SPAN 063. Cine Contemporáneo español
Following dictator Franco’s death in 1975, Spain’s transition to democracy was characterised by two distinct singularities: a sudden moral, sexual, and political liberation and, simultaneously, a collective social and political ‘pact of oblivion’, which indefinitely postponed any national reckoning by Spain with its dictatorial past. This course studies the films of post-Franco Spain, which are at once bursting with themes of liberation yet haunted by the ghosts of its recent past. We will chart the development of Spanish culture through the examination and interpretation of 1990s and 2000s Spanish films. Students will become familiar with important Spanish topics such as national stereotypes, European integration, violence, race, sexual identities, and gender relations, as well as relevant concepts in Film Studies such as cinematic genre, gaze theory, and spectatorship.
