Spanish 797DS - ST-Document/Real Contemp Spain

There are no facts, only interpretations. Nietzsche's critique of positivism resonates in the turn to represent the real in contemporary cultural production. Documentary film and theater, verbatim theater, performance, photojournalism, and autofiction are just some examples of the illusion of a direct access to the real that became more present recently in Spain. In this seminar we aim at examining examples that questioned truth claims as they approach and reframe the real. We will study cultural practices that have explored the transit from life to the page, screen or stage. Taught in Spanish.
