Construction of the modern woman in spanish consumer society

Abstract

The film Carne Trémula by spanish director Pedro Almodovar, begins with the image of a woman about to give birth on a bus that circulates through the deserted streets of a cold Madrid, both literal and metaphorical. The scene is the December 31, 1969 and just declare a state of emergency. We are in the late sixties, the same economic developmentalism began exactly ten years ago, and has passed with strong and significant changes in patterns of ways of being and doing, in public and in private for all the Spanish.
