SP 340 - Social Criticism Through Written and Visual Texts (3 Cr.)


Students explore social issues from the different periods of Spanish history through the study and critical analysis of three literary works and their representation in films. The first, El perro del hortelano, a baroque play of the Spanish Golden Age, sheds a critical light on social classism through a comedy that focuses on love and jealousy. The second, the novel and film Crónica del rey pasmado, narrates the story of a young king living in the Spanish Golden Age, who is torn by the attraction he feels towards his wife and the precepts of the Catholic Church. Finally, students examine La familia de Pascual Duarte, the founding novel of the genre known as tremendismo. Prerequisites: SP 254  or SP 294 . Variable semesters. Moreno-López.
