This is the module outline of a new course that will be taught at the School of Modern Languages and Cultures of the University of Leeds from September 2012. This course is aimed at Final Year students of all our Spanish BA's. It has been designed as part of the University of Leeds' contribution to the JISC-funded OpenLIVES Project, in collaboration with the University of Southampton and the University of Portsmouth. You can also find a blog entry discussing the rationale for methodologies chosen. The module combines research-based learning and professional/life skills and allows students to be real producers of cultural critical knowledge.

This is a task aimed at developing students skills in interview coding whilst appreciating the emotional richness of the life story of Germinal Luis, a Spanish migrant whose testimony features in the OpenLIVES collection.

Este documental ofrece un análisis de las entrevistas a Javier Zaragoza y Lara Gallego, dos emigrantes que viven en Leeds, en el norte de Inglaterra, debido a la carencia de buenas perspectivas laborales a causa de la crisis económica. Tomando como punto de partida el dato de que 400.000 personas han abandonado España desde 2008 (Mora, J, 2013), este audio documental compara las ideas preconcebidas de los informantes antes de llegar a Inglaterra con la realidad de ser inmigrante en Inglaterra, con el fin de ayudar y concienciar a los españoles que están pensando en emigrar al extranjero. El documental fue producido como parte de la asignatura "Discovering Spanish Voices Abroad in a Digital World (OpenLIVES)", de la Universidad de Leeds.

Este documental, que forma parte de un proyecto estudiantil en la Universidad de Leeds, hace hincapié en los aspectos sociales que acompañan de la migración. En concreto trata de las redes migratorias y comunidades solidarias, y sus efectos en cuanto a la integración. Durante el documental, se recorren las experiencias de cuatro emigrantes, hiladas por explicaciones y reflexiones del narrador, e incorporando algunos aspectos de la teoría migratoria contemporánea. Al enfocarse en casos individuales, se resaltan elementos esclarecedores, emocionales y relevadores, y se intenta crear consciencia acerca de las circunstancias a las que se enfrentan los migrantes, especialmente en lo que concierne a la emigración económica proveniente de España. Las ideas expresadas en el documental son propias del narrador, y no necesariamente de los entrevistados.

En este documental se utilizan extractos de entrevistas con Javier Zaragoza y Lara Gállego, dos emigrados que viven en Leeds en el norte de Inglaterra, para reflexionar sobre cómo los entrevistados se relacionan con sus respectivos lugares de origen. Con este propósito, se examinan los motivos por los cuales los emigrantes dejaron estos lugares, el apego que sienten por sus comunidades de origen mientras se encuentran fuera, las opiniones de sus amigos y sus familias, y finalmente, si tienen planes de regresar. Es un documental de reflexión con un toque literario.
