Spanish 497TG - ST-Travlrs,Gypsies...19thCenSp

In this course we will study stereotypical representations of Spain in the nineteenth century, exploring specifically how these representations became an obstacle in the nation?s project of modernization. European travelers, writers, and artists imagined a nation of gypsies and tricksters attached to Spain?s Moorish past, but this conventional image also made its way into texts by Spanish writers and into the European popular imaginary. Course materials include diaries, short stories, plays, museum visits, and film adaptations. Conducted in Spanish.
