Prerequisite(s): HISP 240 and 1 HISP course numbered between 250-330, or consent of instructor.
Domain (Anchored): ALV
An introduction to the Spanish empire as “imagined” in the early modern period. We examine cultural artifacts (novels, theatrical representations, chronicles, etc.), the ideological foundations upon which the Spanish empire legitimizes itself, and investigate the subordinating representation of women, Muslims/moriscos, indigenous peoples, and their dissent and resistance.
