Against the backdrop of Britain's historically anti-Thatcherite films of the 1980s and 1990s, Reframing Margaret Thatcher outlines a decisive shift in the collective imagination of Thatcher. Drawing on genre, trauma, and queer studies, it demonstrates how post-Thatcherite films reflect upon their own entanglement in the polarization of the Thatcher years but also rewrite the clichéd Iron Lady. Chapters on The Iron Lady, This is England, Doomsday, 9 Dead Gay Guys, and the Sherlock TV series investigate various Thatcher imaginations, ranging from Thatcher as a lesbian mob boss, as prime minister in apocalyptic England, to Thatcher as an empty bust. This innovative study shows how the apparent depoliticization of British film makes visible new relations between genre, cinematic form, and imaginations of the past and offers fresh perspectives that both critique and reinterpret Thatcher's enduring impact.
Die Sonnenzeit geschlossener Horizonte, die Weite einer kleinen Enklave, die Ruhe eines selbstgenügsamen Völkchens sind vorbei. Krieg sickert durch die Grenzen. Noch ungeboren, werden Pablo und Felipe dazu auserkoren, ihrem Volk eine Geschichte zurückzugeben, das Recht einzusetzen, das allein den Niedergang der Enklave verhindert. Als Prinz der eine, als Nichtsling der andere kommen die beiden zur Welt, auf denen die Hoffnung einer neuen Ordnung lastet. Während Pablo der Ruf zum König ereilt, wird Felipe ein hinkender Schreiberling, der mit seinen unleserlichen Schriften gegen die bedrückende Geschichtslosigkeit nicht ankommt. Selbst dem Idioten geht der Stoff für Erzählungen aus, und so kommt die fremde Erzählerin im rechten Moment, um das »Feenmärchen« in ein »Königsdrama« zu wenden.

This book considers the most electorally successful political party in Spain, the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party (PSOE), which was in government for two of the three decades since it won office under Felipe González in 1982. Providing rich historical background, the book's main focus is on the period since General Franco's death in 1975. It charts Spain's modernisation under the PSOE, with a particular focus on the role played by European integration in this process. Covering events including the 2011 general election, the book is one of the most up-to-date works available in English and will be of great interest to academics and undergraduate and postgraduate students in the field of Spanish and European studies. ;
