SPAN 339 - War and Imagination: The Spanish Civil War4 credits
The defining event of 20th-century Spain and a prelude to Europe’s Second World War, the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) captured world attention and the imagination of writers, artists, and workers. This course explores historical events that brought about the proclamation of the liberal Second Republic and the ensuing civil war resulting in the long-endured Fascist repression of Francisco Franco and the anti-Francoist guerrilla movement. This course also explores the role of the American Abraham Lincoln Brigade in his fight against fascism during and after the Spanish Civil War. Ideological and social changes (women, minorities, and language communities) are also investigated. This course also analyzes artistic production (literature, art, film, and music) in Spain and US (Hollywood) that shows the rhetoric of war and propaganda. Prerequisite: SPAN 310 or special permission. CLA-Diversity International, CLA-Foreign Language
