The results reveal that the most generalized approach is Cultural Studies, derived from Anglo-Saxon journals, which copied more articles, and with the University of Malaga as the academic institution with more publications. The predominant themes are melodrama, postmodernism, camp, masculinities, and age studies. There is still no consensus on the ontological nature of his cinema (camp, baroque, postmodern).
