Full textThe present investigation centers on the cinema known as “the uncovering” (“el destape”), which is defined by the eruption of naked bodies, mainly female, on cinema screens; a phenomenon that acquired great social and political significance in Spain and which is unparalleled in the cinema history of other countries. To analyse the cinema of “the uncovering” from a historical perspective, we have established the beginning of our investigation in the “celtiberic sexy comedies” that appeared in the last stages of Franco's dictatorship (tardofranquismo). A collection of very popular comedies which started to appear once the regime´s censorship was over, and where we find the roots of the need for sexual liberation, something that started to shape the phenomenon of “the uncovering”. Therefore if we consider that as its origin, we also need to consider the legalisation of porno films in 1984 as the end of the process, a factor that indicates the normalisation of sex in the lives of the Spanish people precisely when the democratic consolidation took place. During the approximately twenty years that covers our present investigation, we will see how the most consumed films were unveiling discourses around the female body which were closely linked to the weight of Francoist morality and the established gender order. Hence, we have mainly focused our research on analysing the discursive construction of male and female archetypes, homing in on the continuities and fissures of the gender order, using the revelation of the female form as a pretext. We have studied this cinema as a new source for a rereading of an arguably over-analysed historical period, but one where new and complex readings can certainly be made. In this way, we have differentiated films with nudity from films that uncover frustrated behaviours, emotions and desires, especially in the area of sexuality. The popular cinema of those years had an enormous capacity to entertain and thrill millions of Spanish people and thus was used as a means of transmitting the official Franco discourse, both to perpetuate the regime and its ideology, and to adapt to the new times. This fictional cinema, with its superfluous and harmless appearance, represents a mechanism of power and its presence as a backbone in the field of social behaviour. But, in turn, it shows deviations in the way these archetypes act, and how these archetypes foretold the changes taking place and that has been one of the objectives of this investigation, something that indeed makes this cinema both agent and witness to a crucial historical moment.

Full textThe dictatorship of general Primo de Rivera has yet to be studied in detail. Recently, there is an increased interest in a deeper analysis of his nature and character. The aims of this research are to verify whether or not the cinema of that time was a reflection of Spanish society and whether it had the capacity to influence that society. Also, it will attempt to establish whether it was used as a tool to transmit ideological content. To ascertain whether cinema is capable of influencing society, it is useful to have an idea of the number of this films produced, where they were produced, whether screenings were well attended, and whether the content of the films was the type of material likely to influence audiences. In Spain, around 240 films were made. However, there are two things to bear in mind which can influence our findings: that of the films made in Spain, usually few copies were made, and in addition, the cinema of this era being a mass-medium, the interest of the audiences was primarily in the films of Hollywood. Consequently the capacity of Spanish cinema to influence society is limited. As regards whether the society of that time was reflected, this is the case for more than half of the films studied. When we ask whether they can go as far as to influence society, the answer will be different. To achieve this, it is necessary to meet three conditions: that the film attempts to have influence, that the film is a success –and, accordingly, many people see it- and that the film has an impact on audiences. We find only a few films which meet these conditions. The last objective is to examine the power of cinema as an ideological instrument in favour of or against the Dictatorship. Almost half of the films studied transmit some ideas which could be considered ideological. There is a significant body of material which shares some or all of the ideals of the Dictatorship. We only find two films which position themselves against it. Finally, the credits of all the films produced during the Primo de Rivera dictatorship are provided as an appendix.
