HISP 409 - Bad Girls on Stage in Early Modern Spain and Spanish America


Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU, CD
In both Early Modern Spain and Spanish America, the figure of the “bad girl” includes, for example, prostitutes, single women, orphans, abused wives, brainy women and back-stabbing girlfriends. Against the backdrop of the Spanish Inquisition, this course rethinks the “bad girl” by examining early modern plays, chronicles and institutional manuals. We will also watch her adapted into contemporary popular films in order to examine the relationships between gender, deviance, spectacle and rehabilitation. Taught in Spanish.
Enrollment Limit: 15
Instructor: M. Boyle
Consent of the Instructor Required? No
Prerequisites & Notes
Prerequisite: Two Spanish-taught 300-level courses.
