Description
Summary:Linda Hutcheon says that this article is a dialogue that was initially provoked by some ruminations on her part over why she had resolutely insisted that the postmodern was more ironic than nostalgic. This dialogue with Mario Valdés represents her attempt to deal with this unfinished business to try to understand why she had earlier chosen the nostalgic dimension of the postmodern in favor of the ironic. It also represents Valdés response to this position and his critical testing of it on the field of contemporary Spanish cinema.
