Course Description:
This course explores how contemporary Spanish politics and culture has been shaped by questions of class-struggle, race, gender, and migration from the Napoleonic Era to the present. It will do so through the study of visual art, novels, plays, poems, and films. Special emphasis will be given to the Colonial Wars of 1859-1898, the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and the fascist dictatorship of Francisco Franco (1939-1975), as well as the enduring legacy of these events during the country’s more recent “Transition” to democracy and the coming of the new millennium. |
