- Inhalt
- In this course, we explore the literary, cultural, and historical landscapes of the Spanish Civil War through the works of Ernest Hemingway and several Iberian contemporaries. Our goal is to examine how these authors depicted and responded to the era s political turmoil, offering insights into themes of resistance, endurance, and democratic values amidst tyranny. Additionally, we will examine how writers up to this day reflect on the horrors of the war and its aftermath.
Students will engage with a diverse range of materials, including novels, plays, poems, and short stories. In addition to literary texts, the course will incorporate discussions of films and paintings that portray the Spanish Civil War and its aftermath, providing a multidimensional understanding of the time period.
As part of this seminar, we will embark on an immersive field trip to Spain, visiting key locations such as Barcelona, Madrid, Pamplona, and the Spanish North. These visits will enrich our understanding of the cultural and historical context, allowing students to experience firsthand the settings that inspired these pivotal works of literature and art.
Excursion to Spain: January 08-15, 2025 (8 days, including stops in Barcelona, Madrid, Pamplona, Bilbao, and Guernica)
