An introduction to the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), an event that had a tremendous impact over Spains twentieth-century history, culture, and society. Through the study of distinct number of cultural products (memoirs, novels, films, photographs), we cover the social and cultural history of the war, the way it has been represented in different periods of history, as well as why and how it has been the inspiration of many works of art (Picasso), films (Del Toro) and literary pieces (Max Aub) produced all over the world.

Like the other reviewers say, Moscoso is crazy, disorganized, and a fantastic teacher. His class was a little bit of a mess and we ended up dropping an entire project because he didn't figure it out in time. However, his grading is fair (though the tests are hard) and he's unbelievably helpful especially outside of class.

I discovered my passion for psycholinguistics through this course! Moscoso is an incredibly intelligent professor, and is really good about taking difficult concepts and explaining them in a simple, easy to understand way(he's really creative with his examples). If you need help schedule an agreed time to meet in person!

Fermin is passionate about psycholinguistics - but sometimes he gets a little disorganized. He is bad about getting back to you about grades, but is very communicative if you go to his office hours. If you talk to him outside class, he will go out of his way to help you and explain things and make sure you understand.

This dude is fifty shades of crazy and fifty more shades of smart. Tests ARE HARD (don't believe him when he says they'll be easy) and you'll hate yourself if you don't go to lecture or don't go over the review. He basically lives in his office so you can stop by for help any time. I also think he shoots up pure caffeine when no one's around.
