RL 665 Meditations on Madness (Fall: 3)

Prerequisite: Contextos, concurrent enrollment in Contextos, or permission of instructor
Offered Periodically
Conducted in Spanish
This course will take an interdisciplinary and transatlantic approach to explore the relationship between madness and other major motifs such as love, creativity, reason, the uncanny, and the feminine. Through the exploration of various manifestations of madness in literature and the visual arts, we will trace the role it has played in Spanish and Spanish-American culture. We will discuss texts ranging from the Spanish Golden Age to contemporary Latin America.
