La Inglaterra protestante del siglo XVIII vio nacer de la pluma de Joseph Addison y Richard Steele el género spectator, cuyo prototipo enseguida se difundió con gran éxito en Europa —especialmente en los países católicos del sur hablantes de lenguas románicas—, logrando configurar en plena Ilustración una poderosa red transeuropea de textos que buscaban reformar moralmente las sociedades en las cuales circulaban. ¿Qué ocurre con las características estéticas y las funciones de los spectators cuando estos migran a contextos extraeuropeos y (post)coloniales? En Hispanoamérica y Brasil tuvo lugar una importante recepción del género durante el siglo XIX en el marco de los procesos emancipativos por parte de las élites criollas en que dichos textos se convirtieron de escritos morales en escritos políticos y representaron el medio ideal para diseñar modalidades de convivencia favorables a los intereses locales criollos. La presente monografía constituye el primer estudio panorámico sobre el estado de los spectators en América Latina, que amplía el conocimiento de lo que hasta ahora se sabía sobre el género en Europa. Identifica un corpus de textos, reflexiona sobre las configuraciones que la poética adquiere en suelo americano y, en el entendido de que el género ha cambiado en relación con su estado previo europeo, problematiza en qué medida son spectators latinoamericanos. This book offers the first panoramic study on the development and characteristics of the literary-journalistic genre of spectator periodicals in Hispanic America and Brazil. After contextualizing these publications within the emancipation processes of 19th-century American Enlightenment, it explores the new coexistence modes and esthetics they disseminated.

Women and Temporality in Literature and Cinema delves into the subject of literary and cinematic women characters entrapped in temporal spaces and their peculiar communication with visibility, enclosure, space and time in the setup of a sexual and temporal discord. It explores subjects such as youth, ageing, remembering, forgetting, and repeating within the larger realm of gendered temporalities that are essentially a nuanced and affective experience. In its entirety, this book has sought to locate and spell out both the damaging as well as the healing effects of temporality upon women's consciousness.

Media platforms continually evolve, but the issues surrounding media representations of gender and sexuality have persisted across decades. Spectator: The University of Southern California Journal of Film and Television Criticism has published groundbreaking articles on gender and sexuality, including some that have become canonical in film studies, since the journal’s founding in 1982. This anthology collects seventeen key articles that will enable readers to revisit foundational concerns about gender in media and discover models of analysis that can be applied to the changing media world today. Spectatorship begins with articles that consider issues of spectatorship in film and television content and audience reception, noting how media studies has expanded as a field and demonstrating how theories of gender and sexuality have adapted to new media platforms. Subsequent articles show how new theories emerged from that initial scholarship, helping to develop the fields of fandom, transmedia, and queer theory. The most recent work in this volume is particularly timely, as the distinctions between media producers and media spectators grow more fluid and as the transformation of media structures and platforms prompts new understandings of gender, sexuality, and identification. Connecting contemporary approaches to media with critical conversations of the past, Spectatorship thus offers important points of historical and critical departure for discussion in both the classroom and the field.
