DESCRIPTION
As a way of providing students a starting perspective and a general framework, this course opens with an extensive and chronological view of Spanish history and its cultural/artistic evolution from prehistory to the present. The course continues with an in-depth examination of the current Spanish sociological and political situation, pointing out specific case studies depending on their relevance. By using concepts from these various disciplines, students will learn about how Spain changed from a polarized country in constant distress to become a fully modern, westernized country. Although offering a basic introduction to the different aspects of modern day Spanish society, this class is not exclusively History, Sociology, Anthropology or Politics, but about the comprehension of the various links and multiple implications of these subjects within themselves with the final goal of characterizing the major changes in Spanish society in the last 50 years.
