Brief description
This course will examine a range of literary texts and their representation in cinema in order to study in depth the realist and naturalist literary movements in Spanish society. Lectures will give an overview of important thematic represenatations from 1874 to 1900 in both literary and filmic form, and the seminars will give the students the opportunity to explore in details the responses to the social and political chanegs following the decline of imperialistic Spanish society. In this way, the students will gain from the immanent and transcendent ananlysis not only a detailed knowledge of the features used in the artistic representation but will also hone a critical analysis of the transformations which led to the division of Spain.
