SPA 407 - Gender and Memory in Television and the Novel


Instructor
Kietrys

What can prime-time television teach us about gender? What can a novel teach us about Fascism? What can a film teach us about memory? We’ll consider these questions and more as we examine representations of women in Spanish media from the Second Republic through today. We’ll also explore gender construction at different moments in recent history, including differences between the “ideal woman” of the early 20th century and the early 21st century. Discussion of the supporting roles of male characters will also inform our analyses. Course conducted in Spanish. Counts for Major & Minor in GSS and Hispanic Studies.

 

Prerequisites & Notes
Completion of a 300-level course in Spanish, or permission of the instructor. Limited to juniors and seniors. Priority will be given to majors, then minors. (Fall 2016)
