Topics Course Same as CLT 366.
The Spanish Revolution and Civil War (1936-39) are crucial moments of the 20th century, and privileged sites to study the connection between culture, art and politics. An immense amount of international expression, poetry, novels, posters, paintings (such as Picasso?s Guernica), songs, memoirs and films were inspired by both. In this class we study: how people expressed and acted on their dreams of an ideal society; why many avant-garde artists were heavily invested in the project; how established conceptions of literature and other arts were challenged; how this ?internationalist? legacy, and its suppression as a result of military defeat, are remembered today. Course conducted in English. Enrollment limited to 14.
