This volume addresses how the construction of masculinities is experiencing a structural transformation which goes beyond existing theory. This book amalgamates original close readings of texts, films, and television series, which have not been widely considered by critics, such as Sin tetas, no hay paraíso and Ocho apellidos vascos and recent cultural production treating the Spanish recession, with strikingly original new perspectives on much-studied cultural texts, such as Los girasoles ciegos, Paracuellos, and the early films of Pedro Almodóvar. These films, documentaries, plays and narratives seek to unsettle the Spanish preconceptions of what means to be a man, boldly reinstating a pluralistic model of contemporary Spanish manhood.
