Conducted in Spanish and fulfills the Post-1800 Peninsular requirement for HS majors. Where does the myth of Don Juan come from, why does it endure in the popular imagination, and what does it tell us about evolving Spanish culture? This course follows the figure of Don Juan from his earliest appearance in the 17th-century Spanish theater through recent experiments in literature and film. Throughout the semester, we will examine how changes in the conceptualization of and attitude towards Don Juan respond to differing artistic and sociohistorical contexts, engaging with questions of gender and sexuality, social class, and Spanish national identity.
