  • Spanish 371–The Cinema of Spain: Nation, Exile, and Social Marginalization
    WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY OF NEW JERSEY DEPARTMENT OF LANGUAGES AND CULTURES I. Course title: SPANISH 371–THE CINEMA OF SPAIN: NATION, EXILE, AND SOCIAL MARGINALIZATION, Prerequisites: Span 221, Span 250. Credits: 3 Winter, 2011 Level: Undergraduate Dr. Bruce Williams [email protected] II. Course description: Course presents an introduction to the cinema of Spain from the political allegories and exile films of the Franco era to the cultural renaissance of the 1980s. Cinema is viewed as an inherent part of twentieth-century Peninsular literary/cultural production. Special attention is devoted to the unique situations of Spanish history which render the country’s cinema considerably distinct from other European national traditions. Topics to be discussed include the representation of nation in film, surrealist visions, women and cinema, and minority discourses. Course taught in Spanish. III. Course objectives: 1. Course will present an in-depth critical overview of theoretical approaches common in the study of Peninsular Spanish cinema. 2. It will explore historical factors which led to the evolution of a unique sense of “nation” in this cinema. 3. It will examine the notion of exile cinema. 4. Course will foster interpretative skills which facilitate an understanding of the development of cinema in Spain from the Franco dictatorship to the movida of the 1980s. 5. It will examine Spain’s minority cinemas (Galicia, Basque Country, Catalunya) and will situate these divergent discourses within the broader context of world cinema. IV. Student learning outcomes: 1. Students will demonstrate ability to contextualize Spanish cinema within the broader scope of world cinema. 2. They will discuss orally and in writing principal directors (Buñuel, Saura, Almodóvar, Bigas Luna).

  • The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity
    International Journal of History and Cultural Studies (IJHCS) Volume 3, Issue 1, 2017, PP 63-76 ISSN 2454-7646 (Print) & ISSN 2454-7654 (Online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2454-7654.0301008 www.arcjournals.org The Heritage of AL-ANDALUS and the Formation of Spanish History and Identity Imam Ghazali Said Indonesia Abstract: This research deals with the Islamic cultural heritage in al-Andalus and its significance for Spanish history and identity. It attempts to answer the question relating to the significance of Islamic legacies for the construction of Spanish history and identity. This research is a historical analysis of historical sources or data regarding the problem related to the place and contribution of al-Andalus’ or Islamic cultural legacies in its various dimensions. Source-materials of this research are particularly written primary and secondary sources. The interpretation of data employs the perspective of continuity and change, and continuity and discontinuity, in addition to Foucault’s power/knowledge relation. This research reveals thatal-Andalus was not merely a geographical entity, but essentially a complex of literary, philosophical and architectural construction. The lagacies of al-Andalus are seen as having a great significance for the reconstruction of Spanish history and the formation of Spanish identity, despite intense debates taking place among different scholar/historians. From Foucauldian perspective, the break between those who advocate and those who challenge the idea of convivencia in social, religious, cultural and literary spheres is to a large extent determined by power/knowledge relation. The Castrian and Albornozan different interpretations of the Spanish history and identity reflect their relations to power and their attitude to contemporary political situation that determine the production of historical knowledge.

Many of them are multilingual and also have text for example in Spanish or French. Only one of them has the rare language combination Swedish and Basque: Euskadi-bulletinen, which was published in 1975–1976 in solidarity with the independence movement in the Basque Country. This short-lived publication and its historical context are described in this article.1 Euskadi-bulletinen was published by Askatasuna ('freedom' in Basque), which described itself as a “committee for solidarity with the Basque people's struggle for freedom and socialism (1975:1, p. 24). “Euskadi” in the bulletin's title did not only refer to the three provinces Araba, Biscay and Gipuzkoa in northern Spain, but also to the neighbouring region Navarre and the three historical provinces Lapurdi, Lower Navarre and Zuberoa in southwestern France. This could be seen directly on the covers which all are decorated with maps including all seven provinces.

I shall ground my analysis in how people live their lives within a religious and cultural frame, and how universal values can be discerned at the grassroot levels that resonate across boundaries of ethnicity and civilization. Thus I will address one of Session 3 Session the main questions posed by the organizers of this session: What are the possibilities of creating a new universal human civilization that can resolve the conflict of civilizations, and how should it be discussed? Personal biography To anchor my discussion, permit me to give a piece of my own biography: I grew up in Northern Norway on an island in the Arctic Ocean 300 far beyond the Arctic Circle.

  • Writing from and for the Periphery Carving out a Place for Spanish Food Studies
    103Repensar los estudios ibéricos desde la periferia editado por José Colmeiro y Alfredo Martínez-Expósito Writing from and for the Periphery Carving Out a Place for Spanish Food Studies Lara Anderson (The University of Melbourne, Australia) Abstract This article explores the notion of the periphery as it concerns Hispanic food studies. It argues that the periphery has a multiplicity of meanings in this context, and also that it is useful for various methodological and substantive reasons. These include the initial academic marginalisation of food studies itself, the slow acceptance of culinary texts as an object of academic study, as well as the ongoing drive to move food studies from the margins of Hispanic cultural studies. By refer- ence to the Author’s own research on Spanish culinary nationalism, this article also shows how the tension between centre and periphery is key to understanding Spanish food discourses of the past few centuries. This discussion hopes to show that the academy is increasingly paying attention to peripheral cultures and objects of study. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Food Studies: Transcending the Periphery. – 3 Spanish Food Culture and the Peripheral. Keywords Hispanic food studies. Spanish food studies. Culinary nationalism. Spanish cuisine. Spanish regionalisms. 1 Introduction Hispanic food studies is a most apt topic for any discussion of the periphery. Food studies, broadly speaking, has slowly moved from a peripheral position in the academy to one of prestige and popularity. If, however, food studies scholars have been alive to the food cultures and discourses of countries such as France, England and Italy, the Spanish-speaking world has only recently begun to receive this type of scholarly attention.1 Although academic inquiry into the food cultures of the Spanish world is relatively new, journalistic dis- cussions about the nature of Spanish cuisine date back to the late nineteenth century.

  • 80 Years of Spanish Cinema Fall, 2013 Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00-10:20Am, Salomon 004
    Brown University Department of Hispanic Studies HISP 1290J. Spain on Screen: 80 Years of Spanish Cinema Fall, 2013 Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00-10:20am, Salomon 004 Prof. Sarah Thomas 84 Prospect Street, #301 [email protected] Tel.: (401) 863-2915 Office hours: Thursdays, 11am-1pm Course description: Spain’s is one of the most dynamic and at the same time overlooked of European cinemas. In recent years, Spain has become more internationally visible on screen, especially thanks to filmmakers like Guillermo del Toro, Pedro Almodóvar, and Juan Antonio Bayona. But where does Spanish cinema come from? What themes arise time and again over the course of decades? And what – if anything – can Spain’s cinema tell us about the nation? Does cinema reflect a culture or serve to shape it? This course traces major historical and thematic developments in Spanish cinema from silent films of the 1930s to globalized commercial cinema of the 21st century. Focusing on issues such as landscape, history, memory, violence, sexuality, gender, and the politics of representation, this course will give students a solid training in film analysis and also provide a wide-ranging introduction to Spanish culture. By the end of the semester, students will have gained the skills to write and speak critically about film (in Spanish!), as well as a deeper understanding and appreciation of Spain’s culture, history, and cinema. Prerequisite: HISP 0730, 0740, or equivalent. Films, all written work and many readings are in Spanish. This is a writing-designated course (WRIT) so students should be prepared to craft essays through multiple drafts in workshops with their peers and consultation with the professor.

  • The Musical Bridge—Intercultural Regionalism and the Immigration Challenge in Contemporary Andalusia
    genealogy Article The Musical Bridge—Intercultural Regionalism and the Immigration Challenge in Contemporary Andalusia Daniele Conversi 1,2,* and Matthew Machin-Autenrieth 3 1 Department of Contemporary History, University of the Basque Country UPV/EHU, 48940 Leioa, Spain 2 Ikerbasque, Basque Foundation for Science, 48013 Bilbao, Spain 3 Faculty of Music, University of Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 9DP, UK; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 1 November 2019; Accepted: 24 December 2019; Published: 30 December 2019 Abstract: The ideals of tolerance and cultural exchange associated with the interfaith past of Muslim Spain (al-Andalus) have become a symbol for Andalusian regionalism and for the integration of Moroccan communities. Nowhere is this more keenly felt than in the context of music. In cities such as Granada, Moroccan and Spanish musicians actively promote the ideals of intercultural dialogue through the performance of repertoires such as flamenco and Arab-Andalusian music that allegedly possess a shared cultural history. In this article, we examine the interrelationship between music and ‘intercultural regionalism’, focusing on how music is used by public institutions to ground social integration in the discourse of regionalism. Against a backdrop of rising Islamophobia and the mobilization of right-wing populist and anti-immigration rhetoric both within Spain and internationally, the authors consider how music can be used to promote social integration, to overcome Islamophobia and to tackle radicalization. We advance two arguments. First, we argue that the musical interculturalism promoted by a variety of institutions needs to be understood within the wider project of Andalusian regionalism. Here, we note that musical integration of Spain’s cultural and historical ‘Other’ (Moroccans) into Andalusian society is promoted as a model for how Europe can overcome the alleged ‘death of multiculturalism’.
