Sustainable Development Goals
Learning Goals
In the transition between the 19th and 20th century, the different Iberian literatures are concerned particularly by building its own identity within the context of European literature. The new aesthetic currents are introduced in the Peninsula, causing the emergence of different literary expressions that adapt, in their different genres, the Iberian cultural tradition to the new external conditionings.
This discipline aims to provide students with the critical and analytical knowledge to interpret the most important and relevant moments of contact between the Spanish and Portuguese literature, in the period of incorporation of literary modernity in the Iberian Peninsula, between the arrival of symbolism (1890) and the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War (1936) and its literary and aesthetic consequences.
