Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

This course examines the development of cinema in Argentina, from the earliest attempts to codify a particularly Argentine perspective in Tango musicals to the present day. We explore the relationships between both film and nation-building and film and revolution. We also study the role of cinema in national memory, using the cinema of the post-dictatorship as a case study. We read widely in film, cultural, and political theory to enrich our study of the various films under consideration. Prerequisites: Span 307D and Span 308D and at least two 300-level literature courses taught in Spanish. Conducted in Spanish.
