Image/Word: Narrative and Photography in Contemporary Spain
SPAN 267
Spring 2025
Section: 01  
Crosslisting: COL 280

The objective of this course is to analyze the relationship between literature and photography, questioning the idea of representation that usually unites them. This relationship goes further than the simple representation of the environment that surrounds us: literature and photography modify not only the perception of, for example, urban space, but also its organization; that is, they have a direct effect on the built environment. This effect creates a productive linkage that challenges the limits of these disciplines and the worlds in which they are created, proving how their work aims not exclusively to describe or represent but also to build. This idea of creating is the base for this seminar, where students will develop a photographic and a narrative/analytic project in which they will test firsthand the relationships and skills seen in the class. Thus, they will be able to see the connections between disciplines and cultures that guide our everyday life. In this seminar we will work with Cuban artist and writer Jacqueline Herranz-Brooks, who will work with students in their creative project.
