Course Description:
During the so-called "long" 19th Century, Spain, like Western Europe as a whole, underwent a series of profound changes, from political, social, and industrial revolution to the challenging of its imperial hegemony; from the birth of nationalism and the modern nation state to that of modern mass-politics and mass-media; from mass-emigration to urban centers and across the Atlantic, to the entry of peasants and women into the industrial workforce. This course aims to explore and analyze these transformations through the careful reading of both popular and canonical literary and artistic sources, from Goya's contrasting visions of enlightenment during the Napoleonic Wars to the Avant-Garde authors, poets, and visual artists of the 1920's and 30's, including Federico García Lorca, Miguel Hernández, and Pablo Picasso. |
