HSPST-362/462 Literature on Film

This course will focus on the film adaptations made of Spanish plays and novels and on the texts that originated them. How does verbal translate into visual? How does film narrate or dramatize differently (if so) than literature? Readings will include contemporary as well as classical literary works and the viewing and analysis of their film adaptations: Lope de Vega, García Morales, Manuel Rivas, Fernando Aramburu among others, and movies by Pilar Miró, Erice, Cuerda, Viscarret, and Uribe.
