Centering on Spanish modernist and avant-garde literature, this course spotlights literary-cinematographic texts that test the parameters and limits of the literary as a set of ideological and material as well as sensory and conceptual conventions. Confronting cinema’s formal challenge to the literary writer by introducing temporal-spatial plasticity to the arts and advancing an entirely new visual language, the writers of these hybrid texts, including Valle-Inclán, Baroja, Lorca, Alberti, and Espina, negotiated with the new technology of motion pictures as a modernist form defined by visuality, fragmentation, montage, and movement. Primary texts will be read in tandem with early film theory and some film screenings.
