SPAN 124 - (LT) Portrait of the Hispano: The Question of Identity

Semester Hours: 3
Periodically
The issue of national and regional identity has been a constant obsession of writers and thinkers in Spain and Spanish America since at least the end of the 19th century. This course traces the trajectory of this obsession through the writings of authors such as Unamuno, Martí, Paz, J. Goytisolo, and Lezama Lima. Who qualifies for inclusion in these formulations? Who is excluded from them? Is it even possible to describe the character of a people or a nation? What is the social function of such portraits?
