Description

This course will examine the war as the foundational trauma on which Spanish modernity and its cultural production are based. With this goal in mind, this course will examine the representation and understanding of the Civil War through the lens of Francoist, Communist, and Anarchist discourse. We will explore different ideological representations of the war in conjunction with a variety of aesthetic perspectives, such as realism, avant-garde, testimonial literature, and existentialism. We will also complement the study of literature with the representation of this event through film and photography produced during and after the Civil War.
