SPAN 80.15 Indignant Spain Today: Crisis and New Social Movements

This course exams the notion of "crisis" as a creative paradigm for rethinking traditional experiences of the political, social, and cultural spheres in today's Spain. The course will focus on the deep connections between democracy and alternative ways of thinking about the political participation of citizens confronting the dismantling of their social, family, and individual welfare by global and national neoliberalist economic and social policies. Students will read from a wide array of texts (literature, cultural and political theory) and also watch documentaries and films on the idea of "crisis" as it is currently playing itself out in Spain's 15m and Indignados movements. Works by: Martín Patino, Alvarez, Thorton, Grueso, Lacuesta, Arce among others.
