SPAN 252 - The Culture of Melodrama in the Hispanic World

4 credits
This course addresses the origins, impact, and currency of the melodramatic across Spanish and Latin American culture, literature, film, music, and television. The course examines the recourse of the melodramatic within diverse emotional contexts (romantic, erotic, familial) and their relationship with varying cultural and social attitudes. The course will pay particular attention to the repetitions and excesses of melodramatic representations, and their implicit and explicit connections to gender, gender performance, sexual identity, and nationalism. Taught in English. CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity International
