Through selected readings, in-class discussions, film screenings, field trips, guest speakers, lecture-demonstration, and student presentations, we will develop an in-depth understanding of what this complex culture is like, how it became that way, and how it is likely to develop in the future. Artists to be studied include Basque sculptor Cristina Ignesias, ballet choreographer Nacho Duato, flamenco superstars Paco de Lucia, Estrella Morente, and Sara Baras, plus filmmaker Pedro Almodovar.
