SPN.3020 Spanish Civilization: Past and Present
From a comparative point of view and using literary readings, audiovisual materials and visits to museums, this course explores the historical and cultural development of Spain not as a unity but as a multiplicity of heritages. The first part of the course focuses on modern and contemporary Spain, analyzing the evolution of the political regimes (monarchy, republic, dictatorship) that led to the tragedy of the Civil War, and the new democracy of present day Spain. The second part surveys, from a historical perspective, some of the major topics of Spanish culture as reflected in the arts.
