Course Description:
This course explores the Spanish colonial past in Africa, with emphasis on Equatorial Guinea -a colony of Spain until 1968-, the former Spanish Protectorate of Morocco, and present-day afro-descendant cultural production and representations of race in Spain. Our focus will be on the relationship between imperialism and culture in three moments: Spanish colonial discourse during General Franco's dictatorship; the emergence of post-independence African and Afro-Spanish literature; and current notions of racial identity and the impact of African immigration on 21st-century Spain. Using theoretical concepts from Cultural and Postcolonial Studies, the course will closely look at literature, film, documentary, and other visual cultural objects to question our map of the Spanish cultural landscape. |
