| Description: | SPA 313: Madness and Violence in Spanish Theatre. Spanish literature has always had a particular fascination with madness. Pablo Neruda famously said: "Hay un cierto placer en la locura, que solo el loco conoce." In fact, the first modern, European novel, Don Quijote (1615) is organized around an exploration of reality vs. psychosis in its eponymous protagonist. Modern Spanish and Latin American theater have also explored similar themes across a variety of characters and contexts. This coming semester, we'll examine the role of madness and its connection to violence in works by Lorca, Artaud, Rodolfo Usigli, Osvaldo Drag n, Griselda Gambaro, and others. We'll be particularly interested in the way that theater facilitates the representation and exploration of ideas and characters that polite society asks us to overlook. Questions of political violence and gender will be of particular concern to us. This short, ½ credit course is for students who have completed or are co-registered in SPA 302. |
