Abstract
This issue examines a range of affects in film, television and other forms of screen media produced in Spain following the global financial crash of 2008. Contributors interrogate the emergence as well as the limitations of counter-hegemonic discourse in contemporary Spain, unveiling neo-liberal capitalism’s stranglehold on society. Tracing the intensification of political dissent in the aftermath of the Great Recession, the articles featured in this Special Issue wrestle with the mobilization of what Chantal Mouffe has characterized as the passions – or the antagonistic confrontation between distinct political ideologies – over the last decade and a half.
