SP45YA: KEY TOPICS IN MODERN SPANISH CULTURE 2B (2015-2016)

Last modified: 25 Mar 2016 11:36


Course Overview

This course offers an opportunity to study a theme in Hispanic culture. In 2015-16 the theme will be Narrating Collective Pasts in the Hispanic World. People in all societies give collective accounts of their collective pasts. However, these accounts differ in kind from one society to another, even across the Hispanic world. The first part of the course looks at different approaches to the study of such accounts. The second part compares accounts of collective pasts across the Hispanic world, focusing on “history” as one way of narrating a collective past. It will be taught by Dr Stack.
