional and non-fictional personalities, or by rethinking (or simply extending) some older forms of identity – and rights-based lesbian and gay political stories.
