Extract
I would like to thank Royal Holloway, University of London, for the successive periods of sabbatical leave which have enabled me to complete this monograph.
The School of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures at Royal Holloway continued to provide an exceptionally supportive and inspiring working environment. My special thanks go to my colleagues Abigail Lee Six, Alba Chaparro, Miriam Haddu, Arantza Mayo, Richard Pym, Sarah Wright and Dan Wilson. I would also like to thank my research students, from whom I have learned so much, particularly Gabriel Araujo and Judith Meddick. Anthony Cond, my editor at Liverpool UP, supported the project throughout. I am grateful to the staff at the Arxiu de la Filmoteca de la Generalitat de Catalunya, particularly to Josep Calle and Rosa Saz, for greatly facilitating my research. José Maria Nunes kindly gave me access to one of his unpublished scripts, and Vicente Aranda provided a much sought-after uncut DVD copy of one of his early films. I am also indebted to both directors, as well as to Jacinto Esteva's daughter, Dària Esteva, for granting me their permission to use stills from their films. I am grateful to Robert Mills and the rest of the academics and postgraduate students associated to Queer@King's, particularly Richard Maguire, for providing a great platform in which to debate queer theory within the University of London. Lee Edelman was a brief, yet highly illuminating interlocutor at a crucial stage. Josep-Anton Fernàndez, Brad Epps, Michael O'Rouke, Joan Torres Pou, Cristina Sánchez-Conejero and Teresa Vilarós gave me insightful feedback on pieces of work which eventually became part of this monograph. I am also grateful to the following people for their help, friendship and support at different stages of the writing of this book: my mother Marina Pérez Tarrat, Paul Julian Smith, Juan Antonio Ballesteros, James Williams, Carrie Hamilton, Juan A. Suárez, Alberto Mira, Yusef Azad, Marko Jobst, Josep Quer, Ramon Pla i Arxé, Jordi Llovet, Helen Graham, Jo Labanyi and Chris Perriam.
