Pérez interrogates the assumption that after 1957, when the Franco regime recast itself in a secular and modernizing fashion, religion vanished from the cultural field. Instead, Spanish cinema addressed the transformation within Spanish Catholicism following Vatican II and Spain\u0026amp;#x2019;s modernization processes. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003eConfessional Cinema offers the first analysis of a neglected body of Spanish films, \"nun films,\" which focus on the active role of religious women in the transformation of Spanish Catholicism. Pérez argues that commercial films, despite being less aesthetically accomplished, delved more than oppositional, art-house films into the fluctuating zeitgeist of the development years regarding the transformations within Spanish Catholicism. \u003ci\u003eConfessional Cinema\u003c\/i\u003e offers a provocative and original analysis of the significance of religion not from a theological point of view, but rather as a socio-political force and cultural determinant in the Spanish public sphere of this period, known as \u003ci\u003edesarrollismo\u003c\/i\u003e (development years) from 1960-1975. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction: Film, Religion, and the \u003ci\u003eDesarrollismo\u003c\/i\u003e periodChapter 1: Lighting Sainthood in the Time of Technocracy\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: Praying for Development in Post-Vatican II Comedies \u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: Gender and Modernization in Nun Films \u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Narratives of Suspicion: Religion in the \u003ci\u003eNuevo Cine Español\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003cbr\u003eNotes \u003cbr\u003eWorks Cited\u003cbr\u003eFilmography\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52595449004312,"sku":"9781487501082","price":42.59,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/confessional-cinema-religion-film-and-modernity-in-spains-development-years-1960-1975-hardback-9781487501082","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
