DESCRIPTION
Popular Culture in Andalusia includes a wide range of themes pertinent to a better understanding of Spanish folklore and personality: history, art, regional differences, politics, habits, social values, traditions, etc. Andalusia has a unique contact with Mediterranean, European and African cultures.
Understanding a culture, especially when it is as complex as Andalusia's, requires an insight into the historical circumstances that have shaped it. This course targets a number of historical, traditional and social aspects that always point towards the present and to the most significant and emblematic features of Andalusia's current reality. We analyze, not only isolated events, but the circumstances that made them possible, including their contradictory aspects.
The class evolves around a number of on-site study excursions that provides students with a more vivid experience of the Andalusian culture adding an experiential component to the course content. The study excursions articulate the structure of the whole course and provide most of the main topics of the class. The course also focuses on a number of other themes that are illustrated by means of texts, images, art works and daily objects.
