In this course we will study how the Spanish Civil War has been portrayed and memorialized in literature, film, theater, and art. Our course will focus on the representation of the fight against fascism that happened in Spain and abroad by among others George Orwell, Ernest Hemingway, and Pablo Neruda. We will pay special attention to archives of the American volunteers that formed the Abraham Lincoln Brigade. Other materials include recent scholarship on the Spanish Civil War, Picasso's Guernica, Robert Capa and Gerda Taro's photographies, films, plays, and performances.

Love is constantly thematized in medieval and Renaissance literature. Authors try to account for what love is, what its effects are on the body and the soul, how one is supposed to obtain it and keep it, but also how and why it should be avoided. Writing about love is also questioning what is considered essentially good or bad for oneself and the community. In this course, students will explore medieval and early modern love theories and practices in a selection of Iberian texts, as they reflect on literature as a means for ethical interrogation. Taught in Spanish.
