Expanded Course Description
| One of three Culture and Language courses (SPAN 301, 303, and 305) that begin a student's advanced-level work in the Spanish major/minor. These three courses are designed to empower students as they make the transition from language-based study in first- and second-year Spanish, into the use of the Spanish language in the study of works of literary art and other cultural expressions of the Hispanic world. Each course presents specific social, cultural, and historical issues through literary works and journalistic, cinematic, and artistic materials. Primary attention is given to the development of the analytical and critical skills that are a crucial part of a humanities-based education. At the same time, students continue to improve abilities in speaking, reading, and writing Spanish by enriching advanced-level vocabulary, practicing written and oral expression, and improving aural and reading comprehension. All three classes seek to develop students' capacities, in Spanish, for the integration of humanities content through synthesis, reflection, and critical thinking. These courses thus serve as an effective "bridge" in preparing students for upper-division literature survey courses (SPAN 316-319) and further literary and cultural study in the Spanish major and/or minor.
Note: These "stand-alone" courses may be taken in any order and as they fit the student's interest and schedule, to fulfill requirements for the Spanish or Romance Languages majors or minors.
SPAN 301 Culture and Language: Identities in the Hispanic World (Cultura y lengua: Identidades hispanas) explores various social and cultural identities that have formed in different parts of the Spanish-speaking world (especially Spain, Latin America, and the Caribbean). Through literary and journalistic texts and films--ancient legends, colonial-era accounts, present-day narratives, essays, and dramatic works--we study the historical presence and the contemporary realities of various ethnic groups and social classes.
