Hilaria Loyo Gómez

Associate Professor of Film and American Studies at the University of Zaragoza. My current research interests include Race and Ethnic Studies, Cultural Studies, Film Genres, Feminism, Transnational Cinema and Cosmopolitanism. At the moment I am trying to complete an ongoing project on female blondes in Hollywood cinema, which has already produced some papers and book chapters. I am also working on transnational cinema, cosmopolitanism and melodrama in the films of Isabel Coixet. I have also published on film stars, the Western, and masculinity.

Some of my recent publications are:
