Course is conducted in Spanish. This course examines evolving representations of the monstrous, the spectral, and the supernatural in the literature and visual arts of nineteenth-century Spain. Drawing on historical and contemporary theories of the Gothic, the fantastic, and the spectral, we will examine how nineteenth-century Spanish society explored social issues through supernatural representation. Class discussion will focus on such topics as the treatment of race, class, and gender in the assigned texts, and the role of Othering in the creation of a modern national identity.
