Description:


NYU Madrid is seeking a part-time lecturer to teach
Cultures and Contexts: Spain, sponsored by the College Core Curriculum of NYU's College of Arts and Science.

The course will run during the Fall and Spring semesters, beginning in Fall 2023 (late August-Dec 2023).


Cultures and Contexts


Cultures and Contexts prepares students for life in a globalized world by introducing them to the ways in which humans come to understand themselves as members of social, religious, national, and regional collectives and by fostering their appreciation of the dynamics of cultural interaction and influence.

Individual sections focus on specific social or cultural groups different from the dominant traditions of contemporary North America.

They share a common concern to examine the ways cultures have interacted, for example, through trade, colonization, immigration, religious dispersion, and media representation; how such groups define themselves against internal and external difference; and how the dominant perspective of Western modernity affects comprehension of the ways in which people outside that position understand, experience, and imagine their lives.


Offerings include emergent traditions, diaspora formations, and societies understood as nationally, geographically, or culturally distinct from the dominant traditions of contemporary North America.

Courses focusing on ancient civilizations are also included, as are courses that address contemporary challenges to traditional European conceptions of national identity.


Course Description

What does Spanish culture look like? How do Spanish artists and writers articulate the often complex understandings they have of themselves, their nation(s), their relation to modernity, and the broader international community? How has Spain been viewed by others, and how have these views informed individual and collective responses to Spain's place in the world.

We critically approach Spanish culture by learning about specific works, their close analysis, and the contexts in which they exist (when they were made, how they were perceived, and how we come to study them today), from the 19th to the 21st century, a period of time that covers Spain's transition from its imperial pasts to its democratic present, with important historical moments throughout, including the Spanish-American War, the Spanish Civil War, and the dictatorship of General Francisco Franco.

We study fiction, poetry, film, television, painting, poster art, photography, performance, and architecture; and whenever possible we connect with programs at Madrid's museums, theaters, and parks.


The course will ideally make thorough use of the city of Madrid both as a resource (for example, through use of archives and museums) and an object of analysis.

A sample syllabus is available for review.
