Contemporary Iberian Poetry and the Struggle Against Neoliberal Reason

This course delves into poetry's potential as a cultural tool for reconstructing societal bonds. The impact of techno-capitalist development and its market of information has standardized and commodified discourses around different niches of thought, leading to the breakdown of common notions and increased social confrontation.

Exploring modern and contemporary Spanish works and initiatives, we analyze how poetic writing and performance are used to address political issues through collective experimentation.
