College: COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE Department: SPANISH & ITALIAN Credits: 3.00 Cultural Studies: Spain. Prerequisites: SPAN 241. This course provides an overview of the interaction between sociohistoric contexts and cultural expressions in Spain, taking into account the phenomenal culture development of Spain at the beginning of the 21st century and its surprising rupture from recurrent patterns of the past. Through the vehicles of literature, film, theater, art, and manifestations of pop culture, the course examines the tension between official and unofficial discourses of representation, manifestations of high and low culture, the negotiation of identity in Spain's various regions, and the restructuring of Spanish "nationhood." Contemporary phenomena will be analyzed in a retrospective fashion providing insights into earlier periods of Spanish cultural hisotry. Meets the 1983 General Education Requirement (GER) - Foreign Language. Taught in Spanish. 3 hours lecture.
