SPAN 175 SC -Aftermath of Spanish Civil War

Institution: Scripps

Description: The Spanish Civil War is the most dramatic event of modern Spanish history. The uprising of General Franco in 1936 produced a bloody conflict that shattered the effort of the Spanish intellectuals to create a new and modern nation. The war and the dictatorship that followed drove leading Spanish intellectuals into exile. This course will examine the causes of the war and its disastrous consequences for the intellectual life of Spain through the study of different forms of expression such as literature, cinema, painting, and graphic art of the period. Readings will include selected works by Machado, Garcia Lorca, Alberti, Miguel Hernandez, Guillén, Ayala, Goytisolo, Aldecoa, Mart’n Gaite, and Roig. Prerequisite: Spanish 110 or similar level.
