Course Description:
This course is designed to provide a broad understanding of the primary cultural dynamics of Spain and the Spanish Empire from the Middle Ages to the 18th Century. We will pay special attention to how questions of race and religion shaped politics, art, literature, and philosophy and to the histories of popular resistance to imperial authority: from the rebellions of the Moriscos, the Mapuches, and the Castilian Comuneros against the Hapsburg Monarchy, to the revolutions of enslaved people, peasants, and indigenous communities during the so-called age of “Enlightenment.” |
