Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films

Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films

Wed, Sep 23, 4:30 PM
From Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films

**Spanish conversation through Latin American books and films. Level B1+.** **This is not a language exchange and not a grammar class.** Every session we read a short story or watch a film, and then we talk about it —in Spanish, for real, about something worth discussing. **De qué va esto** Llegas a un punto en que entiendes casi todo, te defiendes en el bar, y aun así sientes que hablas en español traduciendo desde tu cabeza. Ese techo no se rompe repasando el subjuntivo otra vez, sino poniéndonos a prueba, practicándolo más, aprendiendo cosas nuevas y debatiéndolas. Por eso aquí no partimos de un manual, sino de un cuento de Mariana Enríquez o de una película de Lucrecia Martel. Leemos, vemos, discutimos, nos peleamos un poco, aprendemos vocabulario nuevo, expresiones, cultura general, historia. **Qué hacemos en cada encuentro** Un cuento corto o una película, avisada con tiempo para que llegues con ella leída o vista. Una conversación guiada de una hora larga, en español. Y una capa de contexto: quién escribió eso, desde dónde, qué estaba pasando en su país. Alternamos literatura y cine, así que también entra el español de Argentina, México, Chile o Colombia, que es justo lo que descoloca a quien aprendió en España. **Para quién es** Nivel B1 en adelante. Si necesitas subtítulos en tu idioma para seguir una conversación, todavía no es tu momento, vuelve en unos meses y te esperamos. No hace falta haber estudiado literatura ni cine. Hace falta tener ganas de opinar. **Quién lo organiza** Soy Miryam Hache, escritora argentina afincada en Barcelona. Autora de la novela La belleza del desastre (Jekyll & Jill, 2026). Licenciada en Letras y en Cine, y durante cuatro años dirigí una revista de crítica de cine y literatura y di clases de español durante años. Soy alguien que se dedica a los libros y al cine. **Sessions run entirely in Spanish. Everyone is welcome —bring an opinion and a pen and notebook if you want.** +Price: 15 euro per session or 49 per month.

DUBLINESES, de James Joyce

DUBLINESES, de James Joyce

Sun, Sep 20, 4:00 PM
From Club lector.
4.7

***Dublineses*** (en inglés, *Dubliners*) es una colección de quince relatos cortos del escritor [irlandés](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irlanda "Irlanda") [James Joyce](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Joyce "James Joyce") escritos entre 1904 y 1907, pero publicada tras diversas vicisitudes en 1914. Los quince relatos, que en principio habían sido doce, constituyen una representación [realista](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Realismo_literario "Realismo literario"), y aun [naturalista](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalismo_(literatura) "Naturalismo (literatura)"), en ocasiones sutilmente burlona, de las clases media y baja irlandesas en el [Dublín](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubl%C3%ADn "Dublín") de los primeros años del siglo XX. En estos relatos, Joyce trata de reflejar la «parálisis» cultural, mental y social que aquejaba a la ciudad, sometida secularmente a los dictados del [Imperio británico](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperio_brit%C3%A1nico "Imperio británico") y de la [Iglesia católica](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iglesia_cat%C3%B3lica "Iglesia católica"). IMPORTANTE: Se ruega que los que se apuntan a venir presencialmente a la sesión, confirmen que van a venir mediante un RSVP. Todos aquellos que, máximo 24 horas antes de la sesión, hayan confirmado su participación y no se presenten, serán expulsados del grupo.
