Literature, Theater, and Film of Post-War Spain

4 Credits

While Franco’s dictatorship caste devastation on an already fragile nation, cultural production born from these oppressive years is some of the richest in modern Spanish history. In examining works by Carmen Laforet, Antonio Buero Vallejo, and Carlos Saura, among others, we will explore the ways in which the genres of literature, theater, and film worked to promote or contest ideologies during times of terror and censorship.
