The course is characterized by students who choose the Spanish language and literature A or B in the course of studies in "Languages, civilization and sciences of language", for all three courses offered (Literary-cultural, Linguistic-philological-language teaching, Political-international). It can also be included in the study plan as «free choice credits» or as a related-supplementary subject.
The course will offer an approach to modern Spanish culture (from the "Siglo de Oro" to the nineteenth century) through the theater. Four theatrical works from different cultural eras will be studied, with a selection of critical texts that facilitate the contextualization of literary texts and with the support of graphic documents and audiovisual material for the spectacle part.
Knowledge and understanding
- Know the main phenomena of the cultural history of Spain from the 17th to the 21st century and the literary periods with their characteristics.
- Know the tools of theatrical analysis with its specific terminology, as well as the critical tradition.
- Know the appropriate skills to deal with the reading, translation and critical analysis of texts in Spanish from the classical and contemporary period.
Ability to apply knowledge and understanding.
- Ability to frame the dramatic text and the theatrical performance in their socio-cultural and literary context.
- Knowing how to critically apply the analysis tools of the text and the theatrical performance, and be able to discuss other critical opinions.
Judgment skills
- Ability to self-assess one's own competence in understanding the Spanish language, and also to autonomously implement strategies to strengthen the passive and active (written and oral) competence of the Spanish language.
- Development of the ability of critical analysis of literary passages (structure, linguistic aspects, relationship with the culture of the moment and evaluation of their contribution to the Hispanic, European and American civilization, etc.), of autonomy of judgment in the interpretation and discussion of critical sources.
Communication skills
In the double written and oral level (in Spanish), the course allows you to acquire the ability to relate to interlocutors (specialists and non-specialists), in order to transmit information, express ideas, pose or solve problems on Spanish culture and literature, critically, using appropriate terminology and referring to adequate and updated bibliographic sources. This communication skill can be developed in the presence and on the virtual classroom forum.

Undertake and plan the study of the material provided by the teacher independently; select bibliographic sources and electronic resources to increase knowledge of the history of modern Spanish theater. The course allows you to acquire autonomous learning skills, which allow you to undertake any subsequent studies of Spanish culture and theater.
