2023-06-15

From an academic point of view, interest in Almodóvar's work has also grown throughout the world; just check the number of doctoral theses, scientific publications and conferences around the world where concern for Pedro Almodóvar's cinema is present, both in Spain and international abroad.

 

The topics that are usually addressed in academic approaches to Almodóvar work are very broad, from historiographical issues to aesthetic issues, from studies on his narrative or script writing, to film analysis, from issues of social representations to gender through cultural or politics problems, etc. And all this from all the methodologies that usually operate in film and audiovisual studies: textual, semiotic, narratological, sociological analysis, critical content analysis, cultural and gender studies, feminist, queer and all the long etcetera.

In this way, we invite, as an indication, but not exclusively, the sending of texts on the following issues:

  • Almodóvar as a storyteller and his relationship with literature
  • Almodóvar's relationship with different arts and cultures
  • The use of music in Almodóvar’s movies
  • Policies of representation and construction of characters
  • Almodóvar's cinema and the photografy
  • Fashion and design in the Pedro Almodóvar universe
