					View No. 29 (2024): Feminist documentary trends in 21st century Spain

Este monográfico se aproxima a cómo se construyen los lenguajes audiovisuales y sus sesgos androcéntricos en la producción de cine documental acaecida en España en este milenio, así como dar cuenta de las estrategias utilizadas para dar presencia y voz a mujeres y a otros colectivos disidentes, y, en última instancia, encontrar modos para reflexionar sobre los distintos niveles y capas de opresión asociados al género a través del audiovisual. Porque, como sugería Sophie Mayer (2011), el documental feminista nació con dos objetivos: visibilizar las historias de las mujeres, y cambiar los contextos de dominación que provocaron el silenciamiento de dichas historias, causa, también, de que estas fuesen, a menudo, traumáticas.
