This course will study, in the context of modern and contemporary Spanish literature, the critical dichotomy between reading as a cognitive, dispassionate activity, and reading as an affecting, and affective, experience. Using examples from diverse genres and texts (including film) we will start by focusing on how once a text is perceived as promoting emotional responses, its place becomes pre-determined in an intellectual hierarchy of taste where the affective is always secondary to the rational, the feminine to the masculine, the body to the mind. We will then go on to focus on the effects and the affects of literature, underlining the manifold ways in which texts can mobilize both feeling and cognition, pathos and agency.
