Opis

The Two cines con nino' is the first genre study of Spanish-language child-starred cinemas. It illuminates continuities in the political use of the child protagonist in over fifty years of Spanish cinema and how the child-starred genres use the concept of childhood to retrospectively define the nation and its future.
