SPAN 45.05 The Stolen Children of Argentina and Spain

In this seminar we will analyze compare and contrast how Argentina and Spain work preserving and dealing with the horrors of the past. We will study theories of memory and trauma and how novels, films, and performances convey the experience of violence, stolen identity, and the search of parents for their lost children and the children’s search for their lost parents. Which languages and which images are used in Spain to reveal publically the crimes that had been hidden for so long? Which similarities and differences can be found in the transatlantic comparison to Argentina?
