Students are strongly advised not to exceed the upper word limit. The Dissertation carries 20 ECTS credits. 3 SP4031/SP4032 SPANISH LANGUAGE (20 ECTS credits) In preparation for the end-of-year written language examinations (two papers of 3 hours each), and an oral examination of about 15 minutes, you will continue your study of Spanish language, attending two classes a week (one hour each) in written Spanish and one class (one hour) in spoken Spanish. Learning Outcomes: at the end of the academic year students should be able to: - demonstrate fluent and accurate oral capability in Spanish - translate Spanish texts into English, with sensitivity to idiom, register, and style - accurately translate English texts into Spanish - evaluate different Spanish-to-English translations of the same text(s) - analyze linguistically and stylistically a variety of Spanish texts - write in Spanish on a wide range of topics. SP4003 MEDIEVAL SPANISH LITERATURE (10 ECTS credits) All students are required to take the module in Medieval Spanish Literature. The module analyses the three core texts of Medieval Spanish literature, each set within a comprehensive contextual background. Special attention will be given to the reception of the texts in contemporary criticism. Regular presentations will be required. Students will hand in an essay of between 2,500 and 3,000 words on Wednesday 12 April 2017 by 5 p.m. – it will count for 30% of the final mark for this module. At the end of the academic year students will sit a 2-hour paper that will count for the remaining 70% of the final mark for this module. Learning Outcomes: By the end of the academic year students should be able to: - discuss in detail the three canonical works of Spanish Medieval literature, Cantar de mío Cid, Libro de Buen Amor by Juan Ruiz and La Celestina, by Fernando de Rojas - undertake a close analysis of the non-adapted original texts and recognize their literary genre, metrical structure and literary figures - identify the linguistic particularities of the works, setting them within a historical linguistic context - discuss the historical and cultural background of the works - draw parallels and compare the texts with other texts from related literary traditions. Prescribed editions Poema de Mio Cid (ed. Ian Michael, Clásicos Castalia) Juan Ruiz, Libro de Buen Amor (ed. G.B. Gybbon-Monypenny, Clásicos Castalia) Fernando de Rojas, La Celestina (ed. Dorothy S. Severin, Ed. Cátedra) TWO SPECIAL SUBJECTS (5 ECTS credits each) You select two Special Subjects (one module in MT and another in HT) on which end-of-year written examinations will be set (one paper of 2 hours on each module). While every effort will be made to accommodate your choice this may not always be possible because of the need to avoid creating groups which are either too large or too small. You may select from the following: MICHAELMAS TERM either (a) Competing Representations of America in Enlightenment Spain Dr Ciara O’Hagan or (b) Writing History and Fiction from the Margins of Society: Prostitutes, Buffoons, Soldiers, and Pícaros Dr Brian Brewer HILARY TERM either (a) The Spanish Transition to Democracy, 1975-1982 Dr Susana Bayó Belenguer or (b) The Languages of Spain and Spanish America Dr Katerina García 4 MT (a) SP4036 Competing Representations of America in Enlightenment Spain During the eighteenth century prominent Enlightenment thinkers such as Montesquieu and Voltaire speculated on whether it would be better if the New World had never been discovered at all. It is the aim of this course to introduce students to the eighteenth-century debates that took place in Spain and Europe over whether the conquest of America was justified, and whether it was worth it. A variety of texts, including travel literature, satire, poetry and apologetic texts, will be studied to reveal the ways in which some of the leading figures of the Spanish Enlightenment responded to the eighteenth-century disputes over America. In order to facilitate the study of the role of America in the literature of the period, the module will also introduce students to the main tenets of Enlightenment thought and will provide a general introduction to the Spanish Enlightenment in the initial two weeks of the course.

    Juan Carlos Frugone Rafael Azcona: atrapados por la vida 2003 - Reservados todos los derechos Permitido el uso sin fines comerciales Juan Carlos Frugone Rafael Azcona: atrapados por la vida Quiero expresar mi agradecimiento profundo a Cristina Olivares, Ignacio Darnaude Díaz, Fernando Lara y Manuela García de la Vega, quienes -de una u otra manera- me han ayudado para que este libro sea una realidad. También, por sus consejos, un agradecimiento para Luis Sanz y José Luis García Sánchez. Y ¿por qué no?, a Rafael Azcona, quien no concede nunca una entrevista, pero me concedió la riqueza irreproducible de muchas horas de su charla. Juan Carlos Frugone [5] Es absurdo preguntarle a un autor una explicación de su obra, ya que esta explicación bien puede ser lo que su obra buscaba. La invención de la fábula precede a la comprensión de su moraleja. JORGE LUIS BORGES [7] ¿Por qué Rafael Azcona? Rafael Azcona no sabe nada de cine. Porque ¿quién que sepa de cine puede negar su aporte indudable a muchas de las obras maestras del cine español e italiano de los últimos treinta años? Él lo niega. Todos sabemos que el cine es obra de un director, de la persona cuyo nombre figura a continuación de ese cartel que señala «un film de». Pero no deja de ser curioso que el común denominador de películas como El cochecito, El pisito, Plácido, El verdugo, Ana y los lobos, El jardín de las delicias, La prima Angélica, Break-up, La gran comilona, Tamaño natural, La escopeta nacional, El anacoreta, La corte de faraón y muchísimas más de la misma envergadura, sea el nombre y el apellido de Rafael Azcona.

  • 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.

  • Accion Mutante
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by University of Salford Institutional Repository “Esto no es un juego, es Acción mutante”: The Provocations of Álex de la Iglesia Peter Buse Núria Triana-Toribio Andrew Willis University of Salford University of Manchester University of Salford Speaking at the Manchester Spanish Film Festival in 2000, Álex de la Iglesia professed that he was not really a film director. “I’m more of a barman”, he claimed, “I just make cocktails”. His films, he implied, were simply an elaborate montage of quotations from other directors, genres, and film-styles, a self-assessment well borne out by Acción mutante (1993), the de la Iglesias team’s1 first feature film, which promiscuously mixes science fiction and comedy, film noir and western, Almodóvar and Ridley Scott. Were such a claim, and its associated renunciation of auteur status, to issue from an American independent director, or even a relatively self-conscious Hollywood director, would it even raise an eyebrow, so eloquently does it express postmodern orthodoxy? And does it make any difference when it comes from a modern Spanish director? As a bravura cut- and-paste job, a frenetic exercise in filmic intertextuality, Acción mutante is highly accomplished, but it would be a mistake to praise or criticize it on the grounds of its postmodern sensibilities alone without taking into account the intervention it made into a specifically Spanish filmic context where, in the words of the title song “Esto no es un juego, es acción mutante”. AFTER THE LEY MIRÓ Álex de la Iglesia has defined his cinema in terms of what it is not.

Vicente SÁNCHEZ-BIOSCA,le Professeur,18 octobre Univ2013 ersidad de Valencia Résumé Au travers de cette recherche, nous nous sommes attachée à analyser la dimension narrative des scénarii, en nous penchant plus spécifiquement sur le travail de Rafael Azcona (1926-2008), auteur de comédies pour le cinéma et la télévision. Parce qu’il a créé et exploité à l'écran un univers personnel et aisément identifiable pour les spectateurs, ce scénariste est considéré, en Espagne au moins, comme un auteur au sens plein. Notre objectif est comprendre comment un style caractéristique a pu survivre à Rafael Azcona, alors même que son texte se dissolvait peu à peu dans tout le processus de la construction d’une œuvre audiovisuelle. Ce travail analytique est d’autant plus délicat que nous devons également tenir compte du fait qu'il a collaboré avec des cinéastes aux mondes très personnels comme Marco Ferreri, Carlos Saura ou Luis García Berlanga. La principale difficulté rencontrée face au travail de Rafael Azcona était de savoir quel est le scénario original d'un film.

  • Film, Literature, and Translation
    1 Film, Literature, and Translation: The Reception of Spain in the United States by Andrea Reisenauer Trabajo fin de Máster directed by Luis Pegenaute Departament de Traducció i Filologia Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona, July 2015 2 ABSTRACT There is an increasing amount of research examining the parallels between the translation and adaptation processes, products, and studies themselves. Many Adaptation Studies scholars call for the use of Translation Studies' theoretical and methodological framework provided by the Polysystem theory to help further Adaptation Studies as a discipline. This study seeks to adopt this Polysystem theory to examine both Spanish adaptations and Spanish translations that have been published or released in the United States between 1980 and 2015. In doing so, it intends to not only reveal the preliminary, combined, and reception norms involved, but also to further demonstrate the parallel between these two processes and the value of a Polysystem approach in Translation Studies and Adaptations Studies. 3 TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.....................................................................................................................................2 TABLE OF CONTENTS.................................................................................................................3 LIST OF TABLES ..........................................................................................................................5 CHAPTER 1—INTRODUCTION...............................................................................................6

    Centro Universitario Internacional ART 330 Historia del cine español en democracia Samuel Neftalí Fernández-Pichel Información de la asignatura: Oficina: Edificio 25, planta baja Primavera de 2017 Email: [email protected] Miércoles Tutorías: Lunes y miércoles , 9:45-10:15 (previa cita) 16:00 – 18:50 Descripción de la asignatura La historia del cine en el Estado español experimenta un proceso de transformación con la llegada de la democracia tras la muerte del dictador Francisco Franco en 1975. La nueva realidad política y social del país, junto a la abolición definitiva de la censura y las sucesivas medidas de regulación del audiovisual, provocan la homologación del cine español en el espacio cultural europeo y mundial, con sus logros y sus fracasos. Partiendo de una breve aproximación a las tendencias cinematográficas (sub)nacionales hasta los albores de la democracia, el curso analizará la evolución histórica del cine español de las últimas cuatro décadas. Este programa pretende familiarizar al alumno con los componentes fundamentales de la industria cinematográfica española a través de su historia (directores, guionistas, actores, películas, estéticas, tendencias, etc.). En tal proceso, partiremos del análisis de los textos fílmicos (las películas) para identificar en ellas las huellas de los diferentes contextos de producción, así como de los dispositivos narrativos, formales e ideológicos que los conforman y que establecen nexos entre las diferentes épocas, estéticas y textos particulares. Conocimientos previos requeridos Este es un curso introductorio al cine español de las últimas cuatro décadas que, por sus características (dificultad de las lecturas, dinámica de debates, terminología, etc.), está principalmente diseñado para estudiantes con un nivel avanzado de español (B2, MCER).

  • ANGÉLICA Cortometrajeangelica.Es Una Historia De Géneros Cruzados
    ANGÉLICA Cortometrajeangelica.es Una historia de géneros cruzados como el drama, el suspense y la fantasía. Angélica afronta cuestiones existenciales e intenta arrojar luz sobre la oscuridad que, a veces, nos causa preguntarnos quiénes somos realmente. 1 SINOPSIS España, 1950. Cintia Roldán es una actriz sin éxito que vive rodeada por sus retratos, en una mansión algo olvidada, junto a su sirvienta. Ha accedido a protagonizar una película cuyo rodaje es inmediato y para la que tienen que transformarla en una persona anciana. Para realizar la prueba llegan a la casa su mánager, una caracterizadora, el director y el productor del film. Todo transcurre con normalidad hasta que, cuando empieza el proceso, Cintia siente que los visitantes la observan con una preocupación demasiado sospechosa. 2 Angélica es un proyecto de cortometraje de ficción que nació en verano de 2013. Antonio Cuesta y Ro Menéndez se conocieron en un Taller de Dirección y Guion de Cine impartido por Antonio Cuadri en Sevilla y decidieron unirse para sacar adelante esta historia. Él desde la dirección y el guion y ella desde la producción. Desde el principio tuvieron claro que debían reunir a un equipo talentoso, tanto técnico como artístico, para garantizar así un producto de notoria calidad . No es éste el primer trabajo tras las cámaras de ambos pero sí el más ambicioso. La fase de pre-producción ha abarcado siete meses en los que la tarea más ardua fue encontrar a una protagonista capaz de enfrentarse a un personaje tan complejo como Cintia. El rodaje tendrá lugar a finales de Junio, durante tres días, en Burguillos, localidad de Sevilla , que acogerá con los brazos abiertos esta iniciativa y la apoyarán para garantizar mayor difusión de la misma.

SYNOPSIS A man writes, lives and loves in darkness. Fourteen years before, he was in a brutal car crash on the island of Lanzarote. In the accident, he not only lost his sight, he also lost Lena, the love of his life. This man uses two names: Harry Caine, a playful pseudonym with which he signs his literary works, stories and scripts, and Mateo Blanco, his real name, with which he lives and signs the film he directs. After the accident, Mateo Blanco reduces himself to his pseudonym, Harry Caine. If he can’t direct films he can only survive with the idea that Mateo Blanco died on Lanzarote with his beloved Lena. In the present day, Harry Caine lives thanks to the scripts he writes and to the help he gets from his faithful former production manager, Judit García, and from Diego, her son, his secretary, typist and guide. Since he decided to live and tell stories, Harry is an active, attractive blind man who has developed all his other senses in order to enjoy life, on a basis of irony and self‐induced amnesia. He has erased from his biography any trace of his first identity, Mateo Blanco.
