Expanded Course Description
| In this course, Puerto Rico and its Diaspora, we will study the construction of national identity in Puerto Rico and in the Latinx/Puerto Rican community in the US. Our exciting approach to rethinking Puerto Rico as a “cultura fronteriza” and our study of its national identity will be interdisciplinary in nature. We will study Puerto Rico from fields such as History, Politics, Sociology, Philosophy, Sociolinguistics, Music, Art, Architecture, Food, and Literature. How do language dynamics shape visions of national identity? How does the use of Spanish and/or Spanglish also determine our conceptualization of Puerto Rican identity in the island and in the United States? Since Puerto Rico became territory of the US in 1898, its neocolonial political state defines how languages such as Spanish and English are taught and spoken. Through essays, articles, images, documentaries, music, art pieces, a play, films, short stories and poetry we will study how the social dynamics surrounding Spanish (and English and Spanglish) change over time. We will also learn about Puerto Rico’s current financial crisis and how Puerto Ricans are responding to it (through creative ways) in the island and in the US. |
