Topic: Spain and the Modern Arab World: 1492-2014 Meets with SPAN 465, CRN 63433 and SAME 490, CRN 63524 Instructor: Eric Calderwood Spain has long been an evocative site for literary and artistic reflections on the past, present, and future of the Arab world. This course will explore the diverse and often contradictory attempts to make sense of Spain's relationship with the Arab world and with its own Islamic past. We will start in 1492, with the fall of the last Muslim kingdom in medieval Iberia, and we will work our way up to the present day, when Spain has become a major destination for immigrants from the Arab-Islamic world. We will study a broad array of Spanish and Arabic sources in English translation, including literary texts, narrative and documentary films, historiography, journalism, and music.
