SPN 4930:  Women in Golden Age Seville

Dr. Shifra Armon

Taught in Seville, Spain

In this course we will study the (sociological) position and (ideological) positioning of women in sixteenth and seventeenth-century Seville. Mary Elizabeth Perry's Gender and Disorder in Early Modern Seville serves as a point of departure for investigating the polarized Magdalena/Santa views of women, which the class will explore on site in Seville's painting and Church iconography. Perry also identifies the economic reality of women's independence in a city whose male population was severely depopulated by the demands of war and New World conquest.
