3214 HISP-339-01 Garcia Marquez on Netflix 1.00 SEM Melendez,Priscilla MW: 11:30AM-12:45PM TBA GLB2  
  Enrollment limited to 16 Waitlist available: N Mode of Instruction: In Person  
  Prerequisite: C- or better in Hispanic Studies 270 and one of the following: Hispanic Studies 261, 262, 263, or 264, or permission of instructor.
  This course aims towards a 21st century reading of the Colombian Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF SOLITUDE (1967) and of other of his novels –El coronel no tiene quien le escriba, Cronica de una muerte anunciada, El amor en los tiempos del colera--, and short stories –“Los funerales de la Mama Grande," “La candida Erendira,” “La siesta del martes,” "El ahogado mas hermoso del mundo." We will ponder how to (re)interpret in our current century the literary production of this 1982 Nobel Prize winner by re-contextualizing topics explored by Garcia Marquez in his fictional writings such as the postcolonial, love, patriarchy, feminism, sexuality, identity, the magical, and authoritarianism in light of recent theoretical, sociopolitical, and ecological approaches. We will discuss film productions of some of these narrative texts, in particular the December 2024 NETFLIX series based on One Hundred Years of Solitude as a way to consider various mediums of artistic communication and the concept of adaptation. The course will explore the challenging transformation of Garcia Marquez’s complex narrative structures into the visual language of film.

  Prerequisite: C- or better in Hispanic Studies 221, or permission of instructor.
  This course is meant to provide an overview of some of the most important mass-market literary, dramatic, and audiovisual cultural products of modern Spain, from the seventeenth century to the present. From Cervantes' classic parody and rewriting of the popular chivalry novel and Lope de Vega's early reflections on popular 'style' and taste in the theater, to the popular episodic and serialized novels of the 19th Century, and the birth of the comic strip and modern TV serial (telenovela), this course is not only meant to familiarize students with some of the most iconic works of Spanish cultural canon, folklore, and 'pop,' it is also meant to engage them in critical discussions concerning their own relationships to the changing technologies of modern culture industries.
