Adoctrinamiento turístico de los españoles en el primer franquismo: la “españolada” cinematográfica y la “diferencia” nacional asociadas a Andalucía (1940-1959)
Resumo: This paper focuses on the study of the so-called Spanish national “difference”, fostered by Early Francoism (1940-1959), and depicted in “españolada” films featuring tourists, as a means to indoctrinate Spaniards in favour of the tourism activity. In order to fulfil our objective, this article analyses 45 films using NVivo Software. The results, supported by statistical analysis, reinforce our qualitative hypothesis and suggest an iteration of four trends as key elements of the Francoist “difference”, linked to the Andalusian synechdoche of Spain, which has been scarcely studied from the point of view of early tourism and cinematographic indoctrination, and reveals the significance of this period throughout the twentieth century.
