Class Details

This course focuses on cultural, literary and artistic representations of violence against women in twentieth-century and contemporary Spain. In 2004, Spain passed the Integral Law of Gendered Violence, which was created to protect victims of domestic violence. However, since the passage of the law, the number of women killed as a result of domestic violence has remained steadily high. 60 women were killed in 2005, 68 in 2006, 74 in 2007, and 73 in 2008. We will study how Spanish artists and writers have depicted these shocking realities. Authors read include Camilo José Cela, Dulce Chacón, Pablo Picasso, Iciar Bollaín and Alberto Miralles among others.
