Pedro Almodóvar's films reflect the evolving social and cultural environment of Spain in the post-Franco era. (Photo by jacicita on Flickr.)
Prof. Margery Resnick
21G.740
Spring 2010
Undergraduate
In this class we will come to understand the vast changes in Spanish life that have taken place since Franco's death in 1975. We will focus on the new freedom from censorship, the re-emergence of movements for regional autonomy, the new cinema, reforms in education and changes in daily life: sex roles, work, and family that have occurred in the last decade. In so doing, we will examine myths that are often considered commonplaces when describing Spain and its people.
