WGST 253 - Gender, Sexuality and Performance in Spanish Theater4 credits
This course is designed to offer an overview of Spanish theatre through representative works from the seventeenth century Golden Age to the early 20th century. Through an analysis of different dramatic genres the course explores the background and the historical, social and aesthetic development of the Spanish theatre, as well as its principal themes. We pay particular attention to these plays not just as literary artifacts, but also as texts for performance. In particular, we examine gender and sexuality both in performance and as performance - analyzing the meanings produced by gendered and sexualized bodies on stage and in audiences, as well as the constructions and manifestations of gender and sexuality through performance itself across different contexts and time periods. We analyze selected plays by Lope de Vega, Tirso de Molina, Fernndez de Moratn, and Garca Lorca, among others. Taught in English. Equivalent: SPAN 253 CLA-Breadth/Humanities, CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Writing Intensive
