| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. "Representations of, and Reactions to, the Spanish Civil War". Often overlooked in twentieth century world history, the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) transcended the National scale, becoming a prelude to World War II and the international battle against fascism. This course introduces the causes and consequences of the war which ended with the defeat of the Spanish Republic, ushering in Francoist Spain, a thirty-six-year period of Spanish history from the war's end in 1939 to Franco's death in 1975. The war has long impacted Spain's historical memory, the 1977 Pacto del olvido (Pact of Forgetting) legislation attempted to concentrate on the future of Spain, but gave amnesty for crimes and atrocities committed during war and Franco's dictatorship. This course introduces artistic and political representations before, during, and after the war. It presents the rise of fascism, anarchism, and communism in the historical and social context of Spain. We will study the international response to the war, including the volunteers-many of them American in integrated white and black brigade known as the Brigada Albraham Lincoln-who fought and the countries who welcomed Spanish exiles after the Republic was defeated. Conversations in class are designed around the representations of the Civil War as we view them from the present. |
