SPANISH 377 - Contemporary Spanish Fiction

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. Francisco Franco's death in 1975 marked the end of dictatorship in Spain, though the transition to democracy was hardly smooth. In this course, we will examine Spanish fiction after Franco's death, paying particular attention to the fictional as a space through which Franco's legacy may be confronted, and through which a Spanish society may be constructed. The reading of novels and short stories by Martín Gaite, Tusquets, Vázquez Montalbán, Marsé, Javier Marías, Mu oz Molina, Etxebarría, Rivas, and others will be complemented by texts that chronicle and confront the transition (Vilarós, Vázquez Montalbán). Studies on narratology, trauma, memory, and national identity will inform our work on Spanish fiction. Prerequisite: Spanish 321 or equivalent with consent of instructor. Conference. Not offere
