HISP 434 - The Mad Man and the Others: The Other Cervantes

3HU, CD
Second Semester. This course focuses on some of the less studied aspects of the works of Cervantes, including cases of black and white magic, utopian lands, witches and female werewolves. Cervantes will help us experience both the attraction and the repulsion provoked by some of the worries that have shaped Western cultures and societies since 1600. Different critical texts on madness and otherness will complement Cervantes’ readings. Primary works include Don Quixote, interludes, Comedias, selected poetry and Exemplary Novels.
