This accessible introduction to contemporary Spanish culture is the first of its kind, combining cultural context with close readings of particular works.

Reviews new developments in television, where original and innovative series drama has recently blossomed.

Explores Spanish fashion, where 'classic' design is married to high tech production and distribution.

Examines two aspects of Spanish visual art: the career of Miquel Barcelo, global artist and pure painter, and Basque conceptual art which, through photography and installation, puts a new spin on international questions of gender and sexuality.

Considers Catalan independent cinema and the most recent work of Spain's best known director, Pedro Almodovar, who has resurrected a genre long considered dead: the art movie.
