Course FB-26 THE CIVIL WAR AND PRESENT–DAY SPANISH LITERATURE Lecturer: D. Cipriano Lopez Lorenzo [email protected] Back-up Lecturer: D. Ivan Garcia [email protected] OBJECTIVES The aim of this Course is to explore the interaction of History and Literature, using as a point of departure an historical event which has had wide-ranging effects upon Spanish literary output: the Civil War of 1936. An overview of the cultural and literary context of the nineteen thirties will be provided, as well as of the evolution of the Civil War and its consequences for Spanish Literature between the nineteen forties and the present day. In this way, what will be sought after is a clearer understanding of the contemporary literary scenario via its development during the second half of the twentieth century. Methodology A theoretical-practical approach will be adopted in class sessions: the input-lecture on each syllabus point will be enhanced by the discussion of the readings which have been selected. Syllabus 1. The socio-political context: from Republic to Dictatorship. The antecedents of the Civil War. 2. The Spanish Civil War: literature within Spain and the literature of exile. 3. The Civil War and the contemporary Spanish novel: from the post-war period to the present day. - Narrative written from within exile: La cabeza del cordero by Francisco Ayala. - The Novel in Spain: Los santos inocentes by Miguel Delibes and La voz dormida by Dulce Chacon. 4. The Civil War and Drama: from the post-war period to the present time. - The drama of protest and grievance: Historia de una escalera by Antonio Buero Vallejo. - New forms of dramatic expression and the universalization of the Civil War: Angelica Liddell and Rodrigo Garcia. 5. The Civil War and Poetry: from the post-war years to the present day. - Miguel Hernandez as a key figure. - Blas de Otero’s social poetry. - The new voices and the poetry of recent years. BIBLIOGRAPHY Lecturers will provide students with a booklet of the selected texts to be analyzed during class sessions.

Madrid: Catedra, the most recent edition. - Miguel Delibes. Los santos inocentes. Barcelona: Planeta, the most recent edition. - Antonio Buero Vallejo. Historia de una escalera.

Staging History in Modern and Contemporary Spanish Drama
Staging History in Modern and Contemporary Spanish Drama By Andreea Iulia Sprinceana A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair Professor Michael Iarocci Professor Shannon Jackson Spring 2014 Copyright Andreea Iulia Sprinceana, 2014 All rights reserved. Abstract Staging History in Modern and Contemporary Spanish Drama by Andreea Iulia Sprinceana Doctor of Philosophy in Romance Languages and Literatures University of California, Berkeley Professor Dru Dougherty, Chair This dissertation explores the manifestations, uses and appropriations of history in key Spanish plays from the 1950s to the present. The relationship between the stage and history casts new light on Spain’s most critical phases in recent history. The authors studied were and are conscious of making history under the dictatorship, during the Transition and at the dawn of the 21st century. As instruments of civic action, their plays perform that awareness and invite spectators to recognize themselves as players in the process. The dissertation opens with a comparative analysis of plays written by Antonio Buero Vallejo and Alfonso Sastre between the 1950s and the Transition (1977). While scholars have tended to contrast these two playwrights focusing on their responses to censorship, I propose that Buero and Sastre gravitated towards a poetics of forgiveness through the model of the failed tragic hero. The following chapter explores plays written by José Sanchis Sinisterra during the Transition and the outset of the new democracy (1977-1994), that problematize the tension between the new political order and the old, imperial rhetoric of the Franco regime.

Pdf Historia Política E Historia Social En El Teatro De Antonio Buero Vallejo
HISTORIA POLÍTICA E HISTORIA SOCIAL EN EL TEATRO DE ANTONIO BUERO VALLEJO, ILUSTRADAS CON “HISTORIA DE UNA ESCALERA” Prólogo La meta perseguida con este texto-conferencia es la de mostrar, primero, las fases histórico-políticas relevan tes de un país (España->Madrid) y época (1936-1975) precisos, pero no consultando exacta y únicamente los li bros y manuales de dicha materia, sino constatando cómo ésta toma forma (implícita o explícitamente) en las obras literarias. Lo que quiere decir, segundo, que los hechos histórico-políticos van a formar ‘el hilo conductor’ de nuestra actividad; actividad que, entonces, pretende cal car la época e importancia que esos hechos han desperta do en algunas obras literarias de los que éstas surgen y son al mismo tiempo también espejo reflector. No olvidemos las palabras que escribió Stendhal (1783- 1842) en su gran novela Le Rouge et le Noir. Un roman: c’est un miroir qu'on promène le long d’un chemin. SAINT-REAL.1 1 “Una novela: es un espejo que paseamos a lo largo de un camino”. SAINT-REAL (Traducción Nuestra). Stendhal. Le Rouge et le Noir. Paris : Garnier-Flammarion, 1964, p. 100. 407 ÁNGEL DÍAZ ARENAS BBMR LXXVI, 2000 Palabras a las que no sólo podemos, sino inclusive debemos añadir otras no menos sabias y certeras escritas por Nicolás Boileau (1636-1711) en el verso 295 de “El Arte Poético”: Instruiré et plaire.2 Aserto que explicita claramente nuestra intención, aun que invirtiéndolo, ‘deleitar e instruir’; ya que su audición y lectura debe ser ligera, apacible y ‘deleitosa’, pero al mismo tiempo ‘instructiva’, informativa y esclarecedora.
