DESCRIPTION
The aim of this course is to analyse the important role that sport plays within modern Spanish culture. The historical framework to this module will be provided by an analysis of the socio-political use of sport by the Francoist dictatorship and the repercussions of this heritage on contemporary Spanish society. The relations between politics, media and sport will serve as a useful route to understanding wider issues in Spain. The module will adopt a hands-on approach to the subject matter including case studies, field trips and guest speakers as well as making constant comparisons with the sports and culture debate in the United States
