This course studies the Spanish novel from the late nineteenth century to today. We will pay special attention to issues of dialogism and intertextuality in light of the theoretical contributions of the Russian formalists (Shklovsky and Tinyanov in particular), the Bakthin Circle (Voloshinov and Bakhtin himself, later studied by Beltrán Almería) and the French narratologists (Genette). A second aspect to be reflected upon is how literary history is made. Students will read novels by Galdós, Baroja, Valle-Inclán, Matute, Martín-Santos, Goytisolo, Muñoz Molina and Gopegui, among others.

4.00 Credits
Starting from Johan Huizinga's Homo Ludens, this course traces the fundamental theories of game and play throughout the Twentieth Century, including those from Caillois, Derrida, Hermann, Sutton-Smith, Deleuze, Waugh, and Stewart. Although we can find some sporadic play elements in Latin America during the nineteenth century and the colonial periods, the ludic only appears in its complete dimension around 1930 with authors like Borges, Huidobro, and Macedonio Fernandez. These authors are well acquainted with European Avant-Gardes but, far from imitating them, they appropriate these techniques to create their own hybrid expression. This evolves through different paths throughout the century as we can see through texts that are ludic in many different ways: Rayuela, Un mundo para Julius, Tres tristes tigres, Cobra, etc.
