Learning objectives
The course aims at providing students of the Bachelor's degree in Languages and Cultures for Tourism and International Commerce with an adequate knowledge of the Spanish culture of different periods, focusing on its literary, historical, geographical and anthropological aspects. At the end of the course, students will acquire a sound knowledge of the issues covered by the module (historical and cultural context, main writers/texts/movements/genres of the period examined). With regard to the applied and communication skills, students will be able to critically comment the primary texts listed in the syllabus, in relation both to their historical and cultural context and literary specificities, as well as to express the acquired knowlegde in a clear and consistent way.
Prerequisites and basic notions
No prerequisites are required. However, even partial knowledge of Spanish language is considered helpful.
Program
The course will provide a foundation for understanding the major movements, authors, and genres of Spanish literature between the 19th and 20th centuries, focusing in particular on the manifestations of violence, conflict, and oppression in various historical and social contexts and distinct literary forms (novel, short story, poetry, drama). Alongside the presentation of the historical and cultural context (the First Republic, the Crisis of '98, Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, the Second Republic, Franco's dictatorship) and the major literary movements (Realism, Modernism, the Avant-garde, the Generation of '27), the course will explore key texts of the period, with particular attention to the female figure and their connections with expressive forms such as painting and cinema. The program is divided into four parts: - Part I: Violence and the Condition of Women in Fin de Siecle Realist Literature. The Stories of Emilia Pardo Bazán (a selection). - Part II: Poetic Voices between Modernism and the Avant-Garde at the Dawn of the Civil War (selected anthology) - Part III: Paths of Eroticism and Violence in Lorca's Dramatic Works (one work of the student's choice) - Part IV: The Postwar Novel: Camilo José Cela and Carmen Laforet (one novel of the student's choice). The study of the texts will be accompanied by partial screenings of films. A detailed summary of the topics covered, along with the complete schedule of teaching activities, will be provided at the beginning of the course. The literature history textbooks and the scheduled texts will be indicated by the instructor and are available in the University Libraries.
