Key module information

SCOTCAT credits

The Scottish Credit Accumulation and Transfer (SCOTCAT) system allows credits gained in Scotland to be transferred between institutions. The number of credits associated with a module gives an indication of the amount of learning effort required by the learner. European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) credits are half the value of SCOTCAT credits.

SCQF level

SCQF level 9

The Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) provides an indication of the complexity of award qualifications and associated learning and operates on an ascending numeric scale from Levels 1-12 with SCQF Level 10 equating to a Scottish undergraduate Honours degree.

Module description

The aim of the module is the close study of a selection of literary texts (works of prose fiction and poetry, in the main) produced in the post-Franco period. These narratives distance themselves from the realist (and experimental) mode of writing that dominated much of the literature produced between 1939 and the 1970s. Instead, they construct subjective worlds that, nevertheless, tend towards a universality of experience and can be seen as part of a process of the gradual 'normalization', Europeanisation, and universalisation of Spanish cultural creations.The selection is likely to include five works written by authors born after the end of the Civil War, such as: A. Bautista, F. Benítez Reyes, J. Cercas, L.A. de Cuenca, L. García Montero, J Marmas, E. Mendoza, A. Mu±oz Molina, A. Orejudo, A. Pérez-Reverte, S. Puértolas and A. Rosetti. In the case of poetry, a relevant anthology including some of these authors will be recommended.
