HISP 354 - Representations of the Spanish Civil War


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU, CD

From the moment of its outbreak, the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) sparked an intense struggle among competing narrative frameworks. Was it a “tragedy,” an epic “crusade,” or a “revolution”? Were the valiant Spanish people fighting against Communism, or against Fascism? All representational weapons were deployed in this relentless struggle for narrative hegemony—photos, text, and film; fiction, poetry, and music; posters, montage, and propaganda. This course will analyze key moments in this struggle, which continues unabated today in Spain and abroad. Taught in Spanish.  Enrollment Limit:  20.
Instructor: S. Faber
