This module offers a rigorous interrogation of the tensions that have shaped the Hispanic World, from the inception of the Spanish imperial project to the contemporary socio-political landscape of the Iberian Peninsula and Latin America. 'Counter-Currents in the Hispanic World' invites you to examine the contested space between state power and those who resisted, subverted, or reimagined it.

Through a curated selection of historical documents, visual arts, and performance, we will move beyond traditional narratives to explore the 'counter-currents'—the radical politics, violent reactions, and cultural assertions that define Hispanic identity today.
