SPAN 061. El “otro”: voces y miradas múltiples

This course is an overview of literary and artistic expressions as a response of the presence of the “other”, contributing to build a collective cultural imaginary of a diverse society where immigration is a compelling influence. Migrant movements within and outside Spain, and their impact on transforming Spanish society, will be studied in theatre, film and literature. The imaginary vision of the “other” will be unveiled as an integral part of the imagined self-identity. Through different readings and visual art forms we will observe the challenge to identity definition caused by an array of people from different races, cultures and religions.
