SPAN 352 - La Guerra Civil Reinventada

Unit(s): 4

After carefully exploring notions of evil, particularly emerging from the Catholic ethos as well as from Modernity’s conception of this moral category, we will read closely literary works written in Spanish which feature diverse manifestations of “evil” as embodied by certain archetypal characters: the caudillo, the dictator and the criminal, as well as the marginalized subject. Our readings will be thematic and include texts from different periods, including examples from the Spanish picaresque, as well as literature from the Latin American Boom and Post Boom.
