SPN 372 EARLY MODERN SPAIN THROUGH FILM
The presence of early modern Spanish history in Spanish film has received only limited scholarly attention. This course reframes the mechanisms employed by current films in representing an essential part of Spanish past: early modernity. Through the analysis of these movies we will see that Spanish period films set in early modernity tell us as much about the time of their making and the shaping of the historical consciousness of Spain as they do about the era that they represent on screen. Prerequisites: Two courses at the lower 300 level (SPN 300 - SPN 349).
