Span 490 - Spanish Women's Fiction on the Edge of the Millennium

Institution:

Washington University in St Louis

Subject:

Description:

The course focuses on the narrative fiction of Spanish women of the post-Franco era: those who began to publish shortly after Franco's death and continue to write into the new century (Cristina Fernandez Cubas, Rosa Montero, Soledad Puertolas, and Carme Riera), as well as the more recent crop of writers who emerged on the literary scene in the past decade (Nuria Amat, Lucia Etxebarria, Belen Gopegui). We consider not only are the aesthetic innovations of these writers, but also their preoccupation with the following sociopolitical and cultural issues: connections between gender, sexuality, and writing; their response to feminist literary criticism and politics; and their relationship to the market and consumer society in the context of globalization. Prerequisites: Span 307D and Span 308D and at least two 300-level literature courses taught in Spanish. One-hour preceptorial for undergraduates; in Spanish.
