THE HISTORY OF SPANISH CINEMA General description The cinema constitutes the most popular artistic expression of the XXth century. Is expressive strength and narrative capacity have converted it into the most important means of moving the sensitivity of the modern spectator. In the case of the Spanish cinema, film production provides us with a splendid opportunity to fully understand the reality of our country in our century, from two of the most interesting view points, as historical documentary and also as aesthetic expression. In this way, objective reality, critical attitude, ideological postulations and artistic creativity, etc. are elements to be discussed and studied in the realms of this course, all dealt with from a temporal evolution which begins with the origins of the complexity of Spanish cinematographic creation to the present-day. Syllabus content 1.- Introduction 2.- The beginnings. Silent cinema and talking movies. 3.- Cinema during the Civil War and Franco’s dictatorship. 4.- The 40’s 5.- The 50’s 6.- The 60’s 7.- The 70’s: End of the dictatorship, transition and democracy. 8.- The 80’s: The democracy. 9.- The 90’s 10.- Present-day cinema There will be a theoretical part which will not be too ample. Viewing of scenes from interesting and/or emblematic films from each period. Special attention will be paid to certain films and students will be given a dossier on each of them. We will also study some of the great Spanish directors: Buñuel, Bardem, Berlanga, Iciar Bollain, Carlos Saura, Almodóvar and Amenábar. Students will be given specific information on certain periods. Activities The classes will be in the timetable established by the Centre. The course is of a theoretical and practical nature, and the class lectures are supplemented with viewing of and commentary on the most important films in the Spanish cinema. For this reason it is important for the students to be familiar with the film section of the video library in the CLM, and also to be involved in the organisation of and participation in film cycles and seminars related to this topic. A visit to film libraries or exhibitions related to Spanish cinema would also be of interest. 48 Centro de Lenguas Modernas – Universidad de Granada - Syllabus Hispanic Studies Course Assessment The CLM norms are minimum attendance of 80%. The final mark will be: 35% class work 30% participation, homework and compulsory reading. 35% group presentations(1 per group) Bibliography - AGUILAR, C y GENOVER, J., El cine español en sus intérpretes, Madrid, Verdoux, 1992 - ALONSO BARAHONA, F., Biografía del cine español, Barcelona, CILEH, 1992 - GALÁN, D., Memorias del cine español, Madrid, Tele Radio, 1981 - GARCÍA ESCUDERO, J.M., Cine español, Madrid, Rialp, 1962 - GARCÍA FERNÁNDEZ, E.C., Historia ilustrada del cine español, Barcelona, Planeta, 1985 - GARCÍA FERNÁNDEZ, E.C., El cine español contemporáneo, Barcelona, CILEH, 1993 - GÓMEZ BERMÚDEZ DE CASTRO, R.

  • Between Both Sides of the Atlantic Galician Visual Artists in New York
    79Repensar los estudios ibéricos desde la periferia editado por José Colmeiro y Alfredo Martínez-Expósito Between Both Sides of the Atlantic Galician Visual Artists in New York Ekaterina Volkova (The University of Auckland, New Zealand) Abstract The growing field of Galician cultural studies has been moving rapidly out of the periphery of academic scholarship. The latest developments in this field have been marked by the effects of globalization and the expansion of its scope to include areas previously considered as a ‘periphery’ of cultural studies, such as visual arts. Influenced by these tendencies, this paper focuses on two contemporary Galician visual artists, both internationally acclaimed, sculptor Francisco Leiro and painter Antonio Murado. They are both prominent Galician artists whose sources of creative power are linked to their Galician roots. Currently they are both based in New York, one of the most impor- tant centres of contemporary art in the global stage. This essay discusses Leiro and Murado’s oeuvre as an example of the cross-cultural connections between the two sides of the Atlantic. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Galician Cultural Studies Today. – 3 Francisco Leiro. – 4 Antonio Murado. – 5 Conclusion. Keywords Galician studies. Visual Art. Francisco Leiro. Antonio Murado. 1 Introduction Rethinking Hispanic studies from the ‘periphery’ naturally invites us to take into consideration the centre-periphery model, which in the social sci- ences is used to explain the relationship between an advanced ‘centre’ and a less developed ‘periphery’. Already at the end of the nineteenth century, Marxist theorists showed the centre-periphery antagonism between town and country. The formulation of basic aspects of the centre-periphery mod- el in terms of economic inequalities is widely associated with the works by Gunnar Myrdal (1957) and Albert Hirschman (1958).

Fictions of Abundance in Early Modern Madrid: Hospitality, Consumption, and Artistic Identity in the Work of Juan van der Hamen y Leon CARMEN RIPOLLES, Portland State University This article examines how still-life painting contributed to the creation of a distinct urban aristocratic culture in seventeenth-century Madrid. Focusing on a group of paintings by Juan van der Hamen, the article situates these images within the context of the picture gallery and the practice of aristocratic hospitality. By giving visual form to this new urban mode of magnificence, Van der Hamen’s still lifes created a fiction of abundance that glossed over Madrid’s economic realities.

  • Baroque for a Wide Public
    Banal art history. Baroque, modernization and official cinematography in Franco’s Spain1 Noemi de Haro-García Dictatorship, mass media and the nationalization of the masses After a failed military coup against the legitimate government of the Spanish Second Republic and a civil war (1936–1939) won by the rebels, the dictator Francisco Franco would rule Spain until his death in 1975. One of the most successful models for the new Spain was that of the Spanish Golden Age under the Habsburg dynasty that ruled an empire ‘on which the sun never set’. This model was interpreted in many different and sometimes even contradictory ways by a number of individuals, groups and collectives that supported the regime. The resulting combination was flexible and adaptable and thus also extremely resilient throughout almost forty years of dictatorship. Artists, intellectuals, politicians and propagandists drew from this imagined tradition to legitimize not only Franco and the dictatorship, but also the right of the groups that supported it to be in relevant positions of power; that was the case of the Military, the monarchists, the Carlists, the conservative Catholics and the Falange party members.2 In the case of the visual arts, there were references to the great masters of the Golden Age, to their creations and to the main values associated with them such as spirituality, realism and Spanishness3 in all kinds of objects and cultural practices that were directed towards wide audiences. Francoism was nevertheless, certainly not inventing anything new, it was employing to its advantage strategies and accepted symbols that already existed. On the one hand, it mostly selected, combined and 1 This work has been funded by a ‘Ramón y Cajal’ postdoctoral contract (RYC-2013-12888) and is related to the research projects Larga exposición: las narraciones del arte contemporáneo español para los ‘grandes públicos’ (HAR2015-67059-P), Literatura y cultura de la Transición (UAM-CV002), and Cultura, protesta y movimientos sociales en la España contemporánea (2015/EEU/04).

Director of Thesis Master's Committee: 3 GOYA AND THE INTERNATIONAL ART MOVEMENTS OFIDSTIME Beverly L. McNutt, M.A. Morehead State University, 1991 Director of Thesis: Ryan A. Howard Francisco de Paula Jose Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was one of the greatest artists ever produced by Spain. Living a long and productive life, Goya was able to participate in and contribute to many contemporary and future international art movements, while remaining a traditional Spanish artist. If this seems to be a contradictory statement, all one has to do is examine his life and work to discover a man capable of astonishing transformations. He was a chameleon, changing his colors against the political and artistic landscape of his world. However, he never did this in an obsequious way; he was just not content with the status quo and was always open to new ideas. His mature art is always original and daring, yet could contain aspects of the prevalent style. 4 As with any brilliant, passionate artist, it is sometimes difficult to separate myth from reality about his life in the 1 700s and early 1800s.

Erasmus of Rotterdam (23 August 1517) … ‘Le vrai, toujours le vrai, c’est ta seule devise’. Théophile Gautier ⸪ Arguably the most influential date for the reception of Spanish painting is 1838, the year the famous Galerie Espagnole or Spanish Gallery opened at the Louvre. There, more than 400 paintings of the Spanish Baroque were dis- played, the result of careful collecting in the previous years by Louis-Philippe as part of an institutional campaign that cost the French government 1.3 mil- lion francs.2 The exhibition would last only ten years, but the impact it had in the European art world for both painters and critics alike can still be felt today. 1 The research in preparation for this study has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007–2013) ERC Grant Agreement number 323316, CORPI project ‘Conversion, Overlapping Religiosities, Polemics, Interaction. Early Modern Iberia and Beyond’.

  • SPANISH PAINTING from EL GRECO to PICASSO (45 Class Hours) Lecturer: Dr
    Course GA-11 SPANISH PAINTING FROM EL GRECO TO PICASSO (45 class hours) Lecturer: Dr. Alberto Fernández González ([email protected]) Substitute Lecturer: Dr. Joaquín Álvarez Cruz ([email protected] ) OBJECTIVES The aim of this Course is to allow students from abroad to become familiar with the art scene in Spain between circa 1550 and 1973, especially with regard to Painting. Divided into syllabus blocks, class sessions will explore areas of interest such as Renaissance Painting, Baroque Art, Painting and Neoclassicism, the Pictorial Art of the Romantic Period, of the remaining Nineteenth Century, and of the Twentieth. Special attention will be paid to the insertion of Painting within the environment of other art forms (Architecture, Sculpture, and the Applied Arts), while also debating the cultural and social phenomena which contribute to the characterization of each of the periods concerned and which exert an influence upon the genesis and evolution of art forms. METHODOLOGY Class sessions will be carried out in such a way as to cater for students from abroad who may not be sufficiently familiar with the art forms of the Hispanic world. The inconveniences derived from language use will be kept in mind, therefore, as well as the kind of cultural background and training students would already have experienced. Practical classes will also be held at Sevilla's Museum of Fine Arts, so that the learning process in which students are involved can develop in direct contact with the paintings on display, while possible exhibitions related to Course content will also be visited. SYLLABUS 1. General Considerations concerning Painting in the Final Third of the Sixteenth Century and in the Twentieth Century.
