This edited volume examines the historical political cultural and aesthetic implications of
re-visiting Restoration Spain (1874-1931) in television costume dramas produced since 2000.
Contributors analyze from different theoretical approaches and disciplinary perspectives the
appeal that the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries hold for twenty-first-century
Spanish audiences as well as for international viewers who consume these programs through new
media platforms. Themes and issues explored include: the production of televisual heritage
representations of period technologies evolving constructions of gender hybridization of
television genres and television as historian. Expanding the scope of inquiry in Spanish media
studies this collection seeks to bring Spain into wider discussions of media and historical
representation and visual and material culture in Europe the Americas and beyond.
