HISP 445 - Crime, Sex and Ghosts of the Past: Contemporary Spanish Fiction and Film

FC ARHU CD WADV
4 credits
Spain’s transition to democracy following Franco’s death in 1975 was characterized by two contradictory phenomena: a sudden moral, sexual, and political liberation, and a collective “pact of oblivion” that indefinitely postponed any reckoning with the dictatorial past. This course studies the film and fiction of post-Franco Spain, rife with sex and crime but also haunted by the ghosts of history. Includes works by Martín Gaite, Vázquez Montalban, Llamazares, Almodóvar, Medem, and Saura. Taught in Spanish.
Prerequisites & Notes: Two Spanish taught 300- level courses.
