Expanded Course Description
| Based in the study of literature in its historical and social contexts, this course is an introduction to the cultures of the Hispanic world from the early 16th century to the early 19th century (the period of the Latin American Independences). The course will also explore relevant connections between social and cultural aspects of these centuries and our times, through the study of relevant contemporary literary texts, and other cultural products such as film, and/or works of art. Students will:
Identify and explain key cultural problems of the Hispanic world from the 16th Century to the Latin American Independences
Compare and contrast regional and socio-cultural differences, as well as hemispheric tendencies, in Latin American and Spanish literary production
Situate assigned literary texts and other types of cultural production in the context of the historical events, social movements and aesthetic currents that influence them, and in contrast to other literary and cultural periods
Distinguish the ways in which literary texts and other forms of cultural production thematize social conflict relating to gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity, language and other cultural differences
Identify the ways in which the formal elements in a given literary text (such as genre, figurative language and point of view) point us toward appropriate or useful interpretations
Write logical, convincing critical argument as response to a critical question, using evidence from primary literary and historical documents as well as secondary essays by modern scholars
Demonstrate continued improvement in written and spoken expression in Spanish, with increased attention to accuracy and fluency
Spanish 342, along with other courses in the Hispanic Cultures through Literature series, fulfill the arts and letters group requirement. They cover broad historical periods, geographic areas, and genres of aesthetic production, provide students with an overview of how literary texts and other forms of cultural production thematize social issues relating to gender, sexuality, class, race, ethnicity, language and other cultural differences. Students also focus on the study of how formal elements of literary production (genre, figurative language, point of view, etc.) point us toward appropriate or useful interpretations. These courses also continue to develop students’ abilities to write logical, convincing arguments as response to a critical question, using evidence from primary literary and historical documents as well as secondary essays by modern scholars.
Spanish 342, along with other courses in the Hispanic Cultures through Literature series, also fulfill the multicultural group requirement. Their Transatlantic orientation obliges students to compare and contrast regional and socio-cultural differences, as well as hemispheric tendencies, in Latin American and Spanish literary production
