Arte En Las Calles, Graffiti En Granada: Un Movimiento En Cambio, Alyson Virginia Visser
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
¿Qué significa arte? Esta es la pregunta más popular en todas las clases básicas de historia del arte del mundo. ¿Cómo podemos definir el fenómeno de arte? Hay miles de argumentos de lo que puede ser arte, de lo que deberían enseñar en los museos de bellas artes. A lo largo de historia, ha habido artistas de todas las formas cambiando las “reglas” de lo que es aceptado como arte en la sociedad. Ahora mismo, en el siglo XXI, la mayoría de la sociedad puede comprender el arte como una expresión con un mensaje del artista, hecho sobre algún material …
Pedro Almodóvar Y La Representación De La Mujer Española, Eric López
Pedro Almodóvar Y La Representación De La Mujer Española, Eric López
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Pepi, a young, beautiful, and thoroughly modern woman, answers her door one morning to discover a police officer. His apartment faces Pepi’s balcony so he has seen her growing drugs illegally and has come to arrest her. In a desperate attempt to escape punishment, Pepi offers the policeman sexual favors with one condition—that he not have sex with her because she is, in fact, a virgin. Neither interested in her virginity nor her rights, the police officer rapes her. And, from this moment forward, Pepi plots her revenge. The opening scene of Pepi, Luci, Bom y otras chicas del montón …

Lately it seems to me that anything I ever do is about me trying to define myself. I did not grow up with any “this is unequivocally who you are, you are x” kinds of messages and mostly I feel grateful for the open perspective this has allowed me. However, sometimes I can feel the power of being a part of a community based solely on one’s own heritage. It is attractive to feel that you belong somewhere just by virtue of being you and that some fundamental part of you is held in common with others. The few times …
La Ornamentación De La Alhambra De Granada Y Su Proyección En La Cultura Y La Religión = The Ornamentación Of The Alhambra Of Granada And Its Projection In The Culture And Religion, Alyssa Anderson
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
During the three years between my first visit to Spain and my arrival this past September, the one thing that stuck with me and continued to call my attention was the Alhambra. Upon experiencing this both historically and artistically important site, I felt completely enchanted, and a little mystified, by the grandeur of the architecture, the intricate decoration, and the extensive gardens. Since then I have enrolled in a university and have dedicated my studies there to Art History, therefore, there was no question that the Alhambra would be the perfect subject for my independent study. Although I knew before …

When I first arrived in Spain, I wanted to conduct my Independent Study Project on the relationship between machismo and homosexuality, and how these lifestyles were represented in the arts throughout Spanish history. Ideally, I would have liked to study the foundation of machismo, and how it was realized and enforced upon the Spanish people and culture, especially during the regime of Francisco Franco. Then, I would have liked to contrast that movement with the portrayal and the image of the homosexuality community, exhibiting how that broke such a traditionalist belief system. The reason why this subject fascinated me was …
Los Santos Católicos Y Su Repercusión En La Sociedad = Catholic Saints And The Repercussion On Society, Virginia Dyson
Los Santos Católicos Y Su Repercusión En La Sociedad = Catholic Saints And The Repercussion On Society, Virginia Dyson
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
My study of the saints of the Catholic Church and their affect on society in Granada was spurred first and foremost by my own personal faith and interest in the topic. Spain is a country filled with religious iconography, and I became interested in the idea of popular devotion when I noticed that there were religious symbols everywhere. In addition, religious themes are celebrated in a very public, state supported manner. The mixture of society, religion, and government is incredible for a nation that claims to be non-confessional. Simultaneously, I discovered through various conversations that the level of devotion to …
La Cultura Del Agua En Al-Andalus = The Culture Of Water In Al-Andalus, Natalie Lacy
La Cultura Del Agua En Al-Andalus = The Culture Of Water In Al-Andalus, Natalie Lacy
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
I jump in the lake, moving through crisp liquid, opening my eyes to the clarity of sunrays dancing on the sandy bottom that expands itself to an indefinite line between shore and water; my hair flows softly behind me as I glide away from the surface of reality, releasing all tension within and absorbing the surrounding purity. I float towards the surface, leaving the silent world beneath, taking a breath: I am renewed. It is this sensation, swimming on the shores of Lake Superior, that inpsired my utter infatuation with water. Having grown up on an island, I have lived …
Inmigración Marroquí En Granada = Morrocan Immigration In Granada, Emily C M O’Neill
Inmigración Marroquí En Granada = Morrocan Immigration In Granada, Emily C M O’Neill
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
In today’s world of increased globalization and great economic disparities, the discussion of immigration has become all the more controversial, complicated, and relevant. I believe in the right to immigrate. The nation into which one is born strongly determines the destiny of the individual. I was born in the United States, a rich democratic country and subsequently may have greater opportunities than someone from an impoverished nation, this does not mean, however that I have more right to life than the latter. It is a sad reality that people are forced to leave their homeland in search of a better …

I did not choose this play, it chose me. My focus for the Independent Study period of my SIT study abroad semester during the spring of 2004 in Granada, Spain, was, from the very beginning, one of theater. As a theater major at Occidental College in Los Angeles, California, the choice to extend this passion to Spain was a logical one. I had planned, initially, to study the role of women in Spanish theater, particularly women in contemporary Granadino Theater, perhaps working with a director, actors, and even a theatrical company, to view and participate in the production and realization …
Semana Santa En Blanco Y Negro = Semana Santa In Black And White, Renata Strychaz
Semana Santa En Blanco Y Negro = Semana Santa In Black And White, Renata Strychaz
Independent Study Project (ISP) Collection
Semana Santa is an amazing social and religious phenomenon that takes place in Spain during the week before Easter. Various church based groups leave in procession every day to make their pilgrimage around the city. The processions consist of penitentes and nazarenos who wear the familiar pointed hat and hard linen robes tied around the waist by rope. Next comes the mantillas, women dressed up in all black with the traditional hair piece, carrying rosaries and candles as they accompany Jesus and the Virgen who are the stars of the procession. Normally each group has two platforms carried on the …
