Where it came from
Published in 2006 by Tamesis Books as part of their 'Monografías' series, Carmen on screen was authored by Ann Davies to fill a critical gap in film and Hispanic studies. The text provides a comprehensive analysis of the various cinematic adaptations of Prosper Mérimée’s 1845 novella, tracing how the figure of Carmen has been culturally reconstructed, gendered, and exoticized across international cinema from the silent era through the early 21st century.
Ann Davies designed the work as an interdisciplinary study, drawing on film theory, cultural history, and gender studies to examine why the character remains such a persistent icon of femininity and transgression. The book was received by academic circles as a rigorous examination of the tension between Spanish cultural identity and the external projections imposed by foreign filmmakers, establishing itself as a standard reference for scholars studying the intersection of national myth and screen representation.
