Title: La cultura popular catalana en su represenTación en filmes de terror catalanes
Author: Velázquez Rodríguez, Benjamín

Abstract: The objective of this work is to present Catalan horror films from the point of view of sociology, as it seeks to find the representation of Catalan culture in these films. Film analysis has been used as a tool to observe and analyze the films in search of the representation of place references and expressions of Catalan culture in their audiovisual staging within the selected films. And with the help of postmodernist aesthetics, understand how this representation works. If it is a referent, if it appears explicitly or on the contrary it makes a succinct appearance of representation. It is about understanding how in a globalized world it can take place to refer to specific places and tie the work of art to a specific time and space. Three films are thus presented that have been successful at the box office not only in Spain, but also globally, films in the horror genre that allow for greater expressiveness by not being subject to genre criticism but cult criticism. These films are “Los sin nombre”, “REC”, “While you sleep”, films by directors Jaume Balagueró and Paco Plaza, made by Catalans in Catalonia for the entire world. Most of the films have action in Barcelona, as the capital and nerve center of Catalonia, which is only a part of Catalan territory and is ultimately not the entire representation of said land. It is a work limited in time and space, it is limited to a scheduled delivery date and is limited to the Catalan space, although carried out in Spanish, it is understood that Catalonia is a bilingual and culturally rich country. His film production is having significant notoriety at this time, and it is truly a competitive production and of great qualitative value when it comes to launching audiovisual works that are worth studying in depth and understanding this phenomenon. Let's move on to this work that tries to investigate the representation of the place where said production is carried out and if there are traces of place as in every work of art or if it is more of a product within the global order.
