Comte de Castille, premier comte héréditaire du royaume des Asturies, Diego Porcel(l)os fonde et peuple Burgos et Ubierna, selon la Chronique d'Albelda, les Annales de Complutum (882), le Chronique de Burgos et les Annales de Compostelle (884). Diego Rodríguez Porcelos mène une politique encore plus expansive que son père. La frontière orientale du comté se fixe sur l'Arlanzón et les Monts d'Oca. Les musulmans sont arrachés à certaines de leurs forteresses frontalières, comme Pancorbo, qui servent de base pour les expéditions avec lesquelles les émirs de Cordoue dévastent ces "comarcas". Pour protéger la frontière orientale du royaume des Asturies, il continue à construire une multitude de châteaux, "castillos" qui ont donné à la région son nom au début du siècle. Il apparaît également avoir reconstitué l'évêché de Villafranca Montes de Oca. Diego est très certainement exécuté pour avoir participé à une rébellion contre son roi, Alphonse III des Asturies.

Pedro Almodóvar Caballero est né le 24 septembre 1949 à Calzada de Calatrava, dans la province de Ciudad Real et la communauté autonome de Castille-La Manche, en Espagne. À 8 ans, il émigre avec sa famille en Estrémadure. Il y fait ses études secondaires qu'il poursuit chez les Franciscains. Comme Vargas Llosa il fait preuve de guidisme. Vers 16 ans il quitte sa maison seul pour s'installer à Madrid, sans argent et sans travail, mais avec un projet très concret : étudier le cinéma et en faire son métier. Il lui est impossible de s'inscrire à l'école officielle du cinéma puisque Franco vient juste de la fermer. Dans la mesure où il ne peut apprendre le langage cinématographique, Almodóvar décide d'en apprendre le fond en multipliant ses expériences artistiques personnelles dans différents domaines. Malgré la dictature, Madrid représente, pour un adolescent provincial, la culture, l'indépendance et la liberté. Il fait de nombreux petits boulots et s'achète sa première caméra super 8 après avoir décroché un emploi à la Compagnie nationale de téléphone d'Espagne. Il y travaille douze ans comme employé de bureau. Le matin, à la Compagnie de téléphone, il apprend à connaître la classe moyenne espagnole qui vit les débuts de la...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Product Description
Verdrängte Kindheitserlebnisse in einem katholischen Internat, die sich Jahrzehnte später umso heftiger auf einer Kinoleinwand entladen ? so könnte man den von dem Spanier Pedro Almodóvar 2004 inszenierten Film ?Schlechte Erziehung ? La Mala Educatión? in wenigen Worten beschreiben. Als einer der Regie-Stars des gegenwärtigen europäischen Autorenfilms schöpft Almodóvar seine Stoffe aus privaten Erfahrungen, phantasiert sie in seinen Drehbüchern weiter, erfindet sie im Kino neu und lässt Schlüsselfiguren seines Lebens immer wieder Revue passieren. Deshalb muss eine fundierte Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk Almodóvars mit Blick auf dessen Biografie geschehen, die zudem untrennbar mit der Geschichte Spaniens verbunden ist. In der Historie seiner Heimat spiegeln sich die wesentlichen Episoden seines Lebens:Die vom Katholizismus geprägte Kindheit in der Mancha während der Franco-Diktatur und seine ersten filmischen Gehversuchen in der künstlerischen Untergrundbewegung in Madrid, in der sich die Jahre der Unterdrückung in eine Ära ungeheurer Kreativität verwandelten, sind in ?La Mala Educatión? gleichzeitig, einander gleichsam überlagernd, auf der Leinwand spürbar. ...

Excerpt: Pedro Almodóvar Caballero (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 1949) is a Spanish film director, screenwriter and producer. Almodóvar is arguably the most successful and internationally known Spanish filmmaker of his generation. His films, marked by complex narratives, employ the codes of melodrama and use elements of pop culture, popular songs, irreverent humor, strong colors, glossy décor and LGBT themes. Desire, passion, family and identity are among Almodóvars most prevalent themes. His films enjoy a worldwide following and he has become a major figure on the stage of world cinema. He founded Spanish film production company El Deseo S.A. with his younger brother Agustín Almodóvar who has produced almost all of Pedros films. Pedro Almodóvar Caballero was born on September 25, 1949 (or 1951) in Calzada de Calatrava, Spain, a rural small town of Ciudad Real, a province of Castile-La Mancha in the administrative district of Almagro. La Mancha is the windswept region of flat lands made famous by Don Quijote. He was born as one of four children (two boys, two girls) in a large and impoverished family of peasant stock. His father, Antonio Almodóvar, who could barely read or write, worked most of his life hauling barrels of wine by mule. Almodóvar's mother, Francisca Caballero, turned her son into a part time teacher of literacy in the village and also a letter reader and transcriber for the neighbors. When Pedro was eight years old, the family sent him to study at a religious boarding school in the city of Cáceres, Extremadura, in the west of the country, with the hope that he might someday become a priest. His family eventually joined him in Cáceres, where his father opened a gas station and h...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=5195275 ... Read more

Excerpt: High Heels (Spanish: Tacones lejanos, meaning "Distant Heels") is a 1991 melodrama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar and starring Marisa Paredes, Victoria Abril and Miguel Bosé. The plot follows the fractured relationship between a self-involved mother who is a famous torch song singer and the grown daughter she had abandoned as a child. The daughter, who works as TV newscaster, has married her mother's ex-lover and has befriended a female impersonator of her mother. A murder further complicates this web of relationships. The film has the feel of other mother-daughter melodramas like Stella Dallas, Mildred Pierce, Imitation of Life and particularly Autumn Sonata, which is quoted directly in the film. Rebeca, a TV news broadcaster, is at Madrids airport anxiously awaiting the return of her mother whom she has not seen since she was a child. Her mother, Becky del Páramo, a famous torch song singer, is coming back to Spain after a fifteen-year stay in Mexico. While waiting, Rebeca recalls incidents from her childhood in which her mother let her in the background of her life preoccupied with her career and her romantic life. For fifteen years Rebeca has longed for her mother to come back and for the love and affection of which she had been deprived. Nevertheless, her love is accompanied by a deep resentment. Rebeca has since become a newsreader for a private television...http://booksllc.net/?id=1228330 ... Read more
