Requisite:
Gabriel Garcia Marquez's novel One Hundred Years of Solitude is the best novel ever written in Spanish in the Americas. Appearing inauspiciously in 1967, it became the flagship of the so-called "El Boom," an aesthetic movement that inscribed Latin America in the banquet of world literature. It also inaugurated the style called "lo real maravillioso," loosely translated into English as Magical Realism. The narrative tells the rise and fall of Macondo, a mythical town in Colombia's Caribbean coast.
2026 is the ninetieth anniversary of the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936-39), a conflict that left scars
on the landscape and psyche of Spain. The war also had a global impact, anticipating the Second World
War, the international rise of fascism and the refugee crises of the twenty-first century. In this course, we will
delve into the discord and violence of the war as well as the anguish and catharsis of the literature,
poetry and film it inspired. Through primary sources and historical accounts, we will understand the

In this course we will explore this question through close readings of representative films from each of the following major periods: silent cinema (1890s–1930s), studio cinema (1930s–1950s), Neorealism/Art Cinema (1950s), the New Latin American Cinema (1960s–1980s), and contemporary cinema (1990s to today).

(Offered as SPAN 310, EUST 311 and SWAG 320) Spain’s reckoning with misogyny and machismo came to a boiling point over a non-consensual kiss on live television after the Spanish national soccer team won the Women’s World Cup in 2023. The #SeAcabó movement, like #MeToo in the United States and #NiUnaMenos in Latin America, represents a reckoning with decades of patriarchy, abuse and the underestimation of women. But how did we get to this moment? From the early twentieth century through today, the status of Spanish women has experienced dramatic reversals.
