  • Spanish Around the World Tpc: Repression/Revolution & Arts

    SPAN241

    Topic: Repression, Revolution and the ArtsIn this course, short selections in prose and poetry manifest popular revolutionary responses to repressive regimes throughout the ages, in Hispanic nations. We will examine issues of race and ethnicity, gender identity, and socio-political/ economic, and environmental conditions that have resulted in social change. Cinematographic, musical and artistic creations complement and corroborate themes of dictatorial governments, military violence, religious self-righteousness, and families fragmented by civil war. Particular focus will highlight discrimination based on class, race, and gender; including Indigenous peoples, the African diaspora, women, and queer identities.
