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 305 Culture and Language: Social Change (Cultura y lengua: Cambios sociales seeks to extend students' knowledge and understanding of the Spanish language while studying some of the major political, economic, and historical changes of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in Spain and Latin America, with an emphasis on how these have affected everyday life.
This class belongs to the Cultura y Lengua series, known in the Spanish Sector as "Puentes" classes which bridge the second-year sequence with more in-depth studies of the wide array of cultural and language realia which broaden and enhance students' understanding of various topics through the Spanish-speaking world including SPAN 301 Identidades hispanas, (Hispanic identities) SPAN 303 Expresiones artísticas (Artistic expressions). SPAN 305 Cambio social, (Social change) forms another entry point for majors and minors in Spanish and in Romance Languages. SPAN 305 adds a broad array of both historical and contemporary investigations of the causes, manifestations and change brought about by both social movements and cultural leaders. Students are challenged to think critically and collaboratively. |
