FYS 106G TRAGEDY/FILM/DRAMA (IN SPAN)

Tragic heroines and heroes, tragic flaws, merciless gods, fate, suffering, death, destruction, and catharsis.  Through the analysis of representative examples, including Bodas de Sangre (García Lorca, 1932) and Todo sobre mi madre (Almodóvar, 1999), the course explores the persistence of a "tragic mode" in contemporary Spanish culture and its social and political implications.
